When Lena agrees to drive her neighbor Karen’s daughter, Emily, to school as a one-time favor, she never expects it to become a daily routine. But Karen’s requests turn into a constant expectation, and when Lena asks her to return the favor, Karen lies, claiming her car is “too full” to take Lena’s daughter, Sophie. Frustrated, Lena decides to teach Karen a lesson.
The next day, Lena agrees to take Emily again but makes an extra stop at Sophie’s favorite donut shop, taking her time and ensuring they’ll be late. By the time they arrive, Karen is furious, waiting for Lena with a forced smile and a curt reprimand. Lena simply suggests that Karen might take Emily herself next time.
The tactic works. Karen stops asking Lena for rides, now taking Emily herself, and avoids Lena out of embarrassment. Lena realizes that being a good neighbor doesn’t mean being a doormat — sometimes you have to stand up for yourself.

Finally I became so exhausted that I just keeled over with a heart attack and di ed.
