Not sure where to start, or end. WAW?

Good God, another example just now.

She called and asked if the car had another outlet for power. I told her yes, the cigarette lighter - she said that the GPS power wouldn't fit in there or anything, that it was a different size. She asked again if there was another outlet. I told her that there wasn't. She sighed and said that the outlet has stopped working in the car and it's broken. I told her I was sorry but I didn't think there was another outlet in the car. She sighed and said, "OK, well, I have to go."

I was super nice and joyful on the phone, she seemed upset.

I know what she wanted me to say. I know what I wanted to say. It would have been, "Well, why don't you come by this afternoon and I will take a look at it and see if I can fix it for you."

But I didn't ask that.

However, if she would have said, "Can you take a look at it?" I would have GLADLY done so. That means she values me, and my respect goes both ways.

Instead, she gets a little upset I don't offer it out of my generosity. I could feel it in the air.
