I HATE being told what to do. I especially hate it when someone asks me for a favor, and when it doesn't get done to their satisfaction, they give me attitude. It's a FAVOR. I don't OWE YOU ANYTHING.
Sometimes, I don't do the favor. Sometimes, I don't do it BECAUSE I HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO IT YET. Sometimes, it might be because I simply forgot.
But what really ticks me off is getting a snotty, obnoxious, holier-than-thou email when the favor hasn't been done:
"Link to Fundraiser For Kids
- did you not get that, or did you just ignore me? Again, I would be very appreciative if you could mention it in your blog. It is not for my ego, but for poor kids. "
ALRIGHT ALREADY!!!! I linked to your fundraiser. Happy?! Sorry I didn't expedite it to your satisfaction yesterday, when you FIRST told me about it. You had to wait an ENTIRE 24 hours for me to link it. I'll even link it HERE. And HERE. And what about HERE?!
And do NOT ever write me a nasty-gram like that again. Just because you're tall, and strong, and lean, and a dear friend of mine, doesn't mean I won't come to your apartment and KICK YOUR ASS.
By the way, this is really a great cause, and if you could donate even a little, it would go a long way.
Here's the link again: https://get-together.org/index.php?lc=bc28af6f750004729474ccbb403bd0ee

You didn't mention the immediate phone call you got when I learned my firm was hiring an associate.
