Everybody who knows me knows if they ever really are in need, I'll be there. Basically, I'll give the shirt off of my back.

For years, any time my sister has needed anything, I've been there for her. When she and her ex bought their house, they needed help buying the furnature, I got it for them with the understanding I'd get paid back. Never happened, not a dime. Later on in life, when she got her car repo'd, I was there for her and once again, I was never paid back. When she split with her husband, I'm the one who went and got all of her stuff and stored it until she moved back out of mom's. Then I took it all to her new place. She got on her feet and was doing well, but when she needed to buy a new car, she needed a cosigner. Guess who was there for her yet again? You got it, me.

My sister has been doing really good lately, She has a good job, she pays her bills, and she has a 23 month old daughter. (I so love my niece)

Here's where the fucked up starts. My truck is starting to have problems, so I wanted to trade it in. I saw a vehicle that I really like/want/need. I went to the dealer and gave all of my info, got the value for my trade, and was on my way or so I thought.

Remember me telling you about cosigning for my sisters car? Well it came back to bite me. Not that she hasn't been making payments, she has. The problem arose with the bank. Turns out when cosigned, they put me as the primary and her as the secondary, so it would appear that I am paying on two car loans, even though it would just be the one. The only way to get approved was to have a cosigner.

Are you following so far?

So, for the first time ever, I decided to call in a favor. I thought "No problem, after all I've done for her". Or so I thought. She "had to think about it leaning towards no"!
Are you kidding me? I told her the reason I needed it was because I did the same for her, The bank told them it was because of her car loan., and she hemmed and hawwed and made excuse after excuse,
"I don't think they will because I don't have credit" You have credit, you have been building it up by paying your bills.
"I have a daughter to think of" What does that have to do with it?
"I want to buy a house soon" So? I'll make all of my payments, it will have no effect on your credit for that (credit she claimed to not have earlier) or even make it better!
I just got tired of the excuses so I told her never mind. Just never ask me to do much for you any more.
I know she'll try the whole "Peyton needs" thing to get me to do stuff. Not going to work. I'm fed up. All these years, and I only ever ask for one favor, and get turned down? If she wasn't my sister I'd never talk to her again.

Am I wrong for being pissed?
