Sometimes a quick \u201cget well soon\u201d turns into a bigger ask than expected.<\/p>\n
When one woman checked in on a friend<\/a> who had emergency surgery, she kept getting redirected to a meal train for the friend\u2019s entire household.<\/p>\n That\u2019s when the request started feeling less like support and more like an uncomfortable obligation.<\/p>\n Keep reading for the full story.<\/p>\n I got a text from a friend on Sunday saying she\u2019d had a sudden abdominal surgery.<\/p>\n She also sent me a link to a meal train for her family of five.<\/p>\n Her friend made it quite clear she expected her help.<\/p>\n I asked her how she\u2019s healing today, and she again sent me the meal train sign-up.<\/p>\n They are gluten free.<\/p>\n She\u2019s really not even that close to this woman.<\/p>\n This is a friend I was closer with 20 years ago, but now we get together once every few months.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t know her husband or kids enough to know their likes and dislikes.<\/p>\n And she\u2019s definitely not in the financial place to be buying elaborate meals for near strangers.<\/p>\n I\u2019m single and work 40+ hours per week, yet still live paycheck to paycheck.<\/p>\n This friend has both parents and in-laws right here, as well as two adult sisters.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t really have time for this.<\/p>\n The people in her circle suspect the need isn\u2019t quite as urgent as the friend makes it seem.<\/p>\n My sister, who has had a couple C-sections, thinks the whole idea is ludicrous and that the friend is reaching with this request.<\/p>\n Her husband or their teenagers are capable of throwing something in the oven.<\/p>\n What a bizarre request.<\/p>\n Redditors chime in with their thoughts.<\/p>\n Some requests are better left ignored.<\/p>\n Meal trains really aren\u2019t designed for people like her.<\/p>\n This user has another word to describe this situation.<\/p>\n This user\u2019s experience was much more acceptable.<\/p>\n Some people will do just about anything to take advantage of someone else\u2019s kindness.<\/p>\n If you liked this post, you might want to read this story about a teacher who taught the school\u2019s administration a lesson after they made a sick kid take a final exam<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\t\tCategories: STORIES<\/a>\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
