Folks…this is a weird one.

We encounter a lot of stories that make us scratch our heads, but this is wild!

A woman who did her friend a HUGE favor got a big surprise when her friend hit her with a wild request…

And we think you’re gonna be shocked.

Get all the details below, and see what you think.

AITA for refusing to pay my “house sitter”?

“A few weeks ago I (30F) caught up with a good friend of mine, Jen (30F).

She was telling me about how much of a nightmare her new landlady was.

Oh, my!

She would enter Jen’s room without knocking. She timed her showers and tried to charge her extra for showers over 5 minutes.

Most recently she installed cameras in the kitchen and living areas and uses them to watch/eavesdrop on the housemates while she’s away.

Jen said that she had a new place lined up, but had to wait because the room wasn’t available for another month.

My husband and I just happened to have an upcoming week long trip planned.

Well, that’s nice…

I told Jen that if she wanted a break from the nightmare situation, she was welcome to stay at our place while we’re away for the week.

She gladly accepted.

So she arrives on the day we leave. I give her a key, tell her the fridge is full of wine and to help herself to anything in the kitchen. I showed her how to get onto all our streaming services, and said if she wanted to have a friend over she was welcome to.

I trusted her judgment. I told her to have a good time, and we left.

Excuse me?!?!

We just got back yesterday. A few wine bottles had been opened and finished as expected. The kitchen and floor was a bit of a mess, but overall everything was fine.

I later got a call from Jen asking when I would be transferring her the money for house sitting.

I kind of didn’t know what to say and paused awkwardly.

I said that I thought we were doing her a favor by getting her time away from her house.

This is something that should’ve been discussed before they left.

She told me that her time wasn’t free, and had expected I’d be paying her something like $500 for the week.

I ended the call saying that I’d think about the amount we’d pay her.

I’m not sure, but this seems like a bit of a crazy request?

This is crazy!

I have no pets to feed, no plants to water, and she didn’t need to do any housework. I even live like 30 minutes closer to her work, so it even saved her an hour of day in travel.

And she wasn’t stuck in the house, she was free to come and go as she wanted. Had I not known about her issue with the landlady I would have just left the house vacant for the week.

I texted her this morning mentioning the points above, and didn’t think it was reasonable that I pay her for what was essentially a break for her.

But her friend sees it differently.

She’s furious now saying that she was depending on having that money.

I want your perspective.

AITA for refusing to pay for her for staying at my house?”

Her friend is nuts!

This has to be one of the most tone-deaf things I’ve ever heard in my life.

Good grief!

I have a feeling that these two aren’t going to be friends much longer…
