Why does this bother me?

One of my "fans" on my FB is a cousin of my bff.

Everything I post she wants the recipe to. And if I don't answer her, she emails me and asks for the recipe. Last time she even offered to pay me for my recipe.

I think I am still angry with from the last email. She wrote and said "Sorry about the loss of your grandma. Is there any way you can send me the recipe for  _____. (I don't remember what it was).

And when I didnt send it, she emailed me 3 days later and all the email said was "Recipe?"

I dont have a problem sharing recipes/secrets/tips, but man, she is so annoying about it.

Re: Why does this bother me?

  • You're too nice.  Next time just give her a link

    haha I saw another nestie do this on another board and I LOL'd

  • Wow, how pushy and rude!!  You're awful nice for sharing anyhow.  It's not like she'd go in to someplace like Wixey's and ask for their recipes, would she??!   wtf?

    I'm with LT, I wouldn't be as nice next time, but obviously do it without being too rude b/c you still want a good business image. :):)

  • Orrrr, perhaps another one of your 'fans' could comment back with something to the effect of "We can't expect her to share all of her secrets!" or something like that.....     ;)

  • So what are you saying Merin... You'll do my dirty work?

    I've already given her so many recipes. I ignored the last request, you'd think she get the hint by now.

     

  • Sorry, that's definitely annoying...  ugh.  Love the link idea, though, lol. 

    This is not really related but is this a fan page for your business?  If so, can I be a fan???  I've been thinking about recruiting your services for a few things lately - I think I'm the only person here who hasn't sampled anything.  Stick out tongue

  • I know exactly how you feel, I had my cousin's cousin emailing me constantly for awhile asking me a billion questions about the photos on my fan page, like oh what were your settings for that photo, and what lens did you use for that. Normally I have no problem answering those questions, but she would ask then she would try and copy exactly what I did with the same settings and didn't understand why it wasn't working for her (I found out later she actually has a business but obviously didn't know what she is doing). It got really old after awhile so I sent her some links to sites so she could teach herself how to use her camera, I never heard from her again after that.

    Yes. Look it up on FB - How Sweet It Is. We are not friends on FB, or else I would just send you a suggestion to like it. LOL.

  • I'm sure you have all seen my postings of my cake balls, I've gone cake ball crack this year and actually sold some of them, unexpected, but hey, I love doing it so why not sell them.

    I had a bunch of my FB friends email me for the "recipe"  After the 3rd time I stopped responding.  Or just emailed them the link to Bakerella.  And then I had the same person send me 3 messages asking me why mine look so good and hers didn't and what was I doing to get them so smooth.  Gah!!!

    I will say, I didn't know you were selling them. I saw the pictures and asked for the recipe and never heard anything until you sent me the like link to your business. Sorry about that! Seriously didn't know... just thought it was something fun you were doing!

  • Stephanie, I wasn't talking about you, LOL.  I don't mind giving people the Bakerella site.  I posted a link to the recipe right on the photo album because I had so many requests.

    I just had someone I know email me 5 times in one day over it because she wanted step by step instructions on exactly what I do because hers did not turn out like mine.

    Angi... I had to go look at your FB page is she the one that comments on all of your posts? Granted, I was looking for it but it annoyed me too.
