Too lazy to help friend

[DeepFatFriar]

I know AIBU but...

My mate is having a party. She has a standard sized fridge. Shes making buffet food for all the guests and has asked if she can borrow the old fridge i have in my garage to store more food.

Of course she can and of course i will help but AIBU to just think....why!!!!!!!

Her mum lives 5 minutes down the road in a converted farmhouse (so think massive kitchen with extra fridge) and will also be attending the party - can she not just ask her mum to store food and bring it over?
Or just do a BBQ?
Or just reorganise her fridge so all the stuff can just go in the one?

Im just feeling lazy because we live in am apartment so garage is in the basement, with only one key to access garage. So DP will have to take car out then give me keys before he goes to work, then will have to load fridge with her into some type of van i assume, be around for when dp gets back to open garage for him, and then do it all over again when she wants to return it.

I know im just being whiny but....well i wanted to whine.

I have a friend like this who constantly puts out messages asking friends for favours or to borrow things that other people normally just go out and buy or manage to do the thing by themselves. There are some people who like to involve everyone in their lives and constantly ask for favours. In my friend's case, I think she's an insecure, needy person and testing people to see how much of a friend they are.

I know someone like this. It’s actually pathetic as I think it’s a front for seeking human interaction. A vicious cycle as people avoid her as they know she’ll want something from them, so she wonders why she’s alone and then puts out more requests as a cover for seeking interaction and people avoid her even more...

... she’ll even post statuses with questions that are SO easy to find the answer to. I mean questions like ‘does anyone know what time tesco shuts today?’ to everyone’s credit, she doesn’t get many replies to that sort of thing.

Moving a fridge is a NIGHTMARE and quite often breaks the fridge.

Theres an element of this, not attention seeking but definitely needing people to "pitch in" when not strictly necessary (maybe to feel comforted that people are there for her).

For example she asked me to go with her to an important appointment for something, so i did, but turned out she had a 2nd friend coming too.

I mean whereas i would have just gone alone, and also in this case honestly i would have just done a bbq.

Thick question alert, but what's an ice box?

Cool box

Sorry......
