Con's: being hounded by my aunt to drive her and my cousin all over the place because she is a manipulative, free-loading, disgrace of a person who has literally gone out of her way to say I am not being a good niece because I don't want to drive her all over the place.
I wish I was exaggerating but after two splendid days at New York Comic Con with my friend Heather I woke up today to a litany of texts from my aunt (who I've been avoiding since my car purchase) asking me to drive my cousin Michelle to a Girl Scouts meeting in a town I have never driven to.
Unfortunately, while I have had only had my car for about 3 weeks my aunt has asked me almost every day to either drive her to work, pick Michelle up from places I've never been too or help her run errands. I have ignored all of these requests because my aunt has a proven record of using people. This doesn't mean that I do not feel a little guilty for not being their unpaid cab driver but I don't want to get into a habit of picking her up occasionally that she grows to believe she can also rely on me for a free ride.
While I was at Comic Con yesterday she sent me a nasty text accusing me of avoiding her. When I told her I was busy, she said she's been dying to see my car since I got it and that I make her so sick for denying her this! I then wake up today with a text from asking me to drive Michelle to some Girl Scout Meeting this afternoon.
I am livid. I am pissed. I love my Blackberry but I never thought having a car would come with this awful responsibility of informing people that you are not a cab driver and that they will have to make do as they have in the past without a car. I am so mayad. I can't even process my anger.
Comic Con however was very fun and I got so much free swag, i have to go through most of it like I used to go through candy stashes as a kid.
