I can't post about the most insufferable person I know. Instead I will tell you all about a moderately insufferable person.

Several years ago, someone I thought was a friend asked me if we wanted to be added to their Amazon Prime account. She framed it as, "Hey, we just realized we could add people for free to the account and thought you might want to be on it." I said sure and was grateful. At the end of the year, she told me they'd decided not to renew their service, and I was all, "Okay, cool, thanks for this past year," and then we got our own Amazon Prime account.

I found out recently that she has been badmouthing us since then for not paying them for being added to their service (and they didn't really cancel their service; they just wanted us off it). At no point did she ask for money; she framed it as a gift, a cool thing she realized she could do for someone she liked. If she had said, "Hey, we realized we could add people to our account; want to give me 20 bucks for the privilege of free Amazon shipping?" that would be one thing. But she didn't.

I am reminded of the time my Aunt Ruby offered to quilt me a blanket. I already owned several of her quilts and cherish them because they are homemade by family. When she had finished it, Aunt Ruby presented me with the quilt and a bill. I was astonished. If she'd said, "Want me to make you a quilt? It'll be about 30 bucks for materials and labor," that would be different.

What is with this passive aggressive bullshit re: money? I would never invite people over for dinner and present them with a bill after dessert. I might say BEFOREHAND!, "Hey, y'all, boulibasse is expensive. Wanna pitch in?" or ask if somebody would bring the shrimp and somebody else the crabs, but I wouldn't magically assume my guests could divine that I wanted them to do so.

I am so fucking pissed about this horrible woman.
