My friend called me in tears, asking if she could stay at my place for a week. Of course, I said yes. But within a few days, things took a turn. She’d leave dirty dishes everywhere and demand I do her laundry. By the end of the week, I was fuming. I gave her an itemized bill for everything. She read it, gave me a smug look, and said, ‘You’re being petty. I didn’t ask for all this.’
Later that night, I was horrified to find out from a mutual friend that she had been complaining about my hospitality the entire week, calling me ‘stingy.’ Now I’m questioning whether she was really struggling or just taking advantage of me.
