My friend of whom I've been knowing since 3rd grade made me supremely pi$$ed this morning. Her car got impounded last week. Not only did she not have the registration, but she didn't have the insurance on her. Well, when the cop ran the plates, the registration wasn't in her name because when she bought the car, the crooked title transfer place took the money and never processed the paper work. Well, the cop impounded the car because he didn't know what was going on with it.
She is just so irresponsible. She now has the insurance...and I know it's not her fault the the Title company is crooked but... To get her car out of impound she has to meet with the special investigator handling the case. Evidently, she's not the only person the Title company screwed.
She was suppossed to go this morning with her friend Andy who loaned her the money for the car in the first place to get this all straighted out. Her and Andy fought this morning and she showed up at my house this morning as I was leaving for work begging for help. She wanted to borrow my car, drop me off at work and go to the DMV to meet this investigator.
Well, the car is not in my name. It's in my Grandmother's and I'm on her policy...there was no way I could let her drive my car. So she has me between a rock and a hard place this morning. She took a cab to my house...I'm leaving for work and she says she doesn't know what to do.
So I sucked it up, called my work and said I'd be late and drove the freaking 45 minutes out of my way to this DMV where she needs to be this morning.
I'm pissed that she didn't figure out how she was getting there last night. It was just irresponsible to assume that Andy could take her this morning and that I would take pity on her and take her. And none of this would have happenned in the first place if she would have just followed up on the registration. It doesn't take months for them to send the paper work to you.
My mother said she took advantage. I think it was just wrong of her to show up on my doorstep this morning...or am I wrong and freinds help each other out when in need or is it simply a case of her being irresponsible?
My boss isn't too pleased that I called in this morning. He's not mad, but I know he's not happy. For the most part work is flexible that's why I knew I could do it, but it wasn't the best idea. So normally I get to leave early on Fridays, but now I feel obligated to stay and work later to make up for how late I was this morning. I was only 45 mins. late...which was a blessing considering I'd thought I'd be 2 hours late, but still.
Sorry this isn't very coherent. I'm still ticked. One of my other friends told me not to feel bad about being angry...basically if a friend asks for help they should be understanding and know the help will come when it's convenient for the one giving the help not according to the schedule of the one asking for help. What do y'all think?
