Brother Versus Sister
My roommate, Pete has been having troubles with his sister, who keeps trying to con him out of money. Over MSN she wound up telling me how she thought that Pete was irresponsible with his money, that he had a $250 phone bill to deal with, and that she thought that in the long run she was doing better with her finances than he was.
Me, being the naughty little helper that I am, I emailed this conversation to Pete; Pete reads the email and freaks out: he is tired of her guilt-tripping him for money and he's outraged that she would even dare suggest that he's got financial issues in comparison to her (and this I can defend personally because I live with the guy -- he's not bad at keeping his money so long as she's not swindling it out of him). He freaked out about how the $250 is from a trip she took to China -- it's her phone bill that she wants him to pay. As if that wasn't bad enough, she wants him to pay $1000 for a new house-key, since he recently lost his.
There is a point to this....
Anyway.. Pete half-ass lives with his sister, and he's been looking for a justifiable way to tell her off so that he can move out without her on his case about it. I think.. that I accidentally provided that reason. I have a feeling that his sister will never talk to me again.. and it's a shame because we were just starting to be friendly to each other again, before I did this and probably fucked that up.
I told him because I thought.. for some reason, that he might as well know what she's saying about him.
My question is, do you think that I should have just minded my own business?
