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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I found out my ex bought a digital camera, an iPod, and a large flat-screen TV, all purchased with the alimony I'm paying him. 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
Today, my husband asked to borrow money. He couldn't pay his half of the rent or utilities this month, but he did manage to buy a $1,700 radio. FML
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, I found out my dad bought an iPhone. I've spent the better part of the last six months teaching him how to check his email and online newspapers. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

that doesn't always work. I had a friend who did the exact same thing to me. she kept talking about how she went shopping again and again, and when I would ask about the money, she would say she didn't have it, and that she was only spending 30-40 bucks, and I'd tell her "that's 30-40 bucks that could have gone to paying me back. I cant afford to go shopping and can barely pay my bills cause of the money u owe me." she would just get pissed off because she said I kept bringing it up.....she's not my friend anymore. selfish inconsiderate bitch.

You worded that kinda confuzzling.

Have you reminded him of this? Is it possible that it slipped his mind? If so, YDI for not reminding him. I know that $300 seems like a lot to forget about, but it's possible. I don't like to ask for money that people owe me either, but as long as you don't do so in an accusatory fashion, it really isn't that bad. However, if you have reminded him and he's just being a douche and ignoring your requests to be paid back, then FYL.

Never loan money that you can't afford to lose. You might try small claims court, if you can prove that he borrowed money, otherwise, I think you're hosed. Especially now that he's got a handgun.

Exactly. Neither a borrower or a lender be. My father put it another way: you found out cheap that this person is not your friend. BTW, that only applies if you've actually reminded him that he owes you money. Ask him if he wants to work out a $50 per paycheck payment plan. If he claims poverty (after all, he has a new flat to pay for), write him off.

If it is indeed a he, tell him he's got a week to pay, or it's gonna hurt. If he doesn't pony up, nail his nuts to a chair and push him and the chair over backwards.
