Okay so I already sorta had a mini rant in the game room but I’m still a little shaken about this. I’ll try and make it short.
Some ``friends`` invited us over for dinner, they never had invited us before (the entire family, DH and kids) and I get excited about it. We brought some wine and dessert, arrive there only to have landscaping plans set up on the table ! They wanted to show us their future landscaping projects and would appreciate a good price from us (we are business owners) since we’re ``friends``. This then took over the entire night To make things worse this is the 3rd time this month!!
I would like to go see friends and just have fun without having to work or talk about work. I might be overreacting but I’m hurt and feel used.

We once had a "friend" come over , where he tried to sell us a business scheme....I'm not sure why, but he never came back again

I can sorta see how they thought this was a good idea....Invite Kelly and co over and talk about what we plan to do and see if they'll give us a good price for it....kills 2 birds with one stone...
But all these kind of thigs fail. If you end up giving a price, you feel pressured and if you don't you look like a bad friend...
Short answer : no Long answer : NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Happens to us all the time too, usually if I know a friend has plans to renovate I complain about someone else doing it so they don't even think about it

What a let down. I'd feel a little duped by it.
That's a tough situation.The best things in life...aren't things

That sucks. My DH is an electrician so we get the same thing. He doesn't mind helping a friend out here or there, but it really bothers him when people try to take advantage.
The worst is when he does give a friend a deal and then they tell a friend of theirs (who we don't know) to call him cause he'll give them a great deal. Very frustrating.
