Something I've Learned

It's kind of awkward when someone offers to help you with something, and they don't do it. Then you're put in the position of either foregoing the help that you never would have wanted, had they not mentioned it, but since they did mention, now you do want...OR...finding a way of asking them about it without feeling totally rude. Do you ask for status like you're at work? Do you passive-aggressively make some comment? So far, in two instances where this has happened, I've basically not said anything. Well, in the first instance I said something about when can you send, or something like that? And they said, Oh, I thought I did that; I'll do it. Never done. Then the other one, I haven't heard anything yet, and am debating whether or not to send an email. So far I haven't done anything. I appreciate the gesture of wanting to help me, but it's a pet peeve, kind of, when people don't follow through.
