Don’t know if any of you guys remember this problem I had with person B – I wrote about it in September and voila, I am still in the fucking same problem a few months later.
I have contacted person B countless of times and put up with the excuse “I don’t have any money this month” and whatever bullshit that she spouts. Why I call it bullshit? Because on her blog over in Friendster, she talks about shopping and puts up pictures she took during her clubbing escapes. In a forum that WE BOTH go to, she talks about entertaining relatives, going outstation and shit like that.
So what’s so wrong with all that?
Well, in her case, if you owe people money, the excuse “I don’t have any money this month” is only valid if you have been scrimping to pay off bills and not go on a galvating spree that involves you throwing money here and there. I don’t give a fuck if you don’t need to pay for your clubbing, if you were shopping for bargains…I give A GODDAMN FUCK about you OWING ME money.
A whole RM150 of it…which has dragged on from July until now. God-fucking-damnit.
She avoids my calls. She doesn’t reply my SMS messages. She avoids my emails. And you know what’s great about the whole thing? It’s the excuses she gives me.
“I’m not online.” “I ran out of credit.”
OHHHHH…not online and can post on a forum too? Ran out of credit but can answer people’s call to go clubbing and shit? Whatever happen to fixed lines? I was born BEFORE yesterday, you know. ~_~
So fucking tired of her excuses.
And she calls me a friend.
DON’T tell me not to do anything but sit and wait…coz I have been SITTING and WAITING and I’m tired of it.
PAY ME BACK!
It’s real hard when dealing money thingy wth your pals.Since you had try diplomacy approach, just hit it there with her. Tips: Brought her to a restaurant get her pay for your portion.
A propos, I’m going to Paris & Amsterdam on 22nd, and its snowing there. My bf suggested I get my winter jacket & boots over there.I may frozen by time, had you purchase any winter apparel in KL? Any recommendation?
Haven’t purchased any coz don’t need to. I bought some jackets while I was in Australia which is just fine for winter.
I’d say to go check out winter apparel shops in KL or PJ (can’t remember the names) but just beware about paying too much for clothing that isn’t suitable for the weather. Next alternative – buy there?
As for my ‘friend’, difficult since she doesn’t answer my calls and I don’t know where she lives.
humph….i’m still waiting for my RM150 too, and it’s been WAY long over due. always the same excuse, ‘end of the month’ then come end of the month, ‘i just got into accident, pls hold.’ damn sien man…..how is it possible that RM300 takes almost a YEAR to pay up? i’m still patient though. coz I WANT MY $$ BACK! :-l
I tried calling her just now and you know what? She ended my call. I’m like telling myself not to bother, kiss her and my RM150 goodbye but this month hasn’t been very good for me – bills, unpaid leave cuts, French classes to pay for, holiday trip preparations…
8-|…Even I had kiss mine 600 goodbye a year back. Guess I will put some layer and buy them there.Material & quality adapted to the weather there.
Imagine having your very own best friend borrowed $$ from you, promised to return it asap, broke ties with you, conveniently “forgot” she borrowed RM1k from you, and you finally get it back.. After 3-4 years!
Natasha: Just bring some extra clothes if you’re not good with cold weather. ^_~
Lil’ Patchee: *gulps* It must have felt ‘horrible’. ~_~
Really, I want to know what these people think half of the time.
Frankly , I dont think you’ll ever see your money again. You might as well say goodbye to your money and her as a friend and have a Merry Christmas.:d. hubby’s colleague (Dr) borrowed 30k ( short term) and last we heard he’s in the Carribbean with his new gf. He’s moved now and hubby just wants to forget him and not bother. I was maaad for a long time.. especially when I hear his bimbo talking about her cruises ( With our money) , finally , I’m accepting it and moving on with our life and it has definitely lighten my emotional burden :d:d:d:d
Lil Patchee— It really depends on how you got the money back..if its after years of calling ( maybe even threatening) her, then you’re better off without that friend. But if its brought back on her own , maybe she was really financially strapped and too embarassed to tell you, then at least shes an honest friend and worth keeping.
when it comes to paying back money borrowed, people sure can come up with the most creative of excuses.

well, sometimes we are being nice and helpful, doenst mean people need to take us for granted! But somehow not everyone will appreciate that. So money is a sensitive issue to talk about with frenship. I had such bad experienced that i used RM200 to get rid off a frenship. I knew her since standand one in primary school, for god sake i helped her, she owed me money for more than 4 yrs also never pay me back! everytime when she in shit or need help only know how to dial my number, the rest of time totally forgot about me. Recently i also helped a fren (guy) to topup his prepaid credit and i paid first then he said will pay me back. So i still waiting for the money. Last week i asked money from him, he told me he hasn’t go to bank yet. He owed me RM160. So hopefully will he will pay me back before he fly off to Japan. Otherwise will bcome Xmas gift to him already. >_
mei: yours aren’t so bad.
mine is badder: loaned a fella journo — hence assumed ‘civilized’ — RM500, so several months/year? down the line, when I politely asked for it, he ‘banged’ on my car’s side-screen, ‘threatened’ me that he knew where I worked (I don’t see where’s the bloody relevance even until today .. unless thhe bast//thot he could do a Bonnie&Clyde on my workplace and reduce me to smithereens…
RM150 .. write it off and conisder it an Xoensive lesson.
Wanna to hear about another RM20k ADDventure?…
