People Who Borrow

Okay, borrowing's not a bad thing, but the same people do it over and over again, it's just ridiculous!

My aunt and her new husband have the money to go out and buy a dog crate, but instead they ask for ours again! I think this is the third time they've asked for it. Usually, they come pick it up, call to say they're done, and never return it. My dad hasto go pick it up.

It's a nasty plastic kennel that we never use, but it's good to have just in case. The dog who used to use it slobered crazy and rusted the door, so we cleaned it and put it outside in the shed.

Twice they've asked for it for their daughter's dog. She normally brings the dog to their house during the day while she's at work and school because she doesn't want to leave him alone, and my aunt's husband hates this dog. So now he can't come over anymore.

My cousin is the type of person that if she has more than 3 people coming over, ships the dog to her mom's house. She's a good person, but personally, she who thinks she's an adult, can't even take care of her own dog. Her mom buys the dog food, pays for shots, and everything else. Babysits. Whatever.

Now that they need the crate again, they ask us. Now, my cousin is the preppy, everything is the best for me type of person. No joke she actually said that. I highly doubt that she's going to use this nasty old crate for long before she begs for a new one and gets it without her own money. She who makes $75 a week, pays no bills, nothing but gas (she gets food from my grandmother's house) thinks she's an adult just because she moved out.

Dude- been there done that paid for myself. Come on... I had no one to rely on for money, and I did it. I never once assumed the position as an adult.

My dad is a polite guy and told them yes, but he doesn't want to let them borrow anything every again, but things get lost, they never bring them back. You have to go get everything they borrow. And they borrow more than dog crates. They make more money than my parents and can't buy a $100 dog kennel or the $10 tool or whatever...

Sorry for the long rant... I just really hate my cousin. I've told people in my family before we wouldn't get along if we weren't related. I can't stand her prissy A$$!

And I'm the one in the family that everyone looks down on. Whatever... My family's nothing but a hyprocrital group of people who dislike and look down on anyone that's not like them.... So me who has enlarged piercings, multiple piercings, tattoos, and God forbid reptiles... Ha. I'm the family joke.

I feel your PAIN, let me tell you my stories..

My neighbors (there’s 6 of them) and my cousin are always asking for SOMETHING. I either feel like a freaking welfare office or WAMU. Like don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind you asking me for something if you NEED it; key would being NEED! But if you want to fulfill a want, get out of my face and keep walking. The money I have is because I have learned to save and streeeeeeetch my money since my parents don’t want me to work, unless I find a job that would be relevant to my future in science, so I really don’t know why people come to me asking for favors because half the time I don’t have it.

Let me begin..

First are my neighbors, all 6 of them! They can go out and buy $400 worth of food for a party, plus drinks and cigarettes to smoke their lungs out. But they still knock on my door through out the week for the basics such a milk, sugar and eggs. EVEN freaking cat and dog food because they forgot to get it and rather let the damn pets STARVE then feed them. They even ask to use my computer to print their papers and documents, while they have a newer computer and printer then mine. Funny isn’t it, it’s come to the point I don’t open the door anymore.

My cousin on the other hand is extremely FUNNY! I’m telling she’s freaking hilarious, a HUG riot!

The other day she called me all sad, asking for a favor, with her tone of voice I thought it was something important. Guess what it was? Oh can you let me "borrow" $175 so I can get extensions. That’s when my dumb side came out, "Excuse me, you said you wanted $175 for what....,” then she dropped it. I don’t understand why she wanted extensions in the first place, she’s Puerto Rican with hair down the middle of her back and she wants ME to lend her $175 to add an INCH of hair. Plus she doesn’t have a job to repay the $175 she was planning to “borrow”.. Maybe I’m stupid but $175 - Fake Hair did not mix with me.

She even uses her daughter so I can buy her things. I find it real funny that her 3year old daughter needs Toddler Jordans, Baby Phat Jeans, and a Lacoste Polo. I don’t even have that many brands in my closet. Like are you seriously asking me to pay for all that? You have to be KIDDING ME!?

But the one I LOVE THE MOST! She calls my cell “Hey, you wanna hang out tonight?”, she’s my cousin and a fun person, so I say “Sure.” An hour later after she’s ready, she’ll call me asking her to pay for a cab when she seriously lives two stops away on the bus, which is like a 10-15 minute walk. Stop mooching and work on your cardio!

That’s my story, and thank you for making this thread because it felt like therapy!

After reading this I'm kind of glad that I keep to myself and I don't really have much to do with most people anymore

I just don't have the patience for stuff like that-lol

I am sure that there are many many stories yet to come about borrowing neighbors and relatives

:main_rolleyes:
