Neighbor agrees to watch resident's dog for a few hours, only for it to turn into 3 days when the owner refuses to come back in time: ‘I knew you wouldn't mind’

Some people don't deserve favors because they just turn them into free labor the second they get a chance.

We all know at least one person like that. They ask a small favor of you, something easy enough that shouldn't take a lot of time and effort, but as soon as you agree, they manage to turn it into this huge, consuming thing that you probably should have been getting paid for doing. 

There are plenty of ways people can turn a favor into a free service. Some do it by asking a friend to give them a 5-minute drive to the mall, which turns the friend into their private Uber. Others do it by asking a family member to watch their kid for an hour, then turn it into an 8-hour daycare. However they do it, all these people are really doing is pushing their friends and family away from them, and causing anyone who knows them to question whether or not they should do them a favor the next time they ask.

The dog owner below asked her neighbor for a small favor that definitely did not feel like a big deal at first. All the neighbor was asked to do was to watch her dog for a few hours, so the neighbor agreed. After those few hours had passed, the neighbor texted the owner to ask when she was coming back, but was met with a vague timeline and a sense that the dog was going to stay in their care for much longer.

Every time the neighbor asked the owner when she plans to come back, the owner pushed back their return, until this "few hours" favor turned into a 3-day dog-sitting job that the neighbor definitely did not get paid for.

When the owner finally returned, she didn't even apologize or look slightly remorseful for what she put her neighbor through. All she did was give the neighbor a candle as a thank you and went off with her poor dog. Safe to say that the next time she asks for a favor, she won't get it from her next-door neighbor…
