How Not To Be Used

It is really simple. Have no use.
There's a horrible woman in this district who has used everyone she met. So I decided to have no use.
If I was going shopping she'd ask me to pick up a few things for her. Having been told she won't pay, I took the list then when I returned told her I forgot.
She tried again to have me get her a plumber. I didn't say a word.
Everyone told me she'd have them get some worker and then not pay them and they'd go after the one who 'hired' them.
When no plumber showed up I told her I didn't know any.
She stopped trying to use me after that.
After all, I have no use.

I can't say I don't blame you for that one. Sounds like someone I'd likely not get along with, myself.

@jaylar I've felt with people like that. Annoying, really.

Very smart move to get rid of persons that use you for their purposes.

@jaylar That is true since some people are persistent.

Have no use and be extremely boring to be around. They will get bored and bother someone else.

I would put my hand out and say I need the money first. I have no extra money.

I had a next-door neighbor like that once. She was always borrowing things and taking things. She wanted money, laundry quarters, bathroom tissue, bottles of water, food, etc.
She got an SS payment every month that was more than mine. Her husband had a much larger check. She did this to all the neighbors, not just me. I think that the manager had so many complaints that they told her to travel on.

Glad to hear she stopped trying to push her luck.
Sometimes setting boundaries is the best way to deal with people who take advantage.
