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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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

Now you know better than to loan her money.

From my experience it's all about knowing who to lend money to and who will honor the loan and pay you back.

No, that's just called not loaning money to anyone. That's what the bank's for and if you can't get a loan from them, that's too bad then.

I'm pretty sure you can sue over this, I would.
Thegoofygoober 15
Unless it was a written agreement, there cannot be any legal recourse taken. the weight of the word just doesn't hold anymore sad panda

Cost more to sue than what is owed.

When you loan someone money, assume you won't get it back.
Bliepje 22
never loan money to people unless ur 100% sure ull get it back

Better yet, dont loan out money you need. The person may be reliable, but that doesn't guarantee something wont happen. "here is your 100 dollars back. by the way, my car just broke down. can i borrow 200?"

#40 that's exactly what I was thinking. Yes it's a bad situation but it's silly to loan your bill money. Unless it was a sincere emergency, OP should have made sure their needs were taken care of.

Friend: ok here's the money I borrowed and I'll also dictate how you spend it. Unacceptable

People suck. Recently got screwed over by an (ex) friend. Checked 20 times that she was going to a concert with me (tickets were $90 after tax). A day before the show she tells me she's not allowed to go (she still needs her mom's permission despite being an adult). Refused to pay me for the ticket I bought for her saying she wouldn't have been able to pay me back for a while anyways (on top of another $25 she owed)...then posts on social media about getting a kitten... -.- OP I hope you're able to get the money together and that you dumped your "friend".
