Agreed. I have an old roommate that still owes me six hundred bucks from about 3 years ago. Though I should give him a little credit, he originally owed me 900...
Who did you give this money to? I hope you get the money back. I always give people money, most of the time I get it back but ever once in a while I will not!
I recently learned that renting property to friends is also a dumb a$$ thing to do... still waiting on like $500 in back rent... gurr.
I am only willing to give 2 people in the world large sums of money... only because I have known them for like a decade and a half and every time I have loaned them money I have gotten it back pretty quickly.
Best quote ever: "Neither a borrower nor a lender be." I had to learn that lesson the hard way, actually from both perspectives if you consider credit borrowing!
Sometimes being an ass isn't so bad.... And I agree you probably won't get hurt as much. But back to that balance thing again. You'd have to remember when not to be an ass. And the money situation is hard. Mayeb you should just tell the person what a tight spot that they've put you in and that you can no longer trust them to keep up their end of the bargin. Sucks to be harsh with people but when I can muster up the courage to do it it usually works.
Well, I've been thinking of this balance thing and I guess I've come to the conclusion that most of the time we never "find" it because it takes work. And things that take work usually need to focused on quite a bit or we tend to forget about them... Or at least that's what happens to me. So if only I could find a way to stay focused on becoming balanced...
And as for my smoking thing, my work tests too but only with due cause or if you're in a work related accident. And no it wasn't worth loosing my job over either, I just didn't realise at the time just how careless I had become. Stupid, stupid me.
So how are things going for you?? And to awnser about the next skate party.... tentatively: No. I wish I could say otherwise but I haven't had a saturday off of work in three months. But we'll see.
i learned this lesson awhile ago, i'm still owed, oh, $1,200 i'd say roughly....and that's just from building a damned computer and food, so yea.... sometimes you just have to be an asshole, and if people don't like it then they shouldn't do things to make you act like one. i got fed up with being nice about certain things a long time ago, and should have a lot eariler because it cost me about 40K.....
It took Tamer turning into an asshole to get me to marry him! You know the saying " Nice guys finish last!"
If a guy is a pushover then not alot of ppl respect him, same with a woman, but more with men I think.
I'm sorry your New Year is starting of with money problems and that someone close to you is being a bitch. Here's a hug and I hope things turn around.
mel pokes holes real good. and i'm sure she'd enjoy doing your PA much more than explaining to some underaged twat why she can't pierced said twat's bellybutton.
I was once told long ago that you never loan anyone any more money than you can afford to loose... which for me tyhpically isn't much so I don't loan money.. lol
I agree though.. Being the nice person doesn't have it's payoffs very often in society today...
hey sorry to hear about the misfortune.
i feel ya though, as a single parent too, I know the demiss this time of year. But no worries, taxes come soon, and karmas a bitch, let that take care of her ass. Be the nice guy from a distance.
