Imagine this…
Someone’s wife asked you a favor to bring a baby bath tub, changing table and cot from Holland Village to Serangoon. Because the items are meant for a dear friend of yours, you agreed to help. When you got there, you realized that the baby cot and changing table is not dismantled and thus, it cannot fit into the car.
Annoying right?! Shouldn’t it be obvious to that someone’s wife that if anyone were to help out they will assume that those items can fit in a car or taxi unless specifically mentioned otherwise?
Well, because of that someone’s wife, we got into a heated argument. It is just too painful for Vin to see Sel being treated as such. He insists that if it is not part of her job scope she should reject the task. In Sel’s defense, she is not doing it for that someone's wife but rather for her dear friend.
About a week went by…
We are still feeling sore about the above. Having said so, Sel felt a responsibility to update on the status because she had already agreed to the task. So she emailed that someone “As I realized that the items can’t fit into a car. Thus, I will need to arrange for another form of transportation. Will let you know when”. Guess what that someone replied? Instead of apologizing for having wasted a trip to Holland Village for nothing, he replied “Please don't leave that baby stuff there too long as it is taking up a lot of space. Are you taking it for yourself or for your dear friend?”
Urgh!!!
What’s worse?
Dear friend was embarrassed by the incident. She was not even keen with the items. Nevertheless, she was being polite so she had agreed and offered to arrange for the delivery company to pick it up. However, that someone’s wife had assured her that she will take care of the transportation. When she say that “she will take care of the transportation”, she meant Sel will take care of the transportation.
URGH!!!!!
