Anyone afraid to accept a favor from someone who has gotten mad at you in the past after they had offered to do something for you, especially in a group setting? I know one person, who after offering to take our fellowship group to burger king, got mad at me for having to buy a burger for me even though she was going to just going to buy the whole group coke or water and any food we got we had to buy ourselves, which was fine. For some reason she still paid for my order even though I was going to pay myself. She clearly didn't have to do that and found it unnecessary to get mad after offering. And it was in public which was more embarrassing. Still don't know exactly what went wrong there to this day.

Other times, I've had friends that would offer a ride or something else to me or someone else and when the offer was accepted, the friend making the offer got mad. It is as if who ever she offered the favor to was supposed to say no thanks or something. Anyone know why some people do that? I feel like if someone doesn't want to do something, they shouldn't offer. Also I've seen coworkers offer favors and then secretly get mad once someone accepts the favor. Do you become afraid to accept favors from people after this has happened? Do you reject favors more in order to prevent this? I generally decline favors, especially if it is from someone who has gotten mad at me in the past after offering a favor. It is as if I was supposed to say no or something. Almost like a mind game or something.
