Tell me if I am wrong here
So a couple of years ago one of my really good friends gave me and C a TV. She gave it to us because her ex-boyfriend bought it for her and she no longer wanted/needed it because new boyfriend was moving in. (We are no longer friends and don't even talk when we are together with mutual friends).
Well about 2 months ago a friend of mine posted on FB that she was looking for a TV so I thought I would be kind and give her the one that was given to us since we replaced it at the beginning of the year. When ex-friend seen the post she immediatly text me asking if I was talking about the TV she let me "barrow." I told her yes; she then asked for it back and I told her it was no problem. Well she has contacted me couple of times about bringing it to work and she would make arrangments to get it from my car to her's. I never agreed to bring it to work with me; I feel like if she wants it bad enought she can come get it-I mainly fill this way because I live in the same town as her parents and after her being at her parents all day one Sunday she text me and ask me to bring it to work and I told her no; I didn't have time to mess with it. Well, I get an e-mail today from her asking me if I could bring it tomorrow and I told her no I was going to be out the rest of the week but if she came to town soon I would meet up with her to give it back. She said no but thanks though.
It really just irritates me that she wants ME to bring it to work when she is in my town all the time and she can get some time she is in town. It also makes me mad that she gave it to me and now says she let me barrow it.
Am I being irrational thinking she can come get it herself? I mean if she has something that I let her "barrow" or gave her and wanted it back I would be going to her house myself to get it.
Re: Tell me if I am wrong here
I am at odds as to why she wants a t.v. that she gave to you years ago.
Nevertheless, I don't think you are being irrational. If she wants the television she can make a way to get it. I would be kind and brief via text and state, "Hi, kind of hard for me to bring the t.v. to you, you are more than welcome to meet me at my home on a designated day to pick up. Talk to you soon!"
Is it a big TV? If so, I can see not wanting to load it and transport it.
However, you have benefited from her letting you use the TV up until you bought your new one. If she wants it back, fine...I don't see a problem with her taking it back. I have a feeling she's so adamant that you borrowed it because she is probably bitter about you two not talking much anymore.
If you can help her out and it won't inconvenience you terribly, do it. A free TV for however long you used it was nice of her, whether or not she is currently being rude over what the terms were regarding borrowing/giving/taking it back.
