It never ceases to amaze me that those we call our friends often disappoint us the most! I think it should be common sense that if you invite someone to something, they should at the very least ask you before inviting others and if they put you in a spot to where you have to say "NO", then that should be that. I am a planner and thus am the central force of organizing my friends and the events we do, and while I love doing that, I often wish some people would understand the effort and either pitch in or say "thank you". Mooching or freeloading has always been a pet peeve of mine and I shake my head at those who always expect a hand out, a freebie, or only think of themselves.
I have gotten adept over the years of dropping people who engage in these rude practices and now I perfecting the art of telling people, they are rude before I drop them and you know what? It feels good! Rudeness is not a disease so I have cease to overlook it in people.
I think we all would do well to remember that others have feelings and that we could all stand to appreciate those around us and what they do for us and not take advantage of others. Kindness is not necessarily weakness and the fountain can run dry.
Love one another and say thanks to those who deserve it :)
