Im a self employed accountant, and my aunt keeps volunteering me to do everyone shes knows self-assessments and generally for either free, or for drinks money!!! That in itself pisses me off, but as im crap at confrontation, ive done it and it keeps the peace, and she does do alot for my dad so im usually guilt tripped into being helpful back
Anyway, this morning I get a phone call from the cubs group that my cousins kids go to, they have been given my number by aunt who has volunteered me to do their treasury, bookkeeping & accounts!!!! I mean WTF???!!! The lady on the phone tells me how nice it is of me to volunteer my services, and then goes onto tell me the list of expectations of how frequently I have to attend, and blah blah blah. I nicely tell her that I have not volunteered, that unfortunately I am unable to volunteer and they will have to find someone else to do it, possibly ask my cousin who works as an accountant for a large firm.
Then my aunt rings, and tells me how selfish I am being, how they are only a small newly set up cub group, and how my cousin doesnt have the time, and how its now going to reflect badly on my aunt and cousin because I havent done it. That I have the time to do it (which I do, but I just dont want to) and that im being unreasonable. She gets a bit ranty and I hang up on her! She then rings my dad and bitches to him about me. Dads not well and cant really deal with the hassle and is now asking me if I cant do it to keep the peace.
Ive said no, so now my aunt, cousin, dad and the cub group are all pissed off at me.
AIBU?
