Overheard my cousin say “We asked <my name> she daren't say no :(

[cocktailsausages]

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 “lose” the coffee, and the milk and sugar too

Please text her with how much petrol money she owes you

Oh let the kettle slide under front seat ! Please tell her partner can he be quick emptying your car as you have someone important to see.

I agree with this!

When we moved last year BIL and my friend’s dad worked their arses off to help us, I insisted on getting them a takeaway, paid their fuel costs (they wanted to refuse but I insisted) and got them both a crate of beer each! Gratitude and manners cost fuck all, and she hasn’t even had the decency to do that for you!

OP until you can get home for . You are clearly a lovely person but please don't help this relative again and give yourself some distance from her now.

I would stop somewhere before ending up at the house and mark every box with "NO".

I'd definitely take the fuses out of anything electrical. And lose the teabags.

How horrible. Definitely lesson learned.

I hope she brings your petrol money when she comes to collect the kettle. Good on you OP. Enjoy the rest of your day

@Talith genius!

Dampen all her teabags and coffee in the rain.

Bitch.

What a cheeky bitch.

Keep the kettle and deny all knowledge!!

Don't clean her old place, either! For god's sake, that woman is a cheeky bitch.

The kettle should definitely roll under the seat until you have asked the partner for petrol money and if none is forthcoming, it can be overlooked until you pass a charity shop or bin.

Get the stuff out asap and enjoy the remaining afternoon.

Definitely keep the kettle. A small but petty act of vengeance

Brilliant that you have her kettle. Not completely essential, just irritating enough.

Do you know why she thinks you daren't say no?

Remember, you are making the world a better place by saying 'no' to this CF. It may not work straight away, but small bites of the elephant and all that.

I’d give her the kettle back by the way. When she can collect it at a time convenient to you.

Let partner unpack the kettle but lose flex under seat.
