odd experience

Told my friend that I struggle with going to the office with my illness and all and that I usually reward myself with a treat during commute to ease it, but that I can’t buy that treat right now because of a union strike (not crossing the picket line etc.). She didn’t know they were striking and said “Oh, good to know, I almost bought there yesterday, glad that I didn’t.”

Then the next morning, I make my way to the office on 3 hours of sleep, exhausted, in pain, without my little treat to help. Friend messages me a while after I arrived at the office just to say that she got herself that treat.

What was the point of that? I’m confused. It felt like rubbing in that she got herself something I need for comfort that I don’t let myself have right now. Especially weird when the evening before, she was glad she didn’t buy there?
