Entitlement over basic sh**

So, I’m currently in my broke girl era, living in a bedsitter where maji hupotea worst times. One night, Maji ilipotea, and Ipanicking because I have work in the morning. So, I call my neighbor...this guy who lives in a one-bedroom and ask if they have water I can borrow real quick. He’s like, “No worries, just come shower at my place in the morning.” Cool, bet.

Next morning, I showered, said thank you, and went about my day. In the evening, I’m coming home from work, and this guy calls me, asking if we have water now. I tell him, “Nah, we’re good, Maji imerudi.” Then he goes, “Why don’t you just come spend the night at my place?” And I’m like, “Uhhh, no, I’m good", juu it's pretty much obvious what I would be signing up for.

And this man lost it. Starts saying how I’m the type of person who only reaches out when I need help. Siiiir! And that’s how I lost a neighbor over Maji. Maji, guys. WATER. He hasn’t spoken to me since. But I’m here wondering how basic human kindness turned into a transactional arrangement? Like, unataka kunikula juu ya Maji, MAJI😅 Why can’t you help someone without trying to finesse them?
