Yeah. I should have known better from past experience.
Most can borrow a fiddy, or a few hundred, and can pay it back. But when it gets over $500.00 then people have a hard time paying. In my friend's case this time, he has made NO EFFORT. I mean, no excuses, or even partial payments.
That is what REALLY burns me.
I would be more understanding if you had made some effort at payment. But none?!? Then turn around and ask for MORE? Fucking ridiculous.
But what burns me the most is the perception that, 'you can afford it'.
My sister likes to play this game. She borrows a fiddy for example until pay day. On pay day, you do not ask for it, so she ASSUMES you do not need it. So you lose it. You may, most often will not, get it back.
So the next time she borrows a fiddy, you call her the minute she is out of work on pay day and remind her. Then every time you talk to, or see her, you remind her. She then is like, "WTF?!?!! You are hassling me over $50.00 when you have thousands in the bank?!!"
