I have a friend who had a few tough years finding a stable job teaching. About a year or two ago, she threw in the towel scrounging for a position at home and moved abroad to teach at an international school in Europe. During her spring break, she told me she was back in the city, and would DH and I like to have her for a couple of nights? Of course. Would be great to catch up. No problem.
When we picked her up that night, she informed us she hated the school she was working in, had quit her job with no notice period (basically gone on vacation and not gone back), abandoned her apartment, and all of her worldly things were now in a suitcase while she was waiting for a new teaching contract in Asia to come through. While this was a bit startling, we didn't think much of it and brought her home for a two-night visit.
After she set up in our spare room and we'd had a few glasses of wine catching up, my friend informed us that the accommodation she'd arranged with another friend had fallen through, she had no place to stay for three weeks, could she please stay at our "lovely" place with its convenient spare room, and no, the Asian job had not yet actually sent a contract through. But she was sure she would be moving to Asia in "only" three weeks. Oh, and she had very little money left in her account, having quit her job and all that, so she couldn't afford to stay in a nice hotel. We told her we couldn't put her up, so she made a big show of visiting a few much cheaper hostels in the area and said to us, "No, they won't do." DH and I still told her we couldn't put her up, so she flounced off to another city.
Months later, we tried to bury the hatchet and she apologized to me. And then a couple months after that, she had a bad day at work and wrote a long email to me about how cold I had been, and how her real friends had nothing but sympathy for her because, after all, she had been homeless :( .
Hall of fame worthy?
