The moral of the story is, as Shakespeare wrote, "Neither a lender nor a borrower be."  Especially when it comes to relatives and friends.

Sometimes you don't want to tip because the server gave you almost no service.Heres your seat ,what do you want to order,here it is and then put the check down.......What happend to may I get you something else..would you like your food  boxed. you know the service part...Then you see a post like this one.must be from the one who did not give you the service as it seems alittle short..IE.( get a job as a server making $2.13 per hour for 1 week and ask this question again.) ...........Tipping is by the service given..If you took that job "wait person" . So smile and give service like you would want given you.Then you'll get a TIP

Well first of all, she should have enough money to pay for herself. When the check comes and they're about to pay she should ask him of how much does she have to pay for her meal, in 95% he'll offer to pay, she should ask him to pay herself again(with a true voice), if he accepted at this point so he wasn't willing to pay her from the first but if he insisted on that then she lets him do so, and she should after that with a day or two she might buy him a present which he would appreciate much. Having sex at this point isn't a very good reaction coz he will think even by 1% that she's cheap.\nAssume the waiter/waitress was heading towards her with the bill, at that moment she should look in another direction or to drop something and gets down to get it.

Keep asking him to pay for it until he gets annoyed by you. Then he will finally pay you so you will get off of his back. If that doesn't work, ask one of your friends to talk to him and if that doesn't work, then I don't know. Good luck!

Took my Mom out to a fancy restaurant. All week she's been b*tching because it's too expensive... \n\nFinally, just before she ordered her food, I said, "Well, Mom... you're just gonna have to face it... You're worth it." \n\nShe cost me a lot of money today. But... like I said, she's worth it.

Only if you can afford not to have it paid back or don't value the friendship because it won't last down the road. Money has a way of separating even the best of friends. They'll forget about it, you'll never see them again, you'll get tired of asking for it & get mad seeing them spend money on things when they should be repaying you, they'll get mad if you keep asking for it back, etc, etc, etc. It's easier in the long run not to get involved. Even the 'best' of friends will surprise you when it comes to money.

i believe this is called misdirection.\n\neach person has spent £9:\n3 * £9 = £27 spent\n\n£25 went for the bill\n£2 went to the waiter\n\n£25 + £2 = £27\n\nthe original amount tendered was £30.  from this amount, £27 was spent on the bill and the waiter while £3 was returned.

Someone once told that they never LOAN money, they give it, because if the person asks for it, they evidently don't have any money and they really need it.\n\nChalk it up as a lesson learned and understand that your blessings (money and all) do not come from people, but from God. Thank him for putting you in a position at the time to help someone and continue to do good. God will take up with this friend what she owes, because the bible speaks of debts! \n\nIt is a personal choice whether or not you continue the friendship, but it goes without saying that you should not give her or her family any more money. You live and you learn; people have ALOT going on in life and don't always do what they should or what is right. We all just have to trust that God will convict people and maybe one day, when you don't even expect it OR God will give you an unexpected financial blessing through the hands of someone else. Take it from someone who knows!

From what you say she wasn't in much of a friend.  I don't believe she can sue you for twice what the debt is.  Hang on to your receipt so you can prove you paid her.  The judge should dismiss this case.

Whats Up! I am strongly a believer of what goes around comes around. Don't worry about it because when people treat you the wrong way it will come back to them in the strangest ways. I am a witness to that, not saying I am a bad person but I have a lot of animosity towards my daughters father because of how he treated me in the past, and because he is never around for his daughter ,so this makes me not want to talk to him at all. So I told a little lie and told him my phone was cut off and it wasn't off. He called his self being nice for the first time ever and brought me the money to pay for the phone. So I thought I had extra money in my pocket, but I had to take my daughter to the doctor and my brother had to take me. My brother got a parking ticket for the same amount of money that my daughters father had gave me for the phone. So I have to give the money that I thought I was going to have in my pocket to my brother. See the point I am tring to make is it doesn't pay to be evil,nasty,liers to anybody because it will come back to you. So don't wish anything bad on her, just do not worry about it she'll get whats coming to her.

Well with your friend.  I had the same situation.  She is your friend she just needed a ride.  Don't let it bother you to bad.  She might come around she might not.  I wouldn't give the guy anything just let him stick around and charm you but dont buy him anything!!!

I don't think you can ever get your money back. If it were me , I would just call it a "long , hard lesson learned", and chalk it up tp experience. I would not give her any more money, or trust her again either. If she is still in your life, you need to get rid of her immediately. She is not to be trusted, and is bad for you. Best of luck to you.

You can maybe have a friend agree to call you to make sure you do what you've committed to. And if you don't then you have to pay that friend for everytime you back out. I know this sounds a bit silly but it just may work. Kinda like a curse jar. (you know, people who have a problem with cursing have to put money in a jar everytime they do it) except, agree to pay your friend a fixed amount if you don't committ to a particular goal.  You'll probably end up sticking to those goals if the thought of losing your money annoys you enough.

Well how much gas does this Explorer use anyway? If he told this person he would do it for him, he should keep the promise he made, and if he accepted the $80 for payment then he should chalk it up to experience and do it anyway! He promised to do it! The other person is counting on him keeping that promise! You are liar if you break your promises and if you don't work out a dollar figure before you take on something like this then it is your fault when you come up short!\nYou must keep your promises, it is your integrity you are putting to the front not his! So he is a jerk that is not paying you enough and probably knows it, but you are the one who made the deal with them and if you don't keep up the deal then you look like a liar and jerk and a cheat to boot to everyone he comes in contact with!

Your friend was very rude not to acknowledge your apology and brush this situation off. It was an accident, and no you should not be expected to buy her new lights. However, if she seems upset, and you are willing to buy the new lights, I suggest you tell her that you want to go out for an afternoon, have a little shopping and coffee time (or whatever you enjoy for refreshments). Tell her that you intend to replace the lights and help her hang them up, if they were. If she declines, laugh and insist. Just go, pay for them, and help her get over this. If she has any sense whatsoever, she will appreciate your doing this and realize what a child she has been.

The error is in the way the question is stated at the part where you say each man paid $9 for the room.  They didn't.  They paid $8.33 each, but don't know it.  They each paid $.66 in a tip they also don't know about.  That times 3 = 27 and with the $3 of refund = $30.00.

This unfortunately is just life. Do not loan anyone money or housing or food or anything else that you can't afford to lose, because you will be disappointed this way. Next time you get into a deal like this, have the other party sign an agreement (at least you will have it in writing). That won't get you paid, but it will make it easier to pursue should you choose. You will find that it is best to avoid these situations entirely. \nNow, that said, you could send him a bill (do this on your computer - make it neat, and then print him a copy). Mail it to him and be specific what the charges are for (dates of the stay, etc). Give him a phone number to call to discuss it. Mail by registered mail requiring an acceptance signature. If he does not respond by phone, send another letter the next month (same rules). He may just get tired of it and pay up. If he doesn't pay up, you will have a little documentation to rest charges on. I don't know how much we are talking about here, but it may be better to just chalk it up to experience, and be smarter next time. I have had to do that a few times as lessons learned. Good luck with your problem - hey, at least you don't still have the moocher living with you.
