The company I work for is sort of going bankrupt. We don't expect the business to last another year, and even 6 months is questionable. Nowadays everyone is doing things that are not directly related to their work descriptions, and we tolerate it because we don't have customers/source materials to actually do our job. The other option is quitting and no one is willing to lose their jobs yet.

I am also one of those who is suffering from it. I join meetings that our manager says the same thing ten thousand times. A meeting that could end in 10 minutes is extended to 5 to 6 hours, to the point I feel numb in my brain hearing the same things over and over again every day. Sudden meetings on Sunday after 9 pm, and we join it. Leaving work after 7 pm, we tolerate it. But I feel exhausted, stressed, and my brain stops working by the end of the day.

Now the more painful part is, we are all asked to create a business account on a platform. It is not quite my responsibility to make everyone sign up but I was asked to make a colleague sign up as well. Let's call her Mary (mid 30s). She has been working with us for over 3 years. She is familiar with computers, as her job is all on the computers. She works remotely and does everything on the computer. So it is not like electronics are something she is not familiar with.

I sent her a link and asked her to sign up. But she asks everything, and I meant it in its literal sense.

She sees the link with a giant "Sign up" button on top and she asks, "Where do I sign up here?"

I show her the sign up button.

She asks, "It asks for my name. Do I put my government name?"

I say yes.

She asks, "What password should I use?"

I say whatever she wants and she shouldn't share it with me.

She asks, "Okay there is a 'confirm' button. Do I complete signing up here?"

I say yes.

She says, "It doesn't confirm. Did I do something wrong, I wonder?"

I ask "Does it give you any reason why?"

She sends a screenshot. It says "Profile picture is required" on the screen.

I point out to it. "You need an avatar, it says there."

She asks, "What should I use as my avatar?"

I say, "Idk, if you don't want to use your picture, anything generic would be fine."

She asks, "Like what?"

I did this sort of "training" with her for a whole week.

Yesterday was the last straw. Apparently she received a message in her inbox but she wasn't aware. I was asked to tell her to answer it. She says, "Where do I see it?" with a screenshot that has a giant "1" on the message box symbol on top.

I point it out.

She asks, "Do I tap on 'Show the request' to see it?" (Literally)

I want her to figure obvious things out herself by now. I say, "I don't know, there doesn't seem like any other option."

She sends a screenshot of the message and asks, "It says either 'Accept' or 'Ignore' but it doesn't show me where I can reply to the message. Interesting..."

I couldn't be patient anymore and went with a text such as, "Ms. X, don't get me wrong but you don't need my approval for every click you perform. Of course accept the message and you'll see the option to reply. In general also, you don't need to ask me for every step. Nothing horrible would happen."

I was extremely infuriated but I tried to keep my text as calm as possible.

She went with something like, "I don't get you wrong, I am merely asking because I don't know and I don't want to do something wrong. All I ask is your assistance. Clearly you are nervous, we'll talk later. I don't want to do something wrong."

I just said "Please accept the message and reply."

And she said "Okay, done".

We haven't exchanged texts since and I refuse to "assist" her anymore.

I visited a friend whom I used to consider a close friend over a weekend to deliver a package. I was only going to drop the package and leave but she kept me talking and asked me questions about a mutual friend. with the gossip going on we sat on the dining table. There were quite a few snacks lying on the table, like at least 20 packages of snacks casually lied there.

During our conversation she grabbed one of them, opened the package and started eating it. She didn't tell me to have one but I didn't think it would be a big deal and the way she ate it made me want to have something sweet too. So while talking I also grabbed a snack. I was speaking so I didn't open it right away but it was in my hands for a few sentences. When I opened it, she suddenly grabbed all the snacks on the table and took the one I was holding, the one I just opened, and put them all in the drawer.

I was a tad shocked honestly and didn't know how to react. I kept talking to her until our conversation ended and I left afterwards without talking about it. But it just stuck with me for a while. I didn't talk to her again after that conversation. Tbh both because i didn't know how to react in the moment and also because i didn't know how to bring it up later.

This was 2 months ago. This morning she visited my flat to talk to my roommate. At that moment I was having breakfast. She casually said hi and I greeted back, fake smile and all that. Later on, my roommate came to the kitchen and my friend followed her. Then she sat on the table. She took the knife and took some nutella out of the jar and put it on the pancake. (I was having breakfast alone and nothing was my roommate's.) Although it's been 2 months and we never spoke of what happened there, it may have come off a bit awkward but I quickly grabbed everything on the table and put them in the fridge, including the pancake that she intended to eat, and walked to my room.

Now my roommate doesn't know the context so she thought what i did was extremely rude. I just wanted to give her a teste of her own medicine. AITAH?

Now, my friend lives in a better financial freedom than me. He comes from a rich family as his father owns a good portion of a local company, and he never had to work a day in his life despite nearing his 30. He lived in expensive countries for a few months each just because he wanted a change while I can barely afford a week holiday. His family gets to afford a lot of luxury stuff that me or my family can't.

Despite this, whenever he visits me, within 10 minutes he goes to the kitchen during our conversations as if he was going to grab some water and while checking my fridge, he brings out stuff and starts eating on my dining table. And honestly, it's not even a snack portion. He literally fully fills his stomach. Last night he ate the leftovers that I saved for today so I wouldn't have to cook until tonight. He ate the whole day's food in one sitting.

When it happened first few times I found it awkward but ignored because we are close friends for years, long enough to open each other's fridges without asking. But it has been a continuous thing going on for a few weeks now. Every single time. I don't really go to his kitchen when I'm at his place nor do I eat anything so casually unless I'm offered. I joked a few times about his starvation and we laughed about it but I start to feel really awkward about this "habit"
