konfuzd Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I have a friend who I used to be quite close to. Over time, we've kind of drifted apart because she goes to school during the day, and works at night. Nothing ever went sour between us though and I always considered her a good friend. I was spending time with her one day and mentioned that I needed to buy a backpack for a trip I was taking. She told me she had one I could borrow. I politely declined, but she insisted, telling me she'd feel better if someone got use out of it since she probably would never use it again. So I agreed, thanked her and offered to bring her back something from my trip as a token of appriciation. About a month before my trip, I called her to arrange to pick up the pack. She wasn't home, so I left a message. I called several more times, and left messages specifically telling her I was packing for my trip and wanted to pick up the pack, but she never returned my calls. I made other arrangements for a pack, and went on the trip. I've now been back from my trip for a month, and still haven't heard a word from her. Until today. I get a text from her (simply part of a mass text, I'm sure) saying that she is a finalist in a contest from a local media station, and needs votes. The prize is a one year internship, so it would really help her career. Normally, I would send notices to all my friends asking them to support her, but I'm still kind of miffed about the backpack, and the fact that she still hasn't returned my calls. My first instinct was to reply to her text and say something like, "I'd have a backpack full of votes for you, well if I had that packpack you were going to lend me" or something... but I thought it might be a bit snotty. I don't know if I should just ignore her, or if I should somehow confront her on how I thought she was really rude. What would you do?
Author konfuzd Posted September 16, 2008 Author Posted September 16, 2008 Well, considering this is a female friend and I'm in a committed relationship with a man, love has nothing to do with it. I decided to swallow my pride and vote for her as well as encourage my other friends to vote as well. I haven't talked to her yet though and not sure whether I should or not or what to say if I do.
