OMG my friend is so odd.

[Jermys]

She just posted on FB that she's stuck in Arizona at her brother's house and that if anyone wants to donate airline miles to get her back to Kansas, she would appreciate it.  A couple of months ago, her brother gave her a car.  Like maybe you could, I dunno, get a job?  Pay for your own shit?

Whuut?!

[sewf]

Speaking as someone born and raised in Kansas who now lives just over the Missouri border, why does she want to go back?! Especially with all the damn snow we have right now!

Seriously, people who consistantly mooch off of other people annoy the crap out of me.

Wow, that takes balls to ask!

[tdk2]

my sister is all kinds of crazy like that. she doesn't see why that's f-ed up either.

[tdk2]

lol, i wish my reaction was more shocked.

OMG

[Jermys]

I'm such an asshole, I just replied "Good luck!"

[anastasiabeaverhause]

WOW, it kills me how people feel like they are owed shit.

I'm so glad my sister is just ever so slightly growing out of this phase.

How'd she get there with no money??

That's what I wanted to know!!  I also wonder what her brother's wife thinks of all this.  Her brother totally enables her all. the. time. and if it was my SIL, I don't know that I would be okay with my husband giving his sister a five year old minivan instead of trading it in.  Or paying for part of my rent every month, etc.  If you're an ablebodied adult and you don't work because your family is constantly bailing you out, it's weird.

I would be less than happy with MH if that was his sister, to say the least. I would want to give her the miles just to get rid of her and I would make sure there would be no way she would be getting back!

What is wrong with people? I know a family like that. They are constantly posting things like "if anyone has a washer and dryer/car/babysitter/crib we could have, let me know". Right now they're having a "benefit" and asking for donations to send one of their kids to college. He graduated a couple of years ago and had a job, so I'm pretty confused as to why they're asking for raffle donations and having a benefit to raise money. Get a loan like the rest of everyone that couldn't pay for college.

I love the balls that people get from FB.

What I don't get is why do these people think I should give them my airline miles? They don't like mooching off their brother anymore- that's an emergency? They want free shit so I should fork it over? Why is that?

I'd laugh if these types weren't kidding. But they are not. Follow-up FB posts usually lament at how "selfish" people are since they didn't help. Wow.

DH's cousin is so like this.

Her facebook status today was " Anyone want to drive me to work today,I don't want to walk in the rain?"

First off, if you stopped getting tattoos and smoking cigeretts maybe you could afford to put insurance on your car. O ya it would also help if you didn't get a DUI and lose your license.

She is also pregnant with her (now) FI's child. (have been dating since end of Nov and is 10 weeks pregnant.) She normally has her status as "Anyone that has any extra baby things I would love to have them, we can't afford to buy things for this baby!" (They were TTC when they became pregnant.)

Sorry for the vent this is a touchy subject with me. (I did block her today!)

Livinitup, I'm waiting for the "OMG how can people be so selfish!" post. It's coming in the next couple of days.
