I feel like I need to vent to get a bit of anger off my chest.
I just feel 'used' by someone close to me who asked to borrow money and pay me back the next week. I said yes, absolutely fine not a problem and gave them the money. Didn't get the money when asked so I gave them the benefit of the doubt and waited longer. Still nothing. So I send a text to them asking 'Hi, just wondering if you'd be able to transfer my money back across please.' The reply 'Yeah sure, just out at the moment i'll do it later if that's ok.' I said yes fine. Later came, nothing. Phone dead. I tried said person the next morning who was a bit miffed when I asked for my money and they said they haven't got it until a week on Friday. I was really annoyed at this because I was relying on this money to get me through my week and I was pretty desperate for it. I also found out that they'd been out the night they said they was going to transfer me it later and obviously spent it all. Anyway having met up with said person we spoke things through and I made a compromise that they could pay me back after our holiday as they would need it more than me. So that's that and that date hasn't come yet.
Anyway, same friend rang me the other day asking me to take them fishing for five pounds petrol money as it was just out of town. I said yes. We ended up getting lost and using quite a lot of my petrol because 'friend' hadn't found out proper directions so we had to guess.
Finally found it and got them there. No fiver on the day, i'll get it tomorrow they said. I didn't worry because I thought oh a fivers nothing to worry about really. Well its 4 days later and I need the five pounds towards my petrol. So I text person to say i'll come and pick them up from where they are and i'll get that fiver off them. 'I haven't got your fiver'. Is the reply. ARGHHH! This isn't just like a random friend either it's someone really close to me and I feel they have proper taken advantage of me I admit I've got quite shirty now and the reply is 'why do you need it you got paid last week' and then trying to say things they've done in the past for me. Which is nothing to do with money and I wouldn't dream of doing this to them. This person I take them everywhere in the car too and never charge them a penny. I just feel totally used and said person is making me out to be a horrible person for asking for MY money back.
Obviously I would like my money back but the upsetting thing for me is how this person has treated me. How they can be so selfish? Just really annoys me. I won't be lending my money out again and I feel like putting a sign on my car saying NOT A FREE TAXI! Lol.
