[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yea.  If I was willing to do this for a friend, I’d have been insulted by the extra $185.   I’d even have been insulted by offering to pay gas.  But I wouldn’t have said anything, just stewed and/or returned the extra.

I would have appreciated a useful
souvenir from your trip, a bottle of wine or gift card for Starbucks/pedicure or even better, treating for a coffee/drinks/pedi “date” as a thank you.

If you care, I’d just send her a clarification text saying you didn’t mean to make her feel that way, and suggest you get together for something fun when you get back. [/quote]

Agree with this. I would have sent her a massive, profusion thank you and then asked when she was free for dinner, my treat, when I got back. Friends don’t pay each other for services. A strong friendship doesn’t develop resentments over stuff like this because both people understand that if the situation was reversed, the person asking would also do the thing being asked.

I’m betting OP is not at that level of friendship with this person, thus the awkwardness and resentment. You have to be careful about where you go for your “big asks.”[/quote]
