only 20 bucks but

[stacie]

I used a little advice from each of you. I sent an email and said we were discussing that we hadn't seen him since he picked his stuff up. that's unusual and we wanted to check up on him. BTW, how's that stuff working out for you. He responded "Are you collecting your husband's debts now". I just responded that we have been starving since loaning the money, but drop it by anytime. Actually I wanted to collect and spend it and never tell my husband. No response. I have dropped the hint. My husband would be mortified if he knew.

are you collecting your husband's debts now?? That guy has A LOT OF NERVE!

[spokewench]

Nobody should be mortified about collecting on a debt. The person who should be mortified is the one who forgot to pay or did not pay.

He's a user.

Yo!! You giva' me dat address....and there ain't no way they gonna forget!

Seriously, a friendly reminder "hey, did I forget to get that 20 bucks from you?"

[teigyr]

RUDE!!! So he knew all along and was intentionally not paying you?! I kind of thought he did being that you had stopped receiving the e-mails but still.

I guess even though you might be out the money, it's good that you know his character and know not to do him favors any more. Who knows, maybe he borrows from his girlfriend all the time and maybe she's tired of it too!

I agree he knew what he was doing. And at this point I would just write it off unless you really do need the money. Then that is another story. It's funny I am not shy at all about money matters. With my really good friends, if we lend money let's say because we have come up short at dinner or something it always seems like something will come up prior to paying it back that is like paying it back. We might be a bit short but our saying is "It all evens out in the end". Like right now my two best friends owe me for a camp site we reserved in a few weeks. But the one friend will probabaly get all the beer. So it even's out there and the other friend well they owe me 21.50 for their spot and I WILL COLLECT! Good luck by the way but there is a point you have to just let it go. And you just won't be giving him anymore blah blah. (very intriguing)
