how embarassing

Post Reply New Topic

A friend and I (we are both aspie) have been doing gardening for my step-brothers mum I know her quite well and when she isn't there she tells us to help ourselves to stuff in the fridge etc. Today it was raining so we didn't get much work done she has a spa bath and we really wanted to try it out it seemed really cool but we were too embarrassed to ask her so we decided to give it a go. Anyway my friend put a bit too much bubble bath and it bubbled up like crazy. Once we got out we tried to clean it up so it looked presentable, however we talked to her later on and she had obviously busted us oh oh how embarrassing. She was saying we should have told her and stuff and that is totally fair enough but I still felt embarrassed. I also don't know how to handle it with her because the job is important to me more important than it is to my friend.

You should apologize for using her spa bath without permission. From what you say she only gave you permission "to help yourself" to what is in the fridge. Her spa bath should have remained off limits. The good thing is you cleaned up though. But you need to have a talk with your friend as well if he does not take your job seriously.

Apologizing is the proper thing to do. But do not feel too guilty about it, when you apologized properly.

Saying to your friend that your job is important would also be good to do, but that can take some courage. But it makes things clear between you, when you do not tell it can lead to frustration and that would not be good for your friendship.
