I have this really annoying neighbour that lives in my appartment complex.
I feel that she is just trying to use me. This is what happened. I ran into her when I went to check my mail. She asked me if I knew anyone who would want her budgie(a bird in a cage). I said I couldnt think of anyone and that she should put an add in the paper. She told me that would be too expensive. Then she asked me if I could give her and her bird a ride to the SPCA. She doesnt have a car. I really didnt want to and told her it would have to be another day. She told me she would try another person who had a car.
Well she just knocked on my door. She said she couldnt get a hold of this other person and needed a ride tomorrow afternoon. I told her I couldnt and that I would be working (which is true). I thought she would leave me alone but then she had the nerve to say, "Well WHEN CAN YOU GIVE ME A RIDE TOMORROW"? AND WHAT TIME DO YOU START WORKING"? I wanted to tell her off but I live in a small building and didnt want people to bad mouth me. So I caved in and now I have to drive her and her stupid bird to the SPCA tomorow at 11. She didnt even offer to give me any gas money!! I don't even like her, she's a nosy old bag and always asks my when I'm going back to finsih my college degree and should move back in with my parents. I also heard on the weather channel that we are getting freezing rain tomorrow, and it's a bad road up there. Am I overreacting or is this lady just using me?

She is just using you. Just tell her the truth & I mean, you said the apartment complex was some what small & the people would bad mouth you, I really wouldnt care. That's THEIR problem, not your's & I dont see any of them offering to be so kinda as to take her & her bird anywhere.

I know you don't want to but you already said you would, and it can't be that bad. It was really rude of her to say that, but she's older and I think it would be really nice of you to give her a ride. Maybe she's messed up in her life or something bad happened in the past and she's trying to help you out in a grouchy mean way. Just maybe!
I hope I helped
