Warning: rant ahead So my neighbor came to pick up her dog and his stuff this afternoon. I watched him for free from Wednesday until this afternoon. You know what she gave me? Her thanks and a hug. I mean I wasn't expecting to be paid like kennel rates but like a couple of lottery scratch-offs or some flowers wouldn't have gone unappreciated. Fine. Whatever. Then like an hour later she texts me that she has a package being delivered here today. I told her that the mailman was just here but I can't go check the box until tutoring is finished at 4. She replied "that's fine. No rush." Damn right no rush. Its not my stuff, I didn't order it, and she didn't ask if she could have it delivered here. After that my Apple Watch dinged to let me know I had a text message. Actually I had 2. They were from Chantal asking if she can borrow $70 until she gets paid on Sunday so her cell phone doesn't get turned off. She lives with her parents. Why isn't she asking them? Me--being the person I am--I won't say no. I know she struggles and she has a 1 year old baby. She needs to have access to a phone. But seriously? Why is she asking me and not her parents or the baby daddy? In any case I really have no right to complain at this point because I already Venmo-ed her the money. So that's been the past hour of my life. When are people going to start doing ME favors?

I'd be miffed too. I think the NJChicaa Kennel should be closed.

What? Do you have entitlement issues? That's for the NEXT plane! Or is it plain?

My mother once had a package delivered to my trailer. It was supposed to be a gift for her boyfriend's grandkids. She told me that she had supposedly told her boyfriend's daughter that it was ok to send the package to my trailer. But the daughter didn't ask me. And I didn't know how to get the gift to her. So I ended up sending the package back to the company. Plus I was afraid that the neighbors saw the package because one of the rules living in that trailer park was to have no kids which I don't.

Sorry to know these persons bothered you ,you are kind lady,seems they are used to depending on you,As adult,everyone should rely on theselves.We are not children any more.furthermore,your neighbor should know gratitude,the package is just her own things.ppl should consciously avoid bothering others.
