ghetto debt collection

jammy

december. lend girlfriend's male housemate $100 for ticket to NYE show. promises of repayment procrastinated for the next 3 months. housemates fall out. email said housemate. ask for money. he tells me to go fuck myself. what would soulstrut do?

Soulhawk

time travel & not lend him the money?

jammy

yeah, that would be perfect. just shows you can't trust people you think you know alot of the time i guess...sad!

Find & physically collect. I know, easier said than done. Just look at it this way: Karma's a bitch. You'll see him one day and until that day dude will most likely be looking over his shoulder.

But nothing's worse than feeling like someone got over on you and placed the "Fuck You" cherry on top of the the shit flavored sundae they just served.

breez coming through with the sagely words always, thanks. i have waited. and i heard that he fell off his hipster fixie bike and ate shit which made my day. but that isn't enough. i think i will wait and just see what happens next time i see him. just politely ask for the money. money is money! argh

Take the L, or go after him yourself. Personally, I'd take the L and learn the valuable lesson that you shouldn't lend money you don't want to lose to people you can't be sure will pay you back. If it was a couple of thousand, I'd say post up with a ski mask and baseball bat, but $100 isn't really worth it.

Actually, come to think of it, you could probably get some cash for his bike at a local shop. Have you considered acquiring it? Via subterfuge perhaps?

i am starting to feel this way. the best i can do is spread the word that he is a d-bag which people already think he is pretty much. digging his own hole. i just never thought he would be this douchey towards myself...

Dear xxxxx,

There is no question that the debt you owe me will be collected. You can either pay me in legal currency or I will take it out in trade. That nice little fall you had on your bike the other day was worth about $0.50 in trade to me. You can pay me immediately or I will fuck with your life until I extract the rest in trade. Just to put things in perspective, positive STD test results mistakenly being mailed to every person you know is worth like a buck and a half in trade to me.
Regards,

One of the many people you owe money


Anonymously dropped in his mailbox to be followed up with a call asking for $100......you know nothing about a crazy letter he received.

Once someone rips you off they no longer deserve any respect.

rockadelic, as one of the more mature poasters on the strut, i would have expected more. but i love it! karma is never satisfying for me. i love a more immature response, done in a creepy way. note to self. never lend out cash again! that goes for all of you...

tripledouble

hahaa. thats pretty good.

its not really about the money though, its more about the feeling of being taken advantage of by a piece of shit.
ive moved on before, trifling amounts of $65 and $100, but whenever i think of that shit (like now, thanks!) i get annoyed that i let them ride off into the sunset. i felt much better when i proactively took a couples bed that owed me $400 and neatly left their sheets tucked onto the floor. i got my money the next day. problem is you gotta access the house somehow. if they have housemates you may be able to finagle entry.

dont let that shit slide. they'll just keep doing that shit to others.

tripledouble

and gossiping about town how they did you wrong will make you look bad along with them

This is the "Be the agent of karma" approach.

Never loan people money expecting to get it back.

Never borrow money unless you can repay promptly.

jammy

batmon

If you were really about it you woulda had your money already.

Take the L.

Steal from me and any "maturity" goes out the window.

Never mistake age for maturity.

^^^^^this for sure, i've done this to a few...usually gets the point across without actually getting the point across...i've learned my lesson letting people borrow shit and never to have it returned.

remix:

go to every Mac store and best buy near his house/apt and change the screensaver and desktop pic to "xxxxxxx xxxxxxx owes xxxxxx xxxxxxx $100".....

immature as fuck, but why not right?
