What an annoying bitch! MJ and I went grocery shopping together, we decided to put it all in one cart, mine in the lower basket, and her's in the upper basket. 2 baskets, 2 payments? right? NOT! MJ said at the very last minute that she needed to pay for it all, with her card.
"Why?" I was a little annoyed.
In an "as a matter of fact" manner, MJ said: "I needed the points."
"I want my points too." I negotiated with her in a polite tone.
She got out her card, and handed it to the sales with a BIG smile. "Charge it all on mine."
I grabbed my basket, "Stop! Wait! I want to pay for mine."
She turned around to face me, with such determination! Gritting her teeth and said: "I need the points for the parking fee."
Fair enough, I thought, since I came with her, in her car.
That was incident number 1.

Incident number 2:
Yesterday, MJ and I were shopping again, this time, everything were in the same basket/trolley. But I had seperated mine, all of mine were at the bottom. We were walking towards the counter again, and she declared that she NEEDs to pay for it all with her card again. Hey, I do not want to owe you money, I can pay it with my dad's card. I AM SUPPOSED to...
Getting a bit annoyed, I asked her: "Why?"
She, with her "as a matter of fact" tone, replied: "I better pay it with my card. I RATHER pay it with mine."
That was not an acceptable explaination, it baffled me. SHE baffled me.
I do not want to cause a comotion in public and I know if I insist on opposing to her weird ideas, she will most likely start to cause ONE. So, she paid for it ALL.
We sat down to tea, and I got out my calculator, mine all added up to $567.80 HKD, and her's was only $130 HKD! Now, this is what I do not understand. Might it be the Asiamiles points on her card that she wanted? If that was the case, then I don't want to be her friend anymore. It's not that I am being petty. It's just that, through small matters, one can get to know how other function, and I needed to know if she really is "that" selfish.
Trying to sound as casual as possible, I asked : "Why did you want me to owe you $567.80? your's only $130? Are you shot of Asiamiles points for a journey that you are about to embark on?"
J shot me a look, " I wanted more points. I just wanted MORE points."
That was the look of GREED.
Now, I want to ask Bonniegirl, Lo (Max_x), Blackmamba and anyone else, what would you do? if stop shopping together, and quit being with her isn't a choice?

Re: Annoying bitch
i dont understand...so explain a few things first

where do you live again, and what are HKD dollars?

what is the card you are using for purchases

and what are asia miles?

 

it sounds like she is being extremely greedy, altho i dont understand the whole story because i am in the usa and i dont have the asiamiles thing to contend with...

but i can tell greed when i see it and if she is your friend, she must comply with your requests; you do not have to put up with rude behavior from her...

when you are friends, you are able to say what you feel...so be honest and open with her...do not dump her as a friend yet..try to work it out first, as good friends are hard to come by in this life.  But don't let her walk all over you just because you want to be friends with her...if you do that, then that is how it will be during the whole relationship with her.  Tell her how you think, but in a kind manner.  If she does not want to abide by these standards, then you will have to do something more.  Keep your own buggy at the supermarket, pay with your own card, and dont take no for an answer any more...she is not your mom...and does not have any kids with your name on them, and you already have a perfectly good mother to tell you what to do...

Re: Annoying bitch
First thing first, Asia miles are mileage program that covers many airlines. Kind of like UA mileage. I am currently on summer vacation in Hong Kong, and HKD are Hong Kong dollars. I am due back in London in September for art school. We can also earn Asiamiles points (mileage) with many brands of the credit cards, I am using amax.

Re: Annoying bitch
thanks for that information....have you had anything esle to do with her?...keep us informed of how things work out, dear...and keep your chin up.
Lo on
Re: Annoying bitch
Haha.... I know, lately, for a certain HSBC credit card, if you get enough points, you can get an iPod Nano, a PSP if you throw in about $200HK something, or a TV if you spend big, I think. I think there are other things, but those are the only ones I remember.
I'd argue if I were you. I'd either say I don't want any of the stuff any more even if I do just because I'm stubborn like that, or, I'd argue until I get to pay for my own stuff. cuz... um.... $567.80 is quite a lot, IMO.
