Well, we lost a "friend" today. Not because of politics but because my wife wouldn't leave work to

[diabeticman]

take her to drop something off that she could of asked us two days earlier or even this morning. No this person waits until 1 in the afternoon while my wife is working text her and calls her twice saying she needs a ride. My wife apologized saying she was working but maybe it was wrong of my wife but did remind the friend she would drop the keys off after she was done working so she could feed the cats.


This "friend" said that meaning no disrespect she isn't going to bothered to walk down to our apartment to feed our cats since my wife can't be bothered to take her to the office to dropped off papers.


My wife said she wasn't going to risk being fired and that her job came first. The "friend" went on to insult my wife's weight and tried to guilt her into doing it by reminding my wife of all the things she helped her with.

My wife quickly counter with all the rides we gave this "friend" who really hasn't been a friend for months...unless we are wrong and calling someone only when you need a ride is a friend.


My wife is pissed off and I told her it isn't worth the effort. I do feel bad for my wife. It seems because of her generous caring heart and her wiliness to help people at all cost she seems to attract moochers than honest friends.

1. Sounds like you got the "friend" label right...

I know, it still hurts, but it sounds like someone was being taken advantage of, and your wife may have stopped that.

2. I would say - good riddance.

3. Fellow moocher attracter here. It is tough.

Hope your wife recovers from this without too much pain. That's what happens to good-hearted people. It takes a lot of hard knocks by moochers before one can wake up and accept that there are others who are just takers. Took me decades.

4. Might I suggest changing the locks right away

as this lady is a loon with keys to your house and a grudge who know when you will not be home.

5. can't loan people money either.

because you know you'll never get it back, and you'll feel depressed loaning it to them, knowing it's going down a black hole.

at least that's been my experience.

6. perhaps her "friend" will be back when she wants another ride. ugh. n/t
