A woman who inherits an average house from her parents retaliates when her friend gets arrogant and tells the storekeeper that she inherited it. When she goes on to say how she could afford to buy, the woman feels it fitting to put her in her place.
A Gift from Her Parents
The woman’s friend and husband were bought a townhouse by her parents. It is a beautiful house, and the woman feels that she’s really lucky to have been given such an amazing gift.
She Helps Out Where She Can
The woman has been supportive of her friend and helped out with moving and decorating. There’s no jealousy at all, and she’s happy to see her friend excited about their new venture.
She Pulled the Short Straw
While the woman is grateful to have inherited a house from her own parents, it isn’t anywhere near as lavish as her friend’s house. She appreciates that her friend’s parents are wealthy so they can afford it. Her own house is three-bed and out in the sticks which isn’t ideal.
Needs Modernizing
As the inherited house is very old, much of it needs modernizing with new wallpaper, carpets, and furniture. She asks her friend if she’ll visit a store with her to pick up a few household items to get her started.
A Casual Conversation
In the store with her friend, the woman starts talking to a sales assistant who makes chit-chat about her living situation. They ask if she’s rented or bought, and for ease of conversation, the woman says that she’s bought the house.
She Isn’t a Snob
She realizes that she hasn’t told the exact truth but has simply said it to make the conversation flow. It’s also less awkward than saying she inherited as they might assume she’s lost her parents, which she hasn’t. She doesn’t feel it snobbish to admit to having inherited a house, however.
An Awkward Interception
The conversation continues, and the woman is shocked when her friend interrupts saying, “Actually, you inherited that house. You didn’t buy it at all!” The woman pulls a face at her friend that says, what’s that about then?
She Turns Her Back
Slightly put out at her friend’s bizarre comment, the woman turns her back on her friend and returns to the previous conversation about kettles and toasters with the store assistant.
She Pushes Back In
To her surprise, her friend pushes her way back into the conversation, steps in front of her, and says to the assistant, “I, on the other hand, purchased my house!” She can’t believe she’s hearing this!
A Tense Atmosphere
The woman cuts in at this point, saying, “Does it really matter?!” She tells her friend, ” I’m here to buy some kitchen appliances, not tell this guy my personal issues.” The store assistant looks uncomfortable.
She Won’t Let It Go
Her friend grins at her and says, “It’s just for the record, that’s all!” Having never known her friend behave this way, the woman becomes both confused and annoyed.
Things Turn Sour
The woman realizes she can just walk away at this point, but she’s so rattled by her friend’s newfound snobbery that she can’t help herself. “Oh! Okay then, if it’s just for the record, your parents purchased your house for you!”
They Go Their Separate Ways
The comment is sufficient to cause tension. The store assistant retreats and busies himself with something else. Her friend, on the other hand, shakes her head and goes outside.
She Feels Embarrassed
When the woman follows her friend outside and asks what’s wrong, her friend says that she’s completely out of order for showing her up in the store. She’s beyond furious that she rudely pointed out that she couldn’t afford to buy her own house.
A Reality Check
The woman looks at her friend and says, “Hang on, you started it by correcting me and telling that guy that I’d inherited my house!” She decides that she isn’t prepared to go down without redressing the balance.
She Says She Was Just Being Honest
Her friend huffs and puffs before saying, “No! You said you bought your house which you didn’t! I just corrected you, that’s all!” The woman can’t understand how her friend is failing to see the reality behind the incident.
Throwing It in Her Face
Feeling more angered by the second, the woman says, “And I simply corrected YOU when you said that you’d bought your house when, in fact, your parents bought it for you!”
Stony Silence
On the way home, they barely speak to each other. The woman is still infuriated at her friend’s crazy logic! Eventually, she tries to break the ice by saying, “Look, my folks helped me out with getting a house too, just in a really terrible way!” Her efforts to make her friend laugh are met with silence.
Mixed Opinions
When the woman discussed the incident with her husband, he felt that her friend was completely in the wrong and instigated the whole thing. Their mutual friends, on the other hand, are split 50/50 over whose fault it was.
