Yeah, it's easy to do someone a favor when it's simple, when it doesn't take much effort, and you're just trying to help. But it's all fun and games until something goes wrong, and you're the one held responsible for it.

You signed, you're responsible. It may not feel fair, but that's how it works. You took on that responsibility the moment you said yes. That's why we should think carefully before agreeing to help, no matter how easy it may seem and how good our intentions are. Good intentions don't always prevent problems, unfortunately, and you'll be the one dealing with the consequences.

I get it that it's uncomfortable and awkward, but that person's not your friend. She doesn't really know you, so she might assume anything. You can be the most trustworthy person on earth, but for a stranger, you're a stranger.

Surprisingly, she still wants her help, but the helper is right to draw the line and stop helping. Imagine offering your help and then having your actions questioned. Yeah, sometimes the healthiest choice is to step back. Not your monkey, not your circus. Bye.
