This is p*ssing me off at the moment - a guy I used to work with who is an on-again off-again friend has asked for money like 3 times in the last year. Every time I've said no.
It's not even small amounts he's asking for either. He wanted me to help cover his flat deposit, then he wanted me to help him pay his electricity bill and now £250 was the latest request, just cold through a messenging app. My reaction was basically: "Are you f*cking serious? That's a lot of money. No."
This behaviour goes back a long time. When we were working together we'd be on a night out and it was always "Hey Smooth, I don't have any money, can you buy me a sandwich?"
So I would. He'd never pay me back unless I stepped on his balls about it, which I had to do three or four times because on principle it makes me angry when people don't return money they borrow even when it's a small amount.
Every time he'd make out I was being a c*ck by asking him to pay me back, because "I can just buy you something next night out" - conveniently ignoring the fact I don't ever need other people to buy me stuff because I'm responsible with my money.
Maybe I'm just greedy but it annoys me when people borrow my cash and then try to act like it's some sort of barter system when it comes to paying me back. It isn't - give me my f*cking money and stop trying to weasel out of it like a b*tch.
It's even more annoying because his mental state and behaviour is so erratic. He has bad depression and always projects it onto me when he feels bad - he apologises afterwards, but honestly I'm so tired of this guy acting like a c**t. Should I just cut him?
