In this story, OP (F28) and her friend (F28) disagree during an appliance shopping trip. The friend’s parents had purchased a house for her and her partner, and when questioned about her own housing situation, the friend initially misleads the store employee by saying she bought the house. However, the narrator corrects her, revealing that she inherited her parents’ house. This leads to a confrontation between the two, with the friend feeling insulted by the narrator’s remark about her parents’ help in buying the house. OP, in turn, defends herself, stating that her parents also assisted her in getting a house but in a less fortunate manner.
The situation highlights underlying tension and perhaps envy between the two friends regarding their housing circumstances. While some of their mutual friends side with the narrator, believing she was provoked, others see the confrontation as unnecessary escalation.
