Today, I discovered that the five-star meal that my friend treated me to last night was actually meant to be repayment of the $200 I loaned her last month. I needed that money for bills and she refuses to give me another cent. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, strapped for money, I asked one of my good friends to loan me some. She said no, because she’s broke herself. I later see her checked in on NOBU, a high class, expensive restaurant, on Facebook and she’d bought a new designer purse and shoes with the hashtag #TreatYourself. FML
Today, my friend won’t pay me back the money I lent her. I stupidly lent her $1200. She’s calling me an “inconsiderate bitch” because I “have a good paying job, I’ll be alright.” FML
Today, after having loaned my girlfriend money after she claimed to be broke and unable to pay her rent and electricity bills, she went out, spent it all on a new purse and phone, and now refuses to pay me back. FML
Today, I listened as my ridiculously wealthy friend excitedly rambled on and on about her latest shopping trip. This is the same friend who owes me £150, and accused me of being insensitive for asking her to repay it at some point. FML
Today, I went out to eat with a friend. I was supposed to be paying, but when I tried to, there wasn't enough money in my bank account. She didn't have money with her either. FML
Today, I thought I was doing a nice thing when I spent hundreds of dollars to get my friend a plane ticket home. She yelled at me when I gave it to her. Turns out, she planned on spending a few more months freeloading off me. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant with my friend, where my credit card got denied in front of everyone. The staff teased me and made me sit in the restaurant while my friend begged for money outside. FML
Today, my sister still refuses to pay back all the money she owes me because she once bought me something from the dollar menu at McDonald's. FML
Today, and for the past 2 years, my aunt has owed me money. She just admitted that she fell for a scam, and gave the scammer more than double the amount I'd loaned her. I felt bad for her… until I realized something. When I asked how she had it to give to them, but not to pay me back, she got mad and hung up on me. FML
Today, after years of loaning my mother countless amounts of cash that never get paid back, borrowing $60 from her, and being just one day late paying it off due to food poisoning, she sends a very large man to my door to collect, like she's Tony Soprano. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She's a bitch. Dump her "friendship"

worse than that, even if it did cost $200, she would have only eaten $100th worth, so where is the rest of the money

Lesson I learned in life: never give out money you need, and assume the money is lost until returned. I have been burned before by a friend who said "i'll pay you back (few day before bill is due)." of course i couldnt contact her until after the bill was due, and i had paid it with my credit card.

If she offered to take you to a "5 star" restaurant why wouldn't you say "how do you have the money for that but not to pay me back?"

What a great friend! She took the time and money to do that, when she easily could have just given you the money. I'm sorry, op. Hopefully you get the money back somehow.

Your friend just wanted someone to go to that restaurant with, and none of her other friends would have been able to spring for it. Selfish.

If that was the $200 she owed you doesn't that mean you technically paid for the 5 star meal?

what gets me is that the friend probably didn't say hey, instead of giving you $200 cash can't I just take you out to a nice dinner?? Sometimes I would be like cool sure. but if I need to pay bills you better give the money back in cash. although I prob. wouldn't loan money I needed to pay my own bills with...

never lend money out to anyone. specially "friends" and if you do decide to lend money, don't expect to get it back.

If you want to pay anyone back in anything other than EXACTLY what you borrowed (be it money, a book, whatever) you need to make sure they're okay with it.

You should never loan out money you aren't prepared to lose. Sucks you lost it, but YDI for getting yourself in that situation.

This is exactly why I never loan money to friends. It always affects the friendship. The one time I 'lent' money to a friend I felt it was a gift to her, if she paid it back, great, if she didn't/couldn't , still great (she did pay it back btw). Ditch this 'so called friend'.
