Yesterday, i received a email from a renter living in one of my girlfriends houses. They said a water line had broken and the city had come and shut water off at the meter so it wouldn't flood the street. I quickly loaded up all my tools to drive the 120 miles to that house and fix the broken water line. She has 2 houses in that little town with the same problem but other is vacant at present.
I told her i was going to fix both broken lines at the 2 houses. She got mad cause i couldn't give her an exact cost to do this before i even had a chance to look at the lines.
All it would cost her is the cost of the pipe, wouldn't have to pay for my time or gas to do this. She's not dumb where costs of pipe and stuff is concerned but she got so damned mad at me. I didn't ask her for a penny to do this for her. What in the Hel l is her problem?

I don't know what her problem is either. You should tell her that you are doing that as a favor to her and that she should be nicer about it and that as soon as you get a price for the pipes you'll let her know the cost (she saves big no matter what the pipe's cost is). This being said when you get it out of your chest don't fuel the fire in her..tell her that she was out of line but that you know how she can make it up to you (this part is when you use your imagination). Anyway, life is too short for petty arguments so don't sweat it too much.
Take care

wow this lady gots issues, what I'm thinking is that she figured since you were her friend that you weren't going to charge her anything, and thats just being selfish, she was getting a great deal in the begging, helping each other thats what friends are for not taking advantage.

I'm not sure what her problem is. But, it does sound like you were very nice to help her out in the way that you did. She should consider herself very lucky to have a friend like you.

Maybe she is worried about taking advantage of you. Why did the tenant e-mail you instead of her though? Should they have run it by the landlord first? Hmmmmm is the tenant female?

Maybe she is overwhelmed with the responsibility of the rental property.
