Send to a Friend

If someone is doing you a favor and giving you something for free, do you expect them to deliver it, as well?

Asked by laurenkem (3408points) July 29th, 2012

For this scenario, you are a single mother without very much money, and always struggling to make ends meet. If a friend of yours wanted to give you clothes that her son had outgrown so that your son could wear them (thereby eliminating the expense of new clothes at the start of the school year), wouldn’t you be grateful?

Is expecting your friend to take the time to load 3 bags into her car, drive it to your house (even though you have a car) and deliver them to you over the top?

I won’t even state my opinion on this, as they are both my friends. I would just like to know if any of you find this ungracious and ungrateful behavior towards someone trying to do you a favor.
