Have you ever offered to cook or make something to eat for one of more people, bring some of the food over to them, and later on, they blatently & flat-out complain to you, telling you that it either wasn't done enough or that it had too much garlic or whatever the case may be, it is something that you made and they seem to constantly want to find fault with it with their rude ungratefulness and snobbish snotty-nosed behavior?! Acting like they can cook far better than you can?!!! Or even when doing them any kind of favor, and it doesn't have to invovle cooking?
I have two very close friends, a couple who live up the street who I've known now for a year. I also have another friend to lives up the street as well. He doesn't complan at all about my cooking, as he truly enjoys it when I have him over and I offer him something that I'm cooking or have already cooked..
But the couple, as of late, has been complaining at just about every favor that I've done for them, and it doesn't just include my cooking!
Even when I give them a ride to shop for groceries, to the hospital or most other places!!
They're complaining to me that in the parking lot either I park too far from the store door or that I took too long coming back to get them from the hospital!! That is or was MY favor to them!! They've got absolutely no business complaing at me about a free favor or other service to them as a friend to them!!!!!
Last weekend, I was at my sister's house, celebrataing her granddaughter's and her husband's birthday with them. They always have a cookout in the backyard for this special occasion, and other small children are also invited over to join in on the festivities with us and have some fun.
Well anyway, I got a call from the couple in my neighbohood, telling me that the pie crust for the sweet potato pie that I made wasn't done!!! The nerve of them!!! My other friend had no problem with the pie. He said that it was fine and that he's ENJOYING it!!!
I'm at my sister's house, attending a party / cookout, and THAT is what they do?!! They couldn't wait to tell me that later on, like maybe the next day, and in a much nicer way?!!
Then, they complained to me just the other day that some of the meat loaf that I brought over to them a few weeks ago, had too much garlic in it!!! I told them that that is the way that I cook and that if they want any of it, then don't complain, otherwise i won't give then any more of my cooking. They KNOW this already!! Earlier this past spring, I made some onion gravy over there to go with the pork chops that I fried. The chops seemed fine, but they complained about the gravy, saying that it was lumpy when I know that it was NOT!!!
My mom has always taught us to be nice and thankful to people when they do us one or more favors, because you never know when you might need another one.
To me, it would seem quite obvious that these two are blatently looking a gift horse in the mouth!!! Seems that they are never satisified and are way too ungratedful for some of the favors that I've done for them!!!!! I stil like them, but enough is enough!!! I'm tired of doing these favors for them and all they do is complain!!!!!
When someone does a favor for another, no matter how small or large, I thought that the person(s) receiving the favor is supposed to be grateful and not say anything harsh about it. Just accept the thought of it and the favor, in and of itself. But not THESE two!!!
Told another friend about it. He said; "Don't do anything else for them as far as favors go. They are obviously looking a gift horse in the mouth.", which they truly are.
I'll still be they're friend, but I'm seriously considering distancing myself from them because of this!! It truly grates on my nerves that they want favors, but then, they're always finding fault with some of them as well!! They've helped ME a lot, and I've never once complained that I know of. They've messed up on meals also, that I was invited over for to share with them. I've never said anything harsh about their cooking.
So why can't they just shut up keep their insulting complaints to themselves and stop making me feel like I'm nothing but a fall guy because they want to find fault with me when I try to help them?
Nothing wrong at all about being a little bit outspoken, but at times, they are TOO BRUTALLY outspoken!! I believe that there's a time to say something and there's NOT a time to complain, such as when I call myself doing a favor for them!!!
And BTW, one of my other nieces was over, and she even complained about the pies (I brought four over for my sister.)!!! But she took one home anyway and didn't even check with my sister to see if it was ok!!!!! I just hate it when people complain about your cooking or otrher favors, but they want them anyway!!!! What nerve they got to do that!
My favors to anyone is always a courtesy and a token of my friendship. But some want to have their cake and eat it also!! What is the sense in going out on a limb, trying to help people if it seems like all they want to do is complain and be so blasted ungrateful?!!!
