What is it with a MERE $10?!?
-
eeh hello, from the first two posts, u didn't mention a word that u going to repay the loan, I am no mind reader.Originally posted by LinLing:But I didn't said "$10 mah, so stingy". I only said "Tomorrow, can?" And she hated me right away. =(
u just kept putting the blame on yr friend being materialistic n has more money than u.

I borrowed $10 from a friend. And it has been only TWO days and she has been pestering me for it. And to the extend of saying this:
"I don't friend you ANYMORE!
Ok. What is it with a mere $10?! A $10 CANNOT buy you that shirt you are eyeing for and that is BRANDED.
A $10 is enough to spoil a FRIENDSHIP though.

And she have another $20 in her wallet. *roll eyes* -
The best way for avoiding conflicts is not to borrow and lend money from and to others. That's what i alway do.

sometimes the place u go to only accept cash n u happen not to have so much at that point in time.Originally posted by Anti-RuleSS:The best way for avoiding conflicts is not to borrow and lend money from and to others. That's what i alway do.
I always return the loan when I can get to an ATM machine or within the next day, I don't like to owe money.
what if yr friend has urgent need?? u going to wrap yr hands around u n sit idle??

Erm, little girl, don't you think you're being kinda rude? You didn't even tell us the whole story, so we gave our opinions based on the facts that you had given us.
So don't you think you should be pointing fingers at yourself & telling yourself SHOO instead? Better learn your manners before you offend other people.
FeowFeowOriginally posted by LinLing:I will like to say something about the hightlighted. Firstly, she had $20 in her wallet and she said she does NOT have ANY money and demanded for it back. And when I asked what about the $20, she said that was for going to NTUC later to buy groceries for the house. And I got this feeling she was lying because she said "Err.." before she said the sentence and gave this "faraway" look. Oh, now I remember. Last month, we went to the arcade together and she said she will pay me back the $30 I spent. STILL DIDN'T. Wtf is this?! Thank you people who reminded me. Go away to those who said I am a calculative/stingy or whatever person. SHOO. Just SHOO. -
Ok people... I think that's quite enough for now... She's only 12 years old... To be fair... I don't remember myself being any more mature than she is when I was 12....

She has just got into the 'Age of Infinite Wisdom'

No excuse for bad behaviour. Asking advice & then turning around & pointing fingers at others is just Not cool.
If you can condone this, then I'm outta AA.

between my colleagues and I, we even ask for $5 borrowed the day before.... and most of us make at least 5 grand a month....
get real kiddo, money is money, you borrow you return - promptly. -
You should take $100 and throw it at your friend. That'll show her!!

can aim at me or not.....??? $50 also can.....Originally posted by choco B:You should take $100 and throw it at your friend. That'll show her!! -
I know it's no excuse for bad behaviour... But kids are afterall kids... Notice how she is already refraining from further accusations..? Sometimes we realise our mistakes, but it's just difficult to admit and apologise upfront... Even ADULTS have PROBLEMS achieving that...Originally posted by FeowFeow:No excuse for bad behaviour.

My point is that I suppose most forumites would have already contributed and have that message driven across to her by now...
As much as she was wrong to be turning around and pointing fingers at us... It's also as EASY for us to just POINT OUR FINGERS at HER (and hence as often, others' mistakes when they make confessions in AA...) No doubt though we would like to bring a message STRAIGHT across, it's always so much easier for us to be the ones pointing our finger... Turn the table around and you'll understand how it feels to have so many people pointing their fingers at your mistake... The IMPORTANT THING I would like to STRESS here is that... End of the day, our objective is probably NOT to CONDEMN a person for this type of mistake... But to hope that the person would change for the better... Kids are often never that adapted in handling emotional confrontations and peer stress... Know the limits and not drive one over the walls... EVERYBODY MAKES MISTAKES... Who doesn't?

I believed I said to THOSE who gave me comments that I am CALCULATIVE, STINGY or NAIVE or whatever. I did not say SHOO to those who gave me advice....
Please read carefully. -
I am not saying $10 is a SMALL amount. I'm just ANGRY by the fact that a $10 can easily just ruin the friendship, just like THAT.Originally posted by casino_king:wah lao... if ten dollars is so small to you and not worth spoiling a friendship over then pay her lah!!! what's wrong with you? it is not the amount... people hate to feel cheated.... especially cheated by someone like you.
And I already said it might take me quite some time to return the money, so she should know that it might take me TWO DAYS.
And I already said I CAN PAY HER IN INSTALLMENTS. $1 each day. But she said NO, I WANT THE NOTE ITSELF. -
Thanks a millions...=]Originally posted by Devil1976:I know it's no excuse for bad behaviour... But kids are afterall kids... Notice how she is already refraining from further accusations..?
