Annoyed.....

*Siiigghhh*

So, you know how there's facebook right? And you know how there's certain people on there that rarely contact, message, "like it", or even write you. Well, today somebody decided to message me. She never ever writes me, but today she decided to slip me a hello. The hello was short and straight to the point. She was basically asking for a favor......a favor that needed my assistance (in which it pertained to my job.) Of course that makes sense on why she would even continue to keep me on her friend's list.

I mean, I can understand if we were like second cousins, besties in school, or close colleagues. None of those examples apply to this relationship we have. We actually met through a middle person and just casually got to know each other. Nothing serious....nothing more.

It just annoyed me seeing her message in my inbox. Seeing that the only way I come across her mind is if she needs some type of "hook up" or "discount." Then...here's what put the cherry on top of all this. I actually wrote her back (after contemplating with myself for 2 hours) and replied with a short answer as well. I offered a little bit of my assistance and came up with a cheaper alternative to the favor she was in need of. I send the message.......(hoping that would be that.) Nope. She writes back a couple hours later and asks, "anything cheaper?"   What??! Are you serious? First you have the nerve to write me after what seems like 3 years of no type of contact. Then the contact that's made is just for your convenience with no intention of even the slightest type of compensation for me. And then lastly, I reply back with a solution and it's received as unappreciated.

*humph* 

I know normally this situation would be easy to address with a simple "delete" off the friends list....or even just the cold shoulder. But this situation is somewhat awkward. This person knows too many people we know...which equals too many chances of us bumping into each other. I rather save the awkwardness and suck it up....Oh, did I mention this was the second time within this year. Hahaha.......Y-e-a-h.....no more favors for her. I came to the conclusion that she'll just have to get the good ol classic white lie- "Oh, you did?? *acting surprised* I never received a message in my in box. Hmmm, FB must be acting up again." Then I'll cross my fingers and hope they won't still need that favor....

Has this ever happened to you? What do you do or say?
