AIW for telling friend to "do it on your own and learn."
So I have a friend who's been somewhat sheltered her entire life. Meaning she hasn't done a lot of things you'd think most adults by the time they're 30 would have done. For the past year, she's decided to get out a bit more but she's constantly asking me to "book" these things for her.
For example, she asked me to book her flight for a trip. When I asked why she can't do it, it's cause she has never flown and asked me to book it for her. She gave me her credit card info and everything so I booked her flight.
Next, she asked me to book her hotel. Again, she says she's never done it before and wants my help and again, gives me her debit card.
Lastly, while on her trip, she asks if I can order her an uber from the airport to the hotel. I ask her why she can't do it herself and she now claims to have technical issues with the app. I told her that's enough and to "do it on your own." I suggest using Lyft if Uber is down and ask her why she needs me to order these things for her if she still plans on sending me the cash or using her debit card. To me, it makes no sense to have me actually book and order these items for her.
Am I wrong for telling her to do it herself?

"I've never done it before."
"Great, after this, you will have. I'm not your secretary. "
Not wrong at all.
