good friend owes me $1,500...he just got a $14,000 deposit today...

[hiimnotcool]

I wake up to a text from him saying 'call me asap. it's serious!'....so i call him and he's like 'I got my backpay today, checked my account and there was 14 grand in it!' I was like 'congrats dude....' so he said 'I know I owe you 1500 but i'm not gonna give it all to you right now so don't expect it'....bert stared the phone like 'u wot m8?'...he came over a bit ago with a bag full of new clothes and shoes and didn't even pay a few hundred of it. lol

For the last few months he's been telling me he was gonna pay me back in full once he got it. The reason he owes it to me is because I let him live with me for free for a year because he was down on his luck. Paid for his computer to get fixed, bought him food, bought him plane ticket and room for a trip to vegas. We've been friends for 15 years and are basically best friends but this is kind of making me mad.

wut do misc? i'm leaning towards just saying fuk it and not really bugging him about but also not talk to him much if this is how he's going to act once he comes up a little bit.

[ConnorMaynard]

Are you always this pathetic?

Also, it's always on the misc I see people gettin' robbed by their friends

take it back by force

[DatHobgoblin]

Op you are beta for even considering leaving it alone. Jesus Tell him you want the money n explain exactly what u said in ur post. How u let him stay wit u and took him on vacation. Say u just got 14 k I'd like my money now bro. He's doesn't sound like a good friend. I would of given u the money the second I got 14k

[East1600plus]

uh... have him pay or say sorry bro i guess i gotta take you to court?

[tgdv]

lol @ "saying fuk it and not really bugging him about it" over $1500

[str3zz]

Doesn't sound like he values your friendship as much as you value his.

[Vexidi]

If it were me I would get my money from him regardless of how long we've been friends. It's not the money, it's the principal.

[Frank Drebin]

If he doesn't have plans to pay you now the day that the big fat check got deposited, he's not gonna pay you EVER.

[Carter80]

What exactly is he waiting for, OP?

[litoris]

fist his angus

[EZ-Bar]

Any time you loan money or pay for a friend you should do it as a gift or not at all.

If they pay you back, great. If not, it was a gift and you improved their life.

Money shouldn't drive a friendship apart

[Fishoilman]

Honestly man your only real option if you wanna keep the friendship is to guilt trip him.

I used to loan out money a lot and when I asked for it people would always half ass pay and make excuses. And I'd always ask, and they'd get annoyed I'm asking and I'd get annoyed they aren't paying. It's a cycle that only drives two people apart. I would never loan to him again. Just say you don't have sht.


Make an excuse up, say you need to fix your car, you really want to sleep with this expensive prostitute, I don't know, but that's the only way you can really get out without damaging the relationship.

this
I absolutely abhor situations like this

[Quibble]

Slap him. Literally shove him up against a wall and slap him.

[b5lover]

use your beard to access his bank account

this

lending money to non-immediate family members..not even once. But if you do, don't ever expect them to pay u back..

[PrimeraRS]

Beta beard crew is more like it ******* OP


lol such a bytch

[Matsew]

take it back by force

[infornofap]

OP i realize that youve come to terms in appreciating that its harder to make friends and find true companionship the older (esp at your age) you are, and a bond of 15 years substantiates some significance. However, people change, as do their terms of "friendship" with you, and a "friend" isnt supposed to leave you hanging dry like that because that goes against the expectations of a healthy friendship youre supposed to be having...

[RyGla]

why would he tell you if he wasnt going to pay?
maybe hes planning on doing something for you brah

[Spencern11]

I say make it perfectly clear that you want your money, tell him to man the **** up and handle his business. What a cokcsucker thing to do...wont even part with 1500 that he owes his friend of 15 years.

[Khaleth]

Clearly you aren't friends OP. Tell him you want the money, take him to court, or learn a valuable lesson about friendship from this and abandon him altogether. But FFS don't go full potato and continue on like nothing has changed.

[ragealot]

Never loan money to friends assuming you will get it back.

I would tell him that he has enough money to pay me back right now and anything less than 50% is unacceptable unless he is going to use the money to help out with groceries, bills, rent, etc.

Don't be surprised if he says fak u OP I'm gonna go get my own place.

Is your friend Jason Genova or something? Who does that? What am I missing here?

[MolotovCocktail]

If you know him for 15 years, shouldnt be too hard to nag him about it.

[Destor]

Don't think it would be worth going to court for $1500, especially if you don't have strong documentation to back up your claim.


Time to go No Contact and chalk this up as a loss.

[KillOrBKilled]

I know that feel bro

[Murgatroid]

Ask your friend if you can borrow $1,500.
