A Bad Experience

Let me share with you a bad experience I had recently. News was out last week that tickets for Jay Chou concert be released on 14 Apr 10. After posting this piece of news on my FB, I started receiving orders for friends wanting to go with me to the concert as they knew I be going to buy the tickets. I personally don't mind helping friends especially it's more fun to go with friends. However, I am scared of friends who cannot make up their mind and also try get you to help their friends buy tickets as well. My recent experience involved a friend whom I think is quite a pain. I didn't tell her that I be buying tickets & she didn't have access to FB. Suddenly, she sent me an sms asking I'll be buying tickets and if she can join us. I really don't mind if she seriously wanna join us. Firstly, she took a longer time than the rest to decide if she is ok with the price range we watching. Secondly, when I was buying tickets and the counter informed me that the price we wanted were sold out and we had to go for the lower range, I called her and she decided last minute not to watch. To make things worse, she tried to ask me to get another 5 tickets for her friends. What kind of crap is this? She is not even my close friend. I probably only had lunch with her for less than 10 times. Because of her change in decision, it affected the seats that I got for mine. Thirdly, she immediately sms me when she realized that there is an additional show hoping that I've not gotten my tickets and help her again. I am a helpful person but I realized that I should only help people who deserves my help. I also learnt that if you asked people for help, you shouldn't give people so much problems. Everyone should know their limits. Don't push your luck. As for this girl, I think she is going to be out of my friends' list for good. I think she tried too hard to take advantage of my goodwill.
