I'm so so so so so pissed off right now. I entrust a task to a friend, and he doesn't deliver, yet again. Can I say that I'm surprised? No. Why? Because this has happened before. So really, I'm ticked off about my own judgement making right now.
Here's a background;
Approx. 1 year ago I gave my friend my brand new, prized possession Ipod Touch, that I had bought for myself. (this was before it even hit the airwaves). I gave it to him, because he told me that he could download my favorite songs onto it for me, (I didn't and still don't have internet at home). So I thought he was being nice and I lent it to him. I gave him one day to download the songs and said that I would pay him.
The following day, I saw him walking by in one of the wings of our school, and I noticed that he was deliberately avoiding making eye contact as he passed. I stopped him and asked for my Ipod. He then gave me some BS about how he had to let the player recharge after downloading some video and so he left it at home. This was on Wednesday. The next day, to my surprise, he didn't show up to school! Friday? The same thing. One of my GOOD friends took it upon himself to get it back from the other friend. I got it back. And guess what? Not one song was downloaded!!! (Wow I'm getting more aggravated as I write this...but being ticked off is good...I'll learn my lesson).
Back to present. A while back this same "friend" asked me how he could make some money doing something for me. I thought about it, and realized that I needed to transfer some money online using paypal. The problem? I didn't have an account. The solution? He did. So I gave him 55$...40$ to transfer, and 15$ for himself. Total effort on his part? Close to zero required. But guess what, I was BS'ed again. You see, I gave him this money on Tuesday. The following day? He didn't do it...Said he forgot. I then promised him an extra 30$ if he would do it on thursday...the result...he forgot. If he would do it on friday, I promised him 15$ as the extra....Result come friday morning in class "I forgot". Then as he turned his head to talk to his friends I distinctly heard him say "You'll never see the money again." What a nice scumbag eh?
This is just one of the many many many unreliable, untrustworthy things that I've dealt with for the past few years of highschool. Thankfully, I'm graduating this year and will never have to see these people again...(except during reunions when we'll get to compare my lambos to their hondas :eusa_clap
:groove:
A few other examples;
I invite friends over to play some sng poker....70$ is stolen from my house
I bring collector cards to school to sell to a friend... they're stolen from my locker along with more money.
I'm wondering what I should do with those people (they could fill a novel there's so many of them {Immature, unethical, no etiquette, no aspirations, negative}. you name it, and I've probably got a friend that embodies it.
Should I ignore them for the next 200 days?
I think that's the answer ain't it.:cuss:
And what should I do about my "friend" with my money?
Thanks, it helps to rant.
