I was annoyed at this behaviour, what do you think?

A colleague's car was being repaired so they asked for a lift to a staff function. At the start I had to go about 15 minutes out of my way to collect her which was ok as it was sort of on the way. At the end of the evening they shut down the bar and stopped playing music so I went over and said that I wanted to leave. She said she's just say goodbye to a couple of people and then would leave so I went and waited in the car. Fifteen minutes later she's still not there so I went back in only to have her say that she had decided to go on to somewhere else and didn't need a life home. Then the following day she starts this nonsense saying that I was so mean to her that she had to catch a taxi home. I was so furious, I didn't expect gratitude, although she was the one who asked me for a favour, but I did expect common courtesy.

I think I would be cross if this happened to me. However try not to let it upset you. You did nothing wrong and she is probably only saying that to make herself look better. Your true friends know who is telling the truth so forget about her, and don't get yourself down about it.

Thanks. I'm not down about it. I think her rudeness was bad enough but then saying things like that well it was just adding insult to injury.

That sounds about like what I have been through. You go out of your way to help someone out and then when you do, they still put you out of your way by not being nice enough to grant your wish when you was ready to leave. They have no respect for the person that just helped them. It is almost like they expect it from you, but they do not return it. then they have nerve enough to try and make you look like the bad person in the whole thing. That makes me sick when we are only trying to help these people. I would have been furious also because she is to lame to give you respect. You have every right to be upset about it.

Sounds to me she just made you look bad. I wouldn't worry about her.

That isn't right.I would confront her about it. Make her feel bad for makin you look bad. She is in the wrong and you need to correct it or she will continue to do it.

I'm not going to confront her about it. We still have to work at the same place and I hate negative vibes at work not to mention that may then drag others into it. I'm just going to completely ignore her unless I have to work directly with her.
