Money: Cough up

Cough up

By Anonymous - 08/11/2010 10:47 - United States

Today, my friend bought a smartphone and updated his Facebook status with it. Two weeks ago he signed an apartment lease with another friend. Four months ago he bought a new handgun. Seven months ago he bought a new TV. He's owed me $300 for a year and a half. FML

Today, my boyfriend bought another expensive bong to go with the one he bought last month, along with his new phone, airsoft gun, and various other things he's blown our money on this year. He's bought nothing to prepare for our son, though, who's due next month. FML

Today, my "best friend" stole almost $1,000 worth of electronics and video games from my roommates and me, just so he could pawn them off and buy himself a new car stereo. FML

Today, I lent a pair of expensive headphones to a "friend" for the weekend. As a thank-you, he bought me a soda. He moved this weekend, taking the headphones with him. I lost a $250 pair of headphones for a $1 soda. FML

Weekend at Bernie's

By Anonymous - 25/04/2024 23:00 - United States

Today, I set aside a weekend to spend time with a friend. I learned that someone else is staying there: a fat, unemployed man-child who talks shit about us on Facebook, while his manipulative wife pays his bills. He got evicted from his last home when he pretended to be a ninja and cut up his neighbor's garden. FML

Today, my jobless husband wants to buy the latest iPhone. His current phone is in good condition, except that he has a 1000 apps on it slowing it down. We're also in deeply crushing debt from all his bad financial decisions from his severely loss-making business. FML

Today, the guy who owes me $300 put a meme on Facebook that said, “In 2023, I’m gonna move on from the past, so if I owe you money, sorry but I’ve moved on.” FML

Today, after moving in with a friend I've known for 9 years, I found out he's going to jail soon, and refuses to work or get a new job, making me unable to pay rent as he eats all my food. FML

Ugh, I had a friend just like this. I bailed him out of jail for $450, which he promised to repay. This was about 5 years ago. Guess who's not my friend anymore?

Here's what happened: a year and a half ago (from when this fml was posted), the op's friend borrowed $300 from the op. Since then he has bought himself several expensive items and yet still hasn't paid back the op's $300. Do you get it now? Do you?

OP, I feel your pain, down to the same dollar amount, time since loan, and simply dumb spending habits... Maybe some day, years from now, we`ll get a sudden surprise of 300 long-forgotten dollars... ...and maybe not. ;-)

You need to go all Stewie griffon on his ass. Beat the shit out of him shouting, "wheres my money, ya gonna give me my money". Oh wait he has gun, i guess you'll have to settle it in court.
