My sister is slowly turning in to my dad. She claims she doesn't like him, but she's fooling herself. As you all know by now, she's poor as shit and never gets any thing new. Last night at T@rget where I was looking for something for me to take on the trip, I found her 3 t-shirts that rang up $2.24 each. I thought surely she could afford $7-8 and would love to have three new shirts. So I got them, I told her to just give me the money for them next time they got paid and had extra cash, no big deal, she has a few new shirts. That's where I went wrong apparently.
Today I came home to an envelope that said "To You for K's shirts" on the front. On the back it read "You, I worked 4 this I just want to say thanks 4 trying to help & get me shirts but please next time dont get the. B/C I didnt know I was going to have to pay 4 them. Thanks though for thinking about me. That was sweet! (heart) K P.S. I will still use the shirts even though there 2 big :)".
I think I broke my jaw after I finished reading this. This is something my DAD would do. He writes "letters" on envelopes and gives them to my mom and us. Inside the envelope was $5. At least I got SOMETHING, however I am still pissed. I never told her to pay me tomorrow, I said whenever you get paid or a chance to spare the bucks to pay me back.
I need to not care so much about other people. One day I will vow to be a heartless bitch and only care about myself.
Sigh.
Needless to say, tonight I only bought clothes for M & I. Heh. It did feel a lil good. I even splurged and paid full price for a pair of new khaki capris. Gasp. That did kinda hurt.

Your sister sounds really ungrateful. She has no idea how lucky she is to have a sister like you.
I think it was really sweet of you to think of her and pick up the shirts. In a way I also see where she is coming from - if she is trying to save money (is she?) then having to pay for something that you didn't necessarily need right then and there might be tough.
