I don't know if I'm over reacting because I'm pulling back from this friendship lately.
Friend has mobility issues, sore joints and such, she's overweight and lives in a flat with no lift. She's depressed and the Dr thinks she may have something wrong in terms of her painful joints.
Anyways I came round today to help her. Spend a good 6 hours doing one room. She's a hoarder I guess. I did around a dozen trips down multiple flights of stairs with rubbish. Organised everything. Cleaned her windows. Dusted and cleaned. Hoovered.
It's was exhausting.
In her kitchen was a really cool, ornate bowl from Tkmaxx for Halloween. I said ooh I love it, she replied that she hasn't even used it and probably won't. I said "ill buy its off you! I'll give you twenty quid" (was joking and laughing knowing she paid £10 for it)
When I'm getting ready to leave she brings the bowl in and asks me if I want it. I thought it was a present for helping but she asks for £20. I say no thanks and she drops to £15
I feel really upset. I didn't want anything for helping and didn't expect anything at all, but to help and then her try to sell me something on way out?! At an inflated price?
It's not a money thing, I borrow her money when needed and she wouldn't hesitate to ask if she needed it.
The kicker was half the stuff we decorated the room with once cleaned was stuff that I gave her when I changed my decor. For free of course!
Just feel like a bit of a mug.
