I just finished the questionaire that was posted by :::OshnSoul:::.
The one question there was pet peeves. It just reminded me of a peeve that I have. Simplified it in my answer there but wanted to ask the fellow TFPers here if this is ever happened to you guys and what you did to solve the problem.
My pet peeve is when people expect you to bend over backwards for them. But when it came time that you needed help they were either no where to be found , expecting to be paid for it or just gave you the attitude of yeah right why should I help you.
I knew a couple people like that. One person I knew was a constant mover and always bribed with money but when the job was done money was never paid. It wasnt with just me it was with everyone, anytime you said no he would hold a grudge for months and black list you just because of that one time you said no. The other person I knew was a constant drinker and has a daughter that lives in a group home and only comes home twice a week. She is responsible for picking her up at the house and then taking her home. But problem there was that she would bring her daughter to her house and then sit in the kitchen for hours on end and get drunk and then expect someone else to take her daughter home. When anyone told her no they were busy doing something else she would get all bent out of shape and say see if I do anything for you again.
I was just wondering how you handle people that thinks the world revolves around them and them alone?
I just stoped associating with them myself. But how do people deal with it when its family members or close enough to family memebers.
