*sigh* I think I'm a pretty calm person most of the time. I don't usually get ticked off (unless it's my little brother, of course). Only a few people would bring the worst out of me. And I gotta say, this one girl does it pretty well (not as well as my ex-roomate, but she still deserve the applaud). Anyway, this summer I'm RA-ing and I was doing my weekendly night shift. I had a nice chat with this one girl. Thought that she was pretty normal. She was from up north and moved here only for about 1.5 years. She doesn't know anyone from here who is Asian and she doesn't know where to get her "Asian Resources" (e.g. Boba places, sandwiches, restaurants, etc). Since I was a big fan of Asian-things, I drew her a map of the common places in Alhambra (my knowledge isn't that broad though, but it's enough to get you feeling Asian again). She said, "Cool, thanks very much! We should hang out sometimes and you could show me these places." It seemed like she wasn't understanding my map or has no patience for exploring what is out there in Alhambra for it. So, I didn't mind. I go there sometimes to get in-tune with my Asian side, so why not? I told her that I will tell her if I ever take that trip. Anyhoo, she returned 4 hours later when I had to close up the office. She asked if I have any sugar or sweet things. I thought, "Why of course I have sugar." She said she was needed some, and I told her that it would take me about 30 minutes to lock up everything if she wanted to wait. For the first 10 minutes, she was being really patient and waiting for me. Then she asked if she could stay in my apartment and wait for me instead. I was like (O_O) "what the hell is she thinking? I ain't letting the girl I barely knew in my apartment all by herself!" Instead of yielding to her request, I said, "I'd rather you not stay there by yourself. Something might happen." That's the best thing I could come up with. And I never encounter such a weird situation. I was starting to have weird vibes with her. So 30 minutes later... When we walk back to my apartment, I asked her again to clarify, "Did you say you wanted sugar or sweet things?" "Oh.. no no, I meant sweets. I was craving for sweets and I don't have any in my apartment." Anyway, I let her in and gave her some blue berries. It was almost 12, and I gotta call my boyfriend and I don't want to talk with her for too long. She asked me if I have anything else, and so I gave her my cliff bar (energy bar). Awhile later when I said I have to go to sleep, she asked if she could get another one. I was like WTF, this girl is freeloading off of me. I asked her if she gone grocery shopping yet. She said not yet, very soon though. She then asked what other flavors do I have, I said I think I only have one because I bought it in a package. Then I grabbed one for her, and it's a differen flavor (I didn't even know I have other flavors). So just by impulse and honesty, I said "hmm...I guess I do have other flavors. She asked to see the whole box! (I was seriously starting to get pissed off. Can't see appreciate what she gets? Then I thought, I guess it's ok since I'm just giving her one more bar. It does not matter what flavor she chooses anyway). So, She couldn't decide which bar to get. She asked me if she could get two. I was like "mother...." "Sorry, these are for me to exercise, I need them. One is okay, but not two." She apologized and everything and offered to bake me some cupcakes when she has the chance, but I don't need it. This girl, who does she think she's messing with? I may be nice, but you shouldn't take advantage of that. I'm not dumb either, so you can't step all over me. Damn!!! I hope I'll never have to run into her with this kind of problem again. Seemed like she is broke or don't do shopping. She told me that when she goes to Costco, she would eat at the stations. Anywho, I'm a student myself. I'm not wealthy either and certainly, I'm not responsible for her hunger. I'd rather help a homeless. ====================================== Anywho, that was that incident. Boy, it happened again!!! Last night, she came by my apartment at freaken 10:45pm! I was studying though. I asked if I was busy, I said yes that I was studying and having class at 8 in the morning. She told me that she thought we could sit down, chat, and snack on something. From previous exprience, I thought what she actually meant was if she could come in to my place, have a chat with me just so she could eat something from my fridge. But I decided to give her a benefit of the doubt. "Stop thinking mean things about her. Maybe she would've invited me over to her place and chat and eat." Anyway, her presence at night, in front of my apartment still creeped me out. 20 minutes later she came back, and I was like "what again this time??" I didn't think it would be her. I should've just kept my mouth shut and not answer the door. I opened and she was trying to find ways not to sound too needy and asked, "I was wondering if I could have another cliff bar?" "Sorry, I still need it for work-outs." "Uumm... I am still craving for sweets and I haven't done my shopping yet, do you have any other sweets?" "Let me check my fridge." So I gave her two small cube piece of honeydew. I was wrong to give her the benefit of doubt. She is truly a freeloader. That last piece that I gave her was out of forcefulness from my side. *sigh* I will not give her anything again. damn damn damn |
