I have someone in my world that when ever I stop at some place...Dunkin Doughnuts, KFC, pretty much anywhere when your grabbing something to eat, I call this person and ask, "Hey you want anything?"
And I get it...never once asking for compensation...why? Because its the polite thing to do. BUT this same person NEVER does this back...said person stopped at Dunkin again today and shows up...even pointing out, "I had to stop at Dunkin Doughnuts for coffee." and...needless to say I was never asked. Kinda pisses me off. And its not a money thing hell if I was asked I'd even give them the money for what they picked up, and I'm not that petty, its a polite thing. I mean I know people I've worked with who have done this with me....they call up and say, hey I'm hitting the deli before I hit the office you want anything. But this person...every single time...comes here empty handed. Its kinda annoying. |

Sadly, I have many "friends" like this. It is not so much with money, but with sacrifice. I have a specific "friend" that I have helped move from one house to another three times, normally at great expense to my time and body. This person has never helped once in return, not even to haul an old AC unit to the dump, when he *also* had to go to the dump. In short, sometimes friends really aren't friends when something is required of them.

I've got a friend that's WORSE than that.
He's screwed up his life so badly (it's a loooooong story...) that he's essentially homeless and destitute, but he still talks to me about buying comics! He borrowed $10 from me two weeks ago. No big deal. Then, he asked me to give him a ride to the pharmacy. An annoyance, but no big deal. THEN, on the way, he wanted me to stop at Gamespot so he could pick up a $14 video game!!! For some reason I did, and didn't even say anything to him about it. The dude's living on the state's dime in a hotel, owes me $10 and he's buying video games... I've written him off now and haven't been answering his calls. I have no time for people like that... Haha, thanks for giving me the forum to rant, B.A.T.! |

Sounds like you should stop asking your friend if they want anything. Some people are just like that unfortunately. One thing you didn't mention is if your friend is struggling financially. If you generally have more money than him/her maybe they think you don't expect them to treat you to something. Of course if they really can't afford to treat you once in a while to reciprocate they should decline when you ask them.

If it was my wife I would just stick it in her butt without asking and if she gets pissed, I'd tell her "that's for not bringing me a donut jerk"

I used to have a few friends like that but I dropped them more or less once I figured out they were trying to take advantage of me. Unfortunately me best friend still hasn't figured that out. He still hangs around those very same people and it's cost him alot. Hell one of them we hadn't even heard from in like 6 months but when my buddy got a decent sized check in a few months back, all of the sudden he wanted to hang out and his girlfriend who's relationship had been deteriorating for a few months decides she "loves" him now and wants to get married. So when he ended up blowing all his money, that particular friend stopped hanging out and his girlfriend dumped him a few weeks later. It really makes me angy when I think about it cause my buddy is the type of guy who is always looking out for everyone else and not enough for himself. Whenever he stops by a place to eat he'll always ask if I or anybody else with him wants something and never asks for his money back. There have been times I even have to tell him don't buy me anything and let me pay for it. Don't get me wrong, it's a good quality in a person but his problem is he doesn't manage money well at all. And what's worse is he never listens to me or his other friends who are truly his friends that these guys are just taking advantage of him.
