[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many posters seem to think OP is mad she was unable to sell the treadmill. No. OP is disappointed to not be able to sell the treadmill, but that's it. She's frustrated that her friend appears to have decided that [b]OP's disappointment is the friend's gain, which is not very friendly behavior[/b].[/quote]

NP I agree this is the crux of it. It seems weird that when a friend is disappointed because X happened the friend would then immediately jump to take advantage of situation X and be gleeful/pushy about it. It sounds like B is being really obtuse about how much this situation sucks for A to lose out on the money she expected from the sale and is acting like this is some awesome situation. It’s really tone deaf.

I think if B had asked for the treadmill, A had said she was trying to sell it, and then B said good luck if anything changes let me know, then A would probably feel better about the situations if gifting it to B as the backup. But it just feels like B is acting excited that this happened while A is feeling bummed and that sucks. B needs better situational awareness.[/quote]
