So, I was sitting at this happening restaurant, about to dive into this delicious meal and in pops in someone who I never wanted to see, ever. Unfortunately, she caught my eye and I had to acknowledge her. She was someone who always borrowed something or the other from me in the past. I learned my lesson the hard way, not only with her but with a couple of other ungrateful creeps over the years. Anyway, a friend and I who I hadn’t met for a while, wanted to try out this new place. I knew however that this parasite would shimmy over and wangle an invitation. Acknowledge her I did, as one would out of courtesy, but she came over with hugs and expected the same enthusiastic response. I managed to end the unwanted embrace and not one for taking a hint, she looked with glee at my plate and before I could say anything, she put her dirty fingers in and dug away at my lovely lamb chops. I never invited her - she just plonked down, called the waiter and placed her order. She kept talking and eating away at my meal while I looked disgustedly at her, as did my friend. When he could not take any more, he picked up my purse, dragged me out of there, said goodbye for the two of us and left. She was still eating the chops. She picked up quick that we were leaving her, only to have her follow us and asked to borrow money! We ignored her, paid our share of the bill at the counter and left.
Does this sound familiar to you my darlings? Has anything similar happened to you? Did you manage to get yourself out of the tricky situation? Many people believe it is their right to ask. All that I can say is that you do not need to help a person who never repays the debt. Think about it, anyone who is in need all the time is no friend of yours or someone you need to help. A sponger is not someone you need to hang out with...The only solution is to pack and run as fast as you can.
