Today, I politely asked my friend if she would repay me the £20 she owes me. She shouted at me, called me an insensitive bitch, and refuses to pay me back as apparently she can't afford to. Her holiday to Italy next week begs to differ. 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 confronted my friend about the £260 he owes me. He got offended and said, "Friends don't have to pay back." He called me selfish and walked off. 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, 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
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 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 asked my coworker to pay back the $100 I'd loaned her when she fell on hard times. She’s owed me for almost a year now, and she always said she’d pay me back “Next week.” She responded by telling HR that I was “harassing” and “threatening” her. FML
Today, a friend is refusing to pay her final portion on the vacation we’ve been planning for over a year. She's met a new guy and he’s uncomfortable with her going on a girls' trip. We’ve been planning this trip longer than she’s known him and it’s too close to the date for us to get a full refund. FML
Today, I generously paid for my best friend to go to an event she's wanted to see her whole life. Instead of thanking me, she brought her children and made me pay for them too, complained that I hadn't chosen the seats she wanted, then blamed me when she got on the wrong train back to her hotel. FML
Today, my adult daughter reached out to me, asking to mend our relationship. I told her there would be nothing until she paid me back for what I spent raising her ungrateful self. In response, she laughed at me, said, "Never mind" and flipped me off as she walked out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If you lend a mooch a twenty then never see them again, it's money well spent.

op is in France, friend is going to Italy. all north Americans talking about an 'expensive trip' should rethink. I believe a train from France to Italy isn't too expensive, nor are many hotels, or hostels for that matter. 20 isn't a ton of cash. anyone should be able to live without it, especially if they decided to lend it without a stated repayment date. if you couldn't afford to loan the 20 then you shouldn't have. ydi for whining about this. grow up.

Um, noooo. It says 'sent from a mobile version'. We don't know where the OP lives. France is the default location on the app for when the IP address/location can't be tracked. I reiterate: We do not know where the OP lives. Now, I don't about Spain, but a trip from America (the most common place for FMLs to come from) to France is about $1400. So I'd say it's rather expensive indeed. Not to mention the fact that paying off a debt should be the FIRST thing you do with your money. I don't know what type of twat borrows money, spends a large amount on a luxury, then bitches their friend out for even suggesting they pay it back.

Considering the friend borrowed £20 and not $20 I'd say it's a safe bet they aren't coming from the US.. Just a thought..

thank you lindsaysue. exactly my rebuttal to that. £20 is not going to cause anyone to go hungry that wasn't going to go hungry anyways. I'm wondering if OP had a reason for wanting the money back and if it was expressed to the friend. I love how so many FMLs leave out so much useful info in hope the general masses will just side with them without thinking (which it is sad to see that they do)

£20 that's an indicator that OP is more than likely some kind of British. wow and people call us Americans dumb...
akaOtter 1
okay, so I didn't know that France was a default setting. also, as I am on an iPhone, I do not see anything about 'sent from mobile'. I agree that Britain is a more likely location for op to be from, but France is a short drive, not entirely impossible. @intox- if you are going to be a know it all and make snide comments, make sure you make better assumption than the person you are criticizing. very unlikely op is from America, £20 is not likely considered a 'debt' to most people (more like a friendly loan) and why are you bringing up Spain at all?

I was wondering where Spain came in as well.. Glad I'm not the only one!
