the picture yoursel? My friend got some family pictures with her son, & she wants to give me one. I don't care either way to have on or not. She keeps on telling me I need to come up to her job to pick up the picture. I never expressed I wanted a picture, I thought that your suposed to send the pictures in the mail if you're not going to see that person. I don't drive, & to get up to her job is an inconvience for me. I asked her to just drop it in the mail along with my b-day card that she wanted me to come pick up from her job. (mind you my b-day was in June!) Her excuse is that people never get things she mails to them. I don't understand if why she thinks I am supposed to come & pick up the picture. Isn't she suposed to send the pictures to friends & family? All my other friends send me pictures in the mail, unless they know they are gonna see me. Am I wrong?

NO, you're not wrong. Tell her that you won't get there to pick it up so either mail it to you or tell her to forget about it, or you will get it from her next time you see her. The excuse she used for not mailing stuff it a bunch of crap. Tell her that since transportation is a problem for you that you aren't making a special trip to get it. I can't believe she would expect that from you. You have to be firm with her and tell her that you aren't coming to get it.

just come and take it ! as u see she seems really want you to get it , if you are not so far from her place , if it becomes inconvenient for you then just tell her , invite her to come to see you someday and take the picture with her by the way . Dont express or let her know that you like or dislike . Just act politely to be a good friend and keep your friendship going well .

Well if you don't want to drive, out tell her you don't plan to be in the area. That she can take her chances about sticking them in the mail. Have her drop them off to you if she is being so insisting about it.

No ,your not wrong.When someone gives a gift (picture) they shouldn,t be inconvenienced and expected to pick it up them selves.That,s not very nice at all,it,s bad manners.The same goes for expecting you to pick up your own birthday card.There are better friends around than her,that,s just tacky.

That is a weird excuse coming up to her job and pick them up. WTF? I don't care whether someone sends me pics of them and family or not, they usually send it via postal mail or email (to save on postage).
tell your friend that you don't drive and if she wants to share her pics, send it via email or postal mail.

You are right. She should mail it to you. Just don't go.

maybe she has something at the office she wants to surprise you with-maybe she wants to see you in person for a reason

She is rude. But you shouldnt be and her rudeness is not an excuse for you to be rude, pick them up.
