I'm really fed up with my best friend, and she at me.

She always asks at the last second, literally as she's leaving, to take care of her cat, and I agree because why not, she's my best friend and I'd do anything for her. I was spending the night on Friday and I was looking for something to eat, and her fridge was chalk full of spoiled food. She had cheese that was so moldy you couldn't tell it was cheese without the wrapper. She had eggs that expired two months ago. Her fruit was covered in mold. She had leftovers from a date over a week old. So I messaged her that I would clean out her fridge and she said "Oh thank you" (or whatever she said along those lines.) So I went through her fridge and looked at every label and tossed out all the bad food and put everything in the garbage bin. The first night I was over, I scooped out a weeks worth of cat poop that she had left behind for her trip and asked when to take out the garbage bins. The bare minimum to me was just to feed her cat, and I did. After the first night of spending the night, I only came in the mornings and evenings to feed her cat. I figured that she would be home to put the cans out and the litter box wouldn't need scooping every single day. She also got mad at me when I kept updating her when all she wants to know is if something happened to her cat.

Well, while I was at work I received a scathing text message saying I tossed out all her food and that I didn't bother to scoop the poop or put out the bins and that we needed to have a serious talk. WTF? Okay, I can understand the miscommunication of putting out the garbage bins because she DID say Tuesday which was her coming home, but I did scoop the poop the first night and I doubt in two days it would be all that bad, and I DID tell her I got rid of all her spoiled food.

I'm P.O.'d right now and I don't want to talk to her, and I certainly don't want to house sit for her again.

This is why, no matter how much you may feel like, helping out, if someone asks you to only feed the cat. Stick to that and let them deal with their own mess.
Sorry to hear your in this situation, but don't let her get you down about it.

Your friend is being very ungrateful. When you've calmed down can you have a heart-to-heart with her? You need to clear the air and since she doesn't understand the word gratitude let her take care of her own blasted cat in future.

Thanks for this!

Her house is always a mess...when she comes over she leaves dishes, glasses, and food/candy wrappers laying around instead of putting them in the sink or garbage...when she comes over she raids my fridge/pantries/food on the table without asking first...and when she comes over she spends the whole night on her phone. It is so irritating.
