[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all the replies, but OP, it occurred to me that you're not mad because you have to give your friend the treadmill for free, but it's the way she's almost psyched at your misfortune. She's kind of shoving it in your face that your buyer backed out and shouting "YAY ME" because your buyer backed out.

I'd tell her that even though you'll give her the treadmill, you are upset that she is so happy at your bad luck in not being able to find a buyer.[/quote]

It's this. Many posters are fixating on the treadmill and it's really not the point. The issue is that the friend viewed OP's inability to sell the treadmill as some kind of boon for herself. Even if the friend was privately pleased that it worked out this way for her, the kind thing to do (especially given the different financial situations they are in) is to at least openly empathize with OP's situation. The way the friend handled it is like if you worked with a friend and were both up for the same promotion, and you got it and your friend didn't, the least you can do is be gracious. This is basic friend stuff, it's really very little to ask from someone.[/quote]
