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?

What was their excuse for not switching jobs with you?

@SW-User thinking I had an alternative motive for wanting to switch / something to gain (like “why does he want to? Ummm nahhh let me say no just incase”) literally this.

@Lolco I see. Well, in that case, they probably didn’t deserve your help if I put myself in your shoes now. But, personally, I always treat people with altruism even though they’ve never done anything for me. That’s how I work my kindness around people. You don’t have to wait for people to be nice to you so that you can be nice to them in return. They can do whatever they want to you but if you show them that you’re still true to yourself by the end of the day, you’ll have their respect.

@SW-User it’s impossible for me to disagree with this because this was me always & I understand.

@Lolco Lol I find it hard to disagree with you being petty too because I’ve been there. It feels so good though to revenge 😂

@SW-User Lol 😂 ....but the crazy part about it is that I don’t even seek revenge , but to give in return what was given to me .... it actually hurt me a bit not saying yes, it really bothered me because it is not in my nature... but, I don’t know, my mind told me to stick to no even though my heart wanted to say yes .... experience is a very valuable teacher you’ll see ;)
