A friend of a few years came down to visit recently. She was supposed to stay for the weekend, and decided to stay almost a whole week. Fine, plans change, I understand. We knew when she came down that she was low on money, and offered to help her out with her meals. While she was down here, she drank a whole lot of alcohol, we took her out to dinner, cooked for her, and gave her a place to stay. She complained that we didn't stay up until 4am with her every night, as we each had work in the morning.
Well none of it was good enough. All week I heard "Why don't you take me here?" and "Can I have some spending money? It's really sad that I don't have enough money to get stuff." She even started coming on to my husband and got annoyed that I wasn't ok with it! (nevermind that HE wasn't ok with it, and it wasn't the most disrespectful thing she's done) Finally it came time to leave, and she demanded gas money! I only had $10 cash on me, so to get her out of my hair I handed it over. She apparently hadn't brought ANY money to get home, and expected us to pay gas for her to drive a van eight hours back home. She just bluntly informed us "I need money to get home, but this isn't enough. You probably need to get more." I ended up just leaving because I was so annoyed, and was not about to be late because of her.
So she starts driving and we get a call two hours later that she's stuck in the middle of nowhere, lamenting the fact that she didn't just wait for us to go to the ATM and get her more money. Oh, and blaming ME for making her stay miserable, because obviously my husband was really into her and I ruined all her fun. She's still texting and calling my husband obsessively (he's in the process of blocking her number on his phone), and I haven't heard a word from her.
How do people like that exist? Should I feel bad that I didn't give her the at least $60 it would have taken to get home, even though she never discussed it with me, and just told me to give her money? I would never want to leave anyone stranded, but her behavior was borderline psychotic and certainly disrespectful of any friendship we had.
Ugh, I'm just so disgusted that this even happened. What is WRONG with people?
Is this your first time being exposed to these glaring character flaws in your friend??? If you know she's a wackadoo, why did you have her over to begin with? If you didn't know, well you know now, and it's time to cut her out of your life for good.
After the agreed-upon weekend, I would have locked her out of the house and, when she invariably raised a ruckus to get back in, called the cops to remove her. You went along with her demands far too long.
The first time she misbehaved, especially the part about coming on to your husband, you should have kicked her butt across the street and back again and then sent her on her way. She's a parasite.
