I can be petty ! 😈

I’m not the type to ask for a favor at all I’m very self reliant & do my best to do:accomplish the things I have to ... but if I ask for a favor is because I really need it & this is extremely rare ....

The other day I wasn’t feeling good at all & went to work this way, I asked a co-worker if they could switch with me from where we were assigned & explained why & they refused for the lamest excuse ever so I was like ok np ... ofcourse this co-worker thought they would never need a favor from me ....

today that very same co-worker asked me if I could switch with them & had a very legitimate reason as to why (me switching would have made my job today soo comfortable by the way) & @ first I pretended to not hear them ... they asked again & I pretended to try & figure it out, they asked a 3rd time & I nodded my head no (hard for me not to help someone when it is in my nature to do so, the old me would have been like yes regardless of the fact, but me now is like no) I know this co-worker was upset but guess what , I have a memory & I can be petty for things like this! What would you have done?

Glad you did that. They can't walk all over you. A hole!

Being apart of a team comes with helping each other. But you don't give give give and receive nothing. This isn't a parent relationship it's work.

What you asked wasn't going to hurt them or really affect them. They obviously couldn't care less so you can do the same. Ha!

@Peppa you understood me to the “T” 😋

@Lolco thanks for ba. I think in the past I would have been happy to help despite the lack of kindness from them. But you know what you'll notice people are crafty. And only make a fuss when others aren't kind anymore. But we owe them nothing. We all know we can do better but others make that choice just like you did.
But they always choose against kindness. Why?
TBH they probably only asked because you asked the day before. Some people are like that, just to see if you're a mug.

I don't blame you.

Id probably switch but I'd hit them up about not doing me a solid before. Let them know that we can either work together and help or just do our own thing and not cooperate.

Giving them the favour and remind them of how they turned me down. Be the better person and flaunt it.

@Miram that was the old me, until it would happn again & I would feel like such a sucker ... I don’t let them get off easy anymore lol but I admire that type of action , I just won’t allow it again.
