Fall out with Friend over tent!

Just wondering if Im being Unreasonable here...

My friend, her sister, cousin and 2 dogs are doing NC500 later this year and asked to borrow one of our tents... Which I did say should be fine but when I spoke to my husband (whos tents they are!) he said No to our 6 man tent due to it being brand new and we havent had a chance to use it but did offer our 4 man tent but only if they make sure it doesn't come back smelling of weed (which the sister smokes potent weed). I grew up in a house surrounded by the smell of weed and its a trigger but also we are carers and have social workers visiting our home so do not want an item of ours smelling of weed.

Anyway I messaged saying I couldnt loan the 6 manwith the sitting area but could loan the 4 man as long as I had reassurances no weed would be smoked around the tent. I got a reply saying for my information they are in a campsite (not info I had) so wouldnt be smoking weed near the tent. I asked her to please see it from both sides and remember my history with weed. She took a screen shot and when I said If shes going to moan thats fine she said she was glad I agreed....

Now I dont think im being unreasonable because I know of quite a few occasions as told by my friend that she smokes when she isnt supposed too because of her moods they give in alot... I told my friend I felt she was being extremely nasty when I simply asked her to make sure it didnt smell... I feel like if she thought I was being cautious for nothing she would have said of course I understand ill make sure we look after your property rather than getting nasty about it...

Please tell me im not being unreasonable

My daft DH gave his cousin and family my expensive tent last year to camp in a muddy field at home in terrible weather. They are v well off and were supposed to be buying their own. I had to ask for it back and they dumped it back. Not folded or in bags as they "were so busy" Damaged and dirty. I was raging. Never ever lending anyone anything again.

@MJ1995

Did she ever apologise OP ☺️

MJ1995 · 30/07/2021 19:26

@QueenBee52 Nope! She actually contacted my sister to tell her what a horrible person I was and how hopefully she could show me how unreasonable I was being 😂😂😂 My sister hasnt liked her for years as she felt she just used me, and she had seen the text messages so she let her know how she felt and its been radio silence every since! Its a shame it ended like that but im glad to see her true colours!

I would never ask someone for their tent and I'd never lend a tent. It's too much pressure and they need to be put away exactly right
