Do people take advantage of you? allow you to pay for them etc
does this happen to you?
ive got some friends that always seemed to leave their wallet somewhere, or damn had no cash on them etc etc.
i used to treat it as an experiment just to see how long they would keep it up, but in the end, i just ended up paying more and more for them
what about other more obvious things?
My wife has a music degree, and loves piano, so she teaches the neighbours kids piano wednesdays for an hour. There was all kinds of big talk about paying. Its small money for sure, but its the principle of the thing. She isnt charging top dollar, they agreed on a low price...and basically they get their kids out of the house for an hour or two. Going on month three and not one mention of being paid, or anything.
the same family, i redid their websites, with help of an overseas worker we have. That actually costs me money to keep him on, no payment...and its adding up big now.
What about beer? neighbours come over, i like to entertain, but if its a regular occurrence should i really be spending money to get them drunk 2-3 times a week? what about the food etc as well...lets not even bring up the cleanup....they come..they eat..they drink...and then get up and leave like they were at a bar..lol
am i a sucker?
or is it normal for these things to happen in friendships?
