13028251, Am I petty?
Posted by lightworks, Tue May-31-16 01:12 PM
My homegirl is trying to send her son to 2 college tours and I think a conference and last month she put up a gofundme link on Facebook and no one donated (sad but people got bills I guess)
Then I (and literally 60 other people) get added to a group (via FB messenger in support of this effort last night and she said "only $700 to go! PayPal me or send me a check". She added some really nice words about her son and how he was looking forward to this.
Some people have donated and that's good but I'm so annoyed you added me involuntarily to a group that I have no desire to donate.
Especially when she keeps sending updates like "$400 to go!"
So am I petty or nah?

13028256, that's almost as obnoxious as adults selling their child's candy.

at least with the candy sale there's a 75% chance i'll get some nasty candy in 4 months.

13028257, Eh...it's not petty until you actually do something in response.

Like leave that group and block her on FB, or uninvite her to an event you were planning, or respond to the group sarcastically, or make a public post on FB dropping subliminal disses, etc.
It ain't petty if you just feel a certain way about it but haven't done anything.

It's plenty of money to be made

It's plenty of room to get paid
for those that ain't scared

13028261, But you didn't do anything. Is this like passive pettiness?

13028270, petty is thousands of dollars in disposable income and not helping

like if you have $6000 just chilling after bills and dont give $20 for a kid's college tour, that's borderline petty
but not donating (especially to strangers)? I've maybe only contributed to 2 or 3 crowd funding campaigns ever and I've come across tons of them
