Last year I moved in with someone I considered my best friend. Well, he and my female best friend started dating, she all but moved her clothes into the
apartment and they both ignored me for months and then they both got pissy with me when I demanded she pay some share of the rent. I'm sorry, but if
you're staying here every night for three months straight, you need to pay rent or get the fuck out of my house. Things between the three of us have been
strained, to say the least.
Anyway, tonight, I got home from work and she's doing preparing something in the kitchen. I finished preparing my dinner only leaving the kitchen to let it cook. I go back out there when it's done and she's got everything she had used piled in the sink. As I'm sitting down to eat, they leave to go get something to eat. So I finish with my dinner while they're gone and start doing the dishes. What I've used is mostly pots and pans. I get most of that done and out of the way, and I wash whatever she had left in the sink. I had left everything but the dishware out to air dry until I could get to hand drying it. They walk through the door, and with a snotty little attitude she tells me "You didn't have to do that. It's mine." Sorry, what? "You didn't have to do that. It's a wasted effort on your part. It's appreciated, but it was a wasted effort." I told her I'm already here and doing the dishes, your stuff was there, might as well. She then tells me that I don't have to keep doing everything for everyone. Then she tells me that she wasn't finished with what she was doing.... and then reiterates that it was a wasted effort. She never did go back to it. Just put it away. I was just out there and my roommate (not her) had left something in the sink. I went ahead and washed that, it took all of 30 seconds to wash, rinse, dry and put away, so why the hell can't they do their own shit?! I don't get it. I never thought that doing a favour would result in such a shitty reception.
I'm sorry, what does that have to do with me doing your dishes? Just say thank you and let it go. Don't insult someone and tell them it was a wasted effort. Because really I'm honestly starting to feel like the 6 years I've put into our friendship is a wasted effort now.
