There are shltty people in this world

So about 6 months ago, I ran into an old friend who was in town for business. We caught up over dinner because we hadn't seen each other in over 10 years.  He lives in the Midwest, and he was planning on being in town for a couple months working on a project.  Coincidentally I had been planning a guys trip to go rent an RV and go to Talledega for NASCAR race this summer. One of the guys that was supposed to go on the trip backed out, so I had a spot to fill. I invited my buddy and he accepted.  Since I was organizing the trip with people I trusted, I prepaid for everything.  It ended up being $600 per person which everyone was supposed to pay me back. 

You can probably see where this story is going, he didn't bring me the money when he showed up for the trip, and promised to send me a check as soon as he got home.  Obviously the guy never sent a check, so I called him a week after the trip, he said it would send it, then he never did.  Now the guy won't return any of my calls or texts.

Shame on me for being to trusting, but it's such a bltch move on his end for ducking out and not paying his debt.  $600 is a lot of money, but at the end of the day, it won't break me.  It sucks that I have to eat this cost, but I am the type of guy, that if a friend was in true need for money, I would likely give that friend money. The thing that pisses me off, is this guy makes a lot of money, so it's not like he doesn't have it to pay back.  I think karma will catch up with this guy, it's too bad I can't show up to his work or home in person to confront him.  

I'm sure you guys have similar stories...

I learned a long time ago that there are a lot of people just like the guy you described. It's sad and unfortunate and I also learned a long time ago to never put myself in that position again. 

Late summer 2002, we live in VA at the time and I bought 4 tickets to see The Who in Madison Square Garden with Robert Plant opening. Myself, the wife, her brother (who lives up there) and my wife's uncle (who also lives up there) are going. Wife's uncle stiffs us...

Wife's uncle had a timeshare in Aruba at the Marriott beach Club for a few years. Invites us down for a week. We arrive on the island a few hours before him, get to the hotel and they tell us he's failed to pay his annual "maintenance fee" of $900.00 and we can't check in until it's paid, so I take care of that. He never so much as asked about it. 

And you don't want to know that I've arranged to get the 2 seats next to mine at BOA about 3-4 times for people who wanted to see a Panthers game and I ended up selling them outside the stadium.

Yeah, the wife and I absolutely quit fronting the purchase several years ago after getting stiffed a few times like that...

I would send him a ''courtesy letter" via Certified Mail that you are providing him up to 2 weeks to send you payment in full and if by August ....., 2016, you have no other recourse other than to take him to Small Claims Court. See if scaring him into a legal fight will be enough to have him send a check and it will only cost you a letter and some postage. Of course, you don't have to proceed with filing but it's worth atleast trying to get your money back.

People always paid me back... Always.  

 

But then again... I rarely pay for people.

Who was to piss of a guy with a Russian accent? A fake phone call talking in Russian about anything while staring the person in the eyes would be enough to get them to pay.

Yeah it sucks, i pretty much only pay for people I love to death. i paid for a friend's airline ticket once because he was unwise with his money.

He didn't pay me back. I told him I didnt mind paying for him but next time it needed to be a gift and not a loan. 2 years later he paid me back when he got the money. I was very touched. 

My problem at the moment is making people uncomfortable with my generosity. I love buying poo for my friends lol.

    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game to go around   and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.
