The neediest woman in the world.

Prior to this, the highlight of my day was a client asking me what middle school I go to. |:
But I was at this woman's house installing blinds with my grandfather. She's old and has an oxygen tank. Which I can respect.
But I suddenly hear her calling me (this is the first time I've EVER met her). I go and see what's up.
"Could you bring me a Coke from the fridge in my garage?"
...uh. Alright? I'm here for the blinds but whatever, it wouldn't hurt.
I go and get the only Coke from her fridge, which is diet. Before I'm even back up the stairs she calls down:
"Oh, and could you put it in a glass with ice?"
Sure. Go back downstairs, put some ice in a glass ("YOU CAN FILL THE WHOLE THING WITH ICE" she yells down) and bring it back upstairs.
And then she asks me to get her a straw.
SIGH. Go back downstairs, get straw, return upstairs.
"Oh and could you also get me the rest of the can?"
OKAY. WHATEVER.
Go get diet Coke can, run upstairs.
"This is diet! Ew!"
"WELL THAT'S ALL YOU HAD"
"There's probably normal Coke on my counter."

Go back downstairs. Redo entire thing. (REMINDER: I AM THE BLIND INSTALLER.) Return upstairs.
And then she tried to lure me into cleaning her house once a week.
NOT TODAY, LADY.
