Her Friend Went Behind Her Back And Flipped A Profit On The Hats And Scarves She Gives Away For Free Every Winter, So She Doesn’t Want To Make Her A Baby Blanket Now That She Asked
Every year before wintertime, this woman gives up one of her vices– which is usually Starbucks coffee– and decides to do something kind instead.
First, she saves up all of the money she would have normally spent on Starbucks purchases. Then, she buys a bunch of yarn and makes hats and scarves. Finally, she gives them away for free to loved ones and the homeless.
Recently, though, one of her friends asked her for some of the free scarves and hats.
The friend claimed they wanted to use the items as gifts, so she generously gave away ten rainbow hats and scarves.
But, she was disgusted to find out that her friend never gave them away at all. Instead, the friend sold each of the items for twenty dollars a pop.
And the real kicker is how she found out about the little side business.
She had been visiting her friend’s apartment building and saw a woman wearing one of the hats inside.
So, she commented on how great the hat looked on the woman, but then the woman’s response totally shocked her.
“Oh, [friend] makes these! And they are very affordable! I am going to get some more for my family!” the woman said. Yikes.

Now, she is not even angry that her friend sold all of the items. After all, she realizes that she gave the hats and scarves away, so it was ultimately up to her friend what they did with them.
Instead, she is more hurt than anything since she saves up all of her money to spread kindness– not make a profit.
However, she did not confront her friend about the lie until they had the nerve to come back to her asking for even more free items.
“She asked if I had any more, and I told her that I dropped the remaining ones off at a local church. It was true,” she recalled.
“Then, she asked me if I could make a baby blanket for her daughter, and I told her no.”
Her friend was totally shocked at first and asked why she would refuse. But she was completely honest and called her friend out for lying to her and turning a profit behind her back.
Then, the friend apparently went on and on about how they really needed the money. Moreover, since she was not selling them, the friend thought they could.
After hearing that, though, she had had enough. Moreover, she stood firm on her decision not to make her friend a baby blanket.
However, she has since reflected on the situation and is not sure if refusing was the wrong thing to do.
Of course, she is understandably pissed off at her friend now and wants them to know what they did was not okay.
At the same time, though, they have been friends for a really long time.
So, she does not want to be a total jerk and possibly ruin their friendship over a baby blanket.
Do you think her friend owes her an apology first? How would you have reacted in her shoes? Do you think their friendship can be salvaged or not?
