There are shltty people in this world

So about 6 months ago, I ran into an old friend who was in town for business. We caught up over dinner because we hadn't seen each other in over 10 years.  He lives in the Midwest, and he was planning on being in town for a couple months working on a project.  Coincidentally I had been planning a guys trip to go rent an RV and go to Talledega for NASCAR race this summer. One of the guys that was supposed to go on the trip backed out, so I had a spot to fill. I invited my buddy and he accepted.  Since I was organizing the trip with people I trusted, I prepaid for everything.  It ended up being $600 per person which everyone was supposed to pay me back. 

You can probably see where this story is going, he didn't bring me the money when he showed up for the trip, and promised to send me a check as soon as he got home.  Obviously the guy never sent a check, so I called him a week after the trip, he said it would send it, then he never did.  Now the guy won't return any of my calls or texts.

Shame on me for being to trusting, but it's such a bltch move on his end for ducking out and not paying his debt.  $600 is a lot of money, but at the end of the day, it won't break me.  It sucks that I have to eat this cost, but I am the type of guy, that if a friend was in true need for money, I would likely give that friend money. The thing that pisses me off, is this guy makes a lot of money, so it's not like he doesn't have it to pay back.  I think karma will catch up with this guy, it's too bad I can't show up to his work or home in person to confront him.  

I'm sure you guys have similar stories...

I learned a long time ago that there are a lot of people just like the guy you described. It's sad and unfortunate and I also learned a long time ago to never put myself in that position again. 

Late summer 2002, we live in VA at the time and I bought 4 tickets to see The Who in Madison Square Garden with Robert Plant opening. Myself, the wife, her brother (who lives up there) and my wife's uncle (who also lives up there) are going. Wife's uncle stiffs us...

Wife's uncle had a timeshare in Aruba at the Marriott beach Club for a few years. Invites us down for a week. We arrive on the island a few hours before him, get to the hotel and they tell us he's failed to pay his annual "maintenance fee" of $900.00 and we can't check in until it's paid, so I take care of that. He never so much as asked about it. 

And you don't want to know that I've arranged to get the 2 seats next to mine at BOA about 3-4 times for people who wanted to see a Panthers game and I ended up selling them outside the stadium.

Yeah, the wife and I absolutely quit fronting the purchase several years ago after getting stiffed a few times like that...

I would send him a ''courtesy letter" via Certified Mail that you are providing him up to 2 weeks to send you payment in full and if by August ....., 2016, you have no other recourse other than to take him to Small Claims Court. See if scaring him into a legal fight will be enough to have him send a check and it will only cost you a letter and some postage. Of course, you don't have to proceed with filing but it's worth atleast trying to get your money back.

People always paid me back... Always.  

 

But then again... I rarely pay for people.

Who was to piss of a guy with a Russian accent? A fake phone call talking in Russian about anything while staring the person in the eyes would be enough to get them to pay.

Yeah it sucks, i pretty much only pay for people I love to death. i paid for a friend's airline ticket once because he was unwise with his money.

He didn't pay me back. I told him I didnt mind paying for him but next time it needed to be a gift and not a loan. 2 years later he paid me back when he got the money. I was very touched. 

My problem at the moment is making people uncomfortable with my generosity. I love buying poo for my friends lol.

    • Not really. It all depends upon perspective. You can draft quality OTs high every year. They have one of the lowest bust rates by position. DTs, less so, but good ones still come along at a regular clip. With WRs, it's simply best to draft one in the first round if you want a legit play maker. Moreover, WR is going to set you back more than OT or DT at really all statuses, meaning JAG receivers are going to make more than JAG OTs and DTs, and elite receivers will make substantially more than elite OTs or DTs. I would also argue that it's much harder to find a franchise level OT or DT that can have an altering impact upon the game. So, if you don't believe they can, you may as well wait for day 2 or 3. That's why sticking to your board is probably the wisest thing to do. If you're not committed that the value is there, then what are you doing? Lastly, I don't think you should necessarily draft in a vacuum, but you must look at each team from year to year. People want to make them the same, but they're different. You have to start over every year and identify where the strengths and weaknesses are. You can't say, "Well we drafted [so and so] last year or two years ago, so we'll just draft this this year." That's not realistic and it can be highly counterproductive, especially in light of the reason that you should be trying to use FA to set up the draft.
    • If you read through his stuff, he's had a raging hate-boner for the Carolina Panthers the likes of which would make many long-tenured Huddlers blush. Every win was "yeah but" and every loss was "see I told you so".
    • Let me preface this by saying I've read WalterFootball on and off for 20 years. That's an indictment on my decision-making, and it's more than fair to be questioned.  However, the days of reading what's become weak ragebait have drawn to a close after he re-graded the 2025 NFL Draft's first round. He gave T-Mac a C on draft night. What was his re-grade for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?  Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade One-Year Grade: C+ Grade Tetairoa McMillan won Offensive Rookie of the Year, but only by default after Emeka Egbuka vanished in the second half of the season. McMillan was good, and was certainly limited by Bryce Young’s mediocrity, but there are still concerns about his work ethic and passion for football. If he doesn’t progress in the coming years, we’ll know why. Original Write-up: Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa McMillan’s work ethic, which is something you never want to hear from a first-round prospect, especially one who is chosen in the top 10. Bryce Young needs this, and McMillan is talented, but will he give 100 percent at the next level? Also, what about the defense, which was the worst in the NFL last year? https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades2025.php
