    Default Is this abnormal or kinda immature?

    This situation is from a while ago, but I was wondering what you guys think about it(something reminded me of it)...

    I had a dancer friend who didn't always have the best street smarts or logic. I wrote about her before...she had the pimpish boyfriend who would dominate her money and move his deadbeat sisters into their 1bedroom apartment. She kept telling everyone around the club on multiple occasions about how she was "finally" done with dancing and that she was going to become a supermodel and a soap opera actress, just to end up returning to work a month later(just in time for her rent deadline) because she couldn't make it as a supermodel. She wanted a baby during a time that she couldn't keep up with rent and wasn't able to care for her pet dog. Just to remind you of who she is.

    Anyway, she was around 25 years old and still didn't have a driver's license. Now that's not so bad, since I understand that some people are scared of driving(she was) or live in big cities where it's impractical to drive. Well she DID live in a city where mass transit was available, but she never took that either. And her neighborhood's not dangerous for taking mass transit. Instead, she would always bum rides from her parents(she didn't live with them) or friends. Sometimes she would take a cab, which I think is ridiculous to pay that kinda expense when you can take the bus or even maintain a car for cheaper. When we would go to places in the city, she INSISTED on being driven there through traffic instead of taking the subway, which would have taken 1/3 the commute time...even when there was a group of us. At work, I was usually the "lucky girl" who ended up giving her a ride home every night from work and then get belittled later by the house moms about how subservient I was to keep giving rides.

    Is this strange? Back when I got annoyed with giving her rides and vented to my friend M--k about it, he snickered meanly and said that it was "pathetic" that she was 25 and didn't know how to drive OR take a bus. He said that the only kid he ever knew who didn't know how to do one of those things was a 15-yr-old who lived in the suburbs where mass transit wasn't available. Now that's considering that M--k is never mean, gossipy, or insulting to ANYONE, but even he laughed at her for it. What do you guys think? Think it was about time that she'd stop depending on me for rides?

    Sounds delusional.

    Quitting stripping when the rent is due in order to become a supermodel at age 25, in a business that classifies 21 as "old to start"? Doesn't exactly happen so easily.

    Hmmm scared of the unknown. Sounds a lot like me to be perfectly honest! I'd much rather be in a friend's car than a bus by myself, 99 times out of 100, even if it takes me a little longer. But I'm sorely lacking in survival skills so you proooobably shouldn't use me as an example!

    ^ Delusional? LOL I agree.

    She had a lot of delusional, rather immature ideas. She threw up the "I'm gonna be a model" line a lot while at work. Let us also not forget the time she went around work telling customers that she can't drink because she might be pregnant(before she took a damn pregnancy test), and that she was hoping for a baby girl...meanwhile, she was in the process of giving up her dog for adoption because she couldn't handle taking care of it anymore(she'd had it for less than 2 months!).

    I think these delusional ideas exhibit immaturity...which I think is where her dependency on others for rides comes from. Yeah navigating through city on a bus route or learning how to drive can be scary experiences at first, but they're not exactly rocket science or nuclear warfare, if you know what I mean.

    Understandable. But if you were strapped for cash or your friend wasn't around to give you a ride, you would take the bus, wouldn't you? I mean, this girl would use rent money for a cab or else she would try to ask me for a ride even if it meant drastically inconveniencing me.
