A Sticky Situation: Generosity Meets Grime
In this tale of cookies and conflict, our culinary queen found herself in a messy situation. Her neighbor, ‘J’, had a taste for her treats but not for cleanliness. His habit of returning her dishes dirty and even leaving her home in a state of filth when she was away, led her to cut off her generosity. Despite an apology and a plea for things to go back to the way they were, she’s having none of it. Even her boyfriend’s advice to mend fences didn’t sway her. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation.. ️
