My Neighbor, CONTINUED
about a year ago, my "neighbor" found some termite droppings around a couple of her windows and
decided to have her house fumigated. But who of the many people she called would do it?
she wanted me to meet with each of them at her home when they did their walkthroughs and then she
wanted me to go through their written estimates and help her choose someone.
Well I told her, we could just get someone to tent her home and I could do the repairs.
(I am a general contractor and a carpenter by trade)
So after I spend a bunch of time trying to help her weed through these people, her son says he will make the
decision. So, all my time was wasted and she had someone else make the repairs.
Of course I received nothing for my time.
Then there was last Thanksgiving
My daughter and I were cooking together and the plan was to let her take the majority of the food home for
her BF and her after.
This "neighbor" had already told me her grand daughter was coming and they were going out for
thanksgiving. (She didn't invite herself over thank God)
So, the day after thanksgiving, she calls me and says, "We never got out. Would you cook
Thanksgiving dinner for us? I'll pay you."
Well I was already burned out from cooking the day before and I really didn't want to do it but I did.
I went out and spent $22 on the stuff I needed and then spent 6 hours cooking. They enjoyed it immensely
and the next day she gave me $30 for my efforts. (which included the $22 I spent out of pocket)
