In the 1st place, regarding the stolen $, are you absolutely sure it was him who took the $? You've given him a sentence without trial. Sure, you may already know in your heart that it's him, but what if he turned out to be honest based on his body language whilst you're questioning him?
2ndly, if he really took the $ from you, surely he would've let the matter of the unpaid cards rest? Why would he bother to tell others that he had Not been paid?
3rdly, if at that point in time, you felt that he had given you a rotten deal with those cards, couldn't you have told him that you were missing an instruction manual & the deck was opened? You could've told him that you didn't want it, or you would like a discount. Most people, who're Not petty, will simply ignore it based on goodwill, & just distance themselves from this kinda person. However, you chose to keep the cards AND Not pay him. Who's right & who's wrong? Hard to tell. Who's more wrong? Hard to tell also, but I would say you.
4thly, even if you don't like him, you don't have the right to take away others' choice to invite him for outings. If you're so unhappy about them inviting him, you have a choice whether or Not to turn up. You could've simply Not showed your face. Or, if you had to show your face, leave as soon as diplomatically possible.

hi guys, not really an urgent and serious problem. just felt like asking you guys how to deal with such situations, and people.
i rmb once i post about this irritating guy who stick around with my group of friends as if his part of our group. but than no one wants him in (especially me), but he, being super thick-skinned just blend in and everyone just sui bian and do nothing but talk behind his back. i'm not those type who like to backstab people alot, when i don't like someone, i usually make it known to everyone. even not directly to that person itself, i do drop hints to the person that im not liking what he is doing. and even when i talk behind someone's back, i do repeat it (like a rant) to make sure the "victim" is aware that i'm saying things about him.
probably im the more "fussy" type of people, and get irritated easily.
on friday we had a movie outing. it was supposed to be an ex class outing. all of us were from the same class last year (same, now still). and i told the organiser, " hey don't call that XXX, he very irritating, don't like to see his face, will make the outing dulan...etc..etc..". he agreed. but after some discussions with other friends and classmates we decided to actually inform him. (he didn't know about all the discussion we had about whether to call him anot). i was like "ummm..ok...nvm, ANYWAY since it's a CLASS outing not our grp outing, so why not". here i was prepared to be forgiving and give him a chance and not to boycott him.
he came, crapping with all of us, AS IF he was part of our group. my friends were just showing him face by laughing at what he say. and some of my friends are actually concerned with what people call "ren yuan" or something like that. they are over concerned about making friends with everybody and not enemies. as in, their policy is, " friends are better than enemies" they don't care whether the person is lame, weird, or unattractive. i was annoyed but i kept quiet. nothing i can do.
he is a type of person that is selfish, likes attention, but don't want to help anybody. and when everytime got outing, his the first one to raise hand and say " i'm in ", and just appear. then sometimes he just vanish when everyone is doing something halfway.
believe it anot, im almost 100% sure that what i say is factual. i have some incidents to prove it right.
during my sec 1 and 2 days, i was quite close to him. as in, he was my friend. yep, at least a friend. whenever i wanted to borrow phone from him, he didn't want to lend. and even charge me 20 cents to use his phone. that was a ripoff. but since i was desperate and didn't bring my phone (no public fones nearby since it was the busstop outside school). i closed one eye and decided to forget about the matter. i'm not that petty.
aside from that, he is extremely money-minded, likes to take advantage of people.
once i remember him selling me a deck of naruto cards. which he had opened, at the actual price. he just asked me over sms "do you wan this and that". i was about to get one anyway so i just said yes. and end up, he gave me an opened deck and didn't even give me the instruction manuel that came with it. again, i closed on eye.
until now i have yet to pay him. why? he conned me into believing that he is actually going to play the game itself, since naruto card game is quite new. and i believed. thinking that maybe i should take up the game itself. but infact, i grew suspicious of his motives. i guessed that he sold me the deck because he bought it and realised no one was playing it, or he found it somewhere, bought it at a ubberly cheap price and wanted some quick cash.
and worst, once there was a sleep-over at my place. and i woke up to find 20 bucks missing from my wallet. the other two guys that stayed over stayed awake and slept at the same time as me. while this guy, (the irritating fellow), woke up when we were sleeping and slept when we were awake. i grew suspicious, but since i had no solid evidence..., i couldn't do anything against him. i know that the two other guys did not do anything as they are my VERY close friends.
i thought he just wanted to get back the money, since i had not paid him for the naruto card. i closed the case. but soon he was spreading around that i owe people money and never return. i was like "wtf"....and until now i have not even thought of returning him the money. i considered it was "paid back".
and aisde from all these, he appeared at the stayover at my house, (before t hat it was a class outing and close friends stayed over becoz sometimes it was too late), and he came. the day before we were even having an argument.
he came into my room and dropped his bag. i said, put your bag downstairs. he said "donwan". and giving me a very pissed off look. i was" wtf ". and in my heart i'm thinking "hey this is my house". AGAIN I CLOSED ONE EYE, and im thinking i'm being too nice here.
and finally...
after the movie yesterday me and two other friends decided to go play LAN. he just TAGGED ALONG as if it was natural too. at the bus stop i told him " hey can you don go with us " NICELY, but he pretended not to hear.
nice, i'm getting abit worked up. some people just piss you off sooo much. there are ALOT of other incidents which happened. and it was almost like a passive form of irritation.
what can i do about this? im thinking of making a VERY DIRECT confrontation with him, infront of all my friends declaring that we have NOTHING to do with him...and tell him to get lost. not that our grp of friends are not open, we are quite social with other people and have friends that are not so close which we sometimes eat together, joke together. we do accept people, but not when they are selfish, self-centered, and only know how to make use of people.
