[quote=Anonymous]I don't think she's a jerk. I think we're getting one side of the story and OP should probably just reach out to her friend once she's back in town and see what's up. This is not a conversation to be had via text.

It's very possible that this favor was much more difficult to execute than OP had originally let on or than the friend realized at the time, and the annoyance is stemming from that. A friend once asked me to get something from her house and it was way more of a hassle than she let on -- she had key that stuck in the lock and required like five minutes of maneuvering to make work, while I was doing this her neighbor showed up and started hassling me because they thought I was breaking in, her house was a wreck, the item I was picking up wasn't where she said it would be, etc. It was annoying and would have been annoying even if she'd paid me for my trouble.

I'll also note that this friend had a tendency to ask for favors a lot, and I figure out (around the time as that errand to her house) that she was a super disorganized person who often leaned on other people to help fix messes she got herself in because she was very forgetful/irresponsible. She'd always be super nice about these requests but it wore thin after a while and I also had to set some boundaries similar to what OP's friend is saying here.

We are only getting OP's version of the story. There's a reason her friend is annoyed and it's not because she feels OP didn't give her enough money. It's something else OP either doesn't know about or isn't disclosing on purpose because it makes her look bad.[/quote]
