As above. My cousin asked me to help her move, no petrol money offered, not even a bed for the night as she wants to spend first night in new home with her partner alone. I said yes and here I am, worked all morning, soaking wet, was waiting for her in the car outside to follow her to new place, she didn’t come out so I went back in her hall and heard on say on the phone to someone that she’d asked me to move her because I daren’t say no to her.

I always help out when I can, I’ve taken a day off and driven a long way. Now I feel used.

I'd get back in your car and go home. Then next time say No!

divadee · 02/05/2018 13:07

I would walk out, get in my car and go home.

cocktailsausages · 02/05/2018 13:08

I’ve got a car full of her stuff or I would!

Go home now

thenightsky · 02/05/2018 13:08

Drive away?

GymBot · 02/05/2018 13:08

Go home and tell her why.

littlewoollypervert · 02/05/2018 13:08

Unpack your car. Leave her stuff on the path outside her old house. Walk away. Treat yourself to a nice coffee/cake on the way home, and enjoy your day off.

Ghostontoast · 02/05/2018 13:08

stuff 'em - go home!

desertmum · 02/05/2018 13:08

take it out of the car, leave it on the pavement and go home

ANameforToday · 02/05/2018 13:08

Go home now.

thenightsky · 02/05/2018 13:09

Oh.. just saw your second post. That makes driving away more difficult.

HollowTalk · 02/05/2018 13:09

Take the stuff out of your car and drive off. She's taking advantage of you - don't let her!

Babymamamama · 02/05/2018 13:09

Ask her "Did you mean to be so rude?"

Myse1f · 02/05/2018 13:09

Is there some history/weird family dynamic where you can't say no to her?

cocktailsausages · 02/05/2018 13:09

I would take ages to unpack and its pouring down.

Go home anyway. Hold her stuff hostage and demand a fancy dinner as ransom.

IAmALionTamer · 02/05/2018 13:09

I’d just say to her that I heard her talking about me on the phone and ask her why did she think that you wouldn’t dare say no.
Then let her explain and if the response doesn’t sit right with you, then say what you’ve said in your OP about feeling used and head off home

FrizzyNoodles · 02/05/2018 13:10

Drive away and enjoy your afternoon. That's awful but it's a good thing that you heard as you know what to say next time

Returnofthesmileybar · 02/05/2018 13:10

Unload your car and drive home, fuck that!! Prove her wrong, if you stay and help her moved you have just proved her right!!!

Slapbetcommissioner · 02/05/2018 13:11

It's going to have to be unpacked somewhere. The only person who cares if it's at your cousins old house or her new one is her. Makes no difference to you. Unpack her stuff and leave. Prove her wrong.

cocktailsausages · 02/05/2018 13:11

Myse1f she obviously thinks so!

OP posts:
NobodysChild · 02/05/2018 13:11

Drive home with her stuff. She can ask someone else who won't say no. Fuck her!

Osopolar · 02/05/2018 13:11

Seriously chuck it all out and leave.

littlewoollypervert · 02/05/2018 13:11

You are wet already. Unpacking the car will take half the time it took to pack - after all, you are not going to take lots of care with the bitch's stuff, are you? Grin

Then you get back into an empty car, put the heating on full so that you dry off nicely, and head off to do whatever you like!

sparklefarts · 02/05/2018 13:11

Please please unpack her stuff and tell her where to stick it
