What would you do?

This isn't quite pot related, but you could substitute pot in my story. My man and I gave our good friend 100 bucks to get us some rolls from this guy he had been hanging out with who supposedly had great stuff all the time. We wen to get it and on the way back from the rave they were at, they got pulled over for not turning off thier highbeams, and they searched the car when they smelled pot smoke. My friend threw our pills out the window. They both promise us to get the more pills for us. A week goes by after a bunch of excuses and we ask for the money back. Our friend is a jobless bum who mooches off his parents for everything. He says he'll do what he can. By now, HIS friend with the E doesn't care. This guy is an idiot because he sells ecstacy, but he does it really frequently so he's so emotional that he's almost seriously insane. Our friend says he'll compensate us somehow, by pawning something off,and I felt bad so I said, why don't you clean our house a few times, do us a favor and we'll call it even.

He just blows off the idea and he's not putting any effort into getting us our money back. His stories are starting to not make sense and we know he's lying about some stuff. He's eaten ecstacy 4 or 5 times since we gave him our money. My man is ready to kick his ass. Would you? What else would you do if you didn't kick his ass?

 

hows having a fight going to sort anything out?

 

sorry that doesn't help at all! :&

 

Kick his ass some more....................keep kicking his ass..............collect enough of his blood to sell to a blood donor clinic as compensation for the money you've already invested, everyones happy, you get your money back and he feels relieved that he has received justice thus avoiding any repercussions when he enters heaven.


Problem solved.

 

Its far from ideal, but he won t fuck them over again, and how does saying what wont help help her?

She asked for an alternative, so give one!

 

well the money's gone, wouldn't make much difference now if you had eaten the tabs now or not. If it was really a good friend I'd just let it go. If 100 gets in the way of bein his friend i guess you al lweren't thta good of friends anyway. so just chalk it up to a loss. thta's my advice.

 

i'm the more peaceable type but I really, really liked rory's suggestion. Whatever. It really odn't matter what you do now does it?

 

hence why i said sorry that didn't help!

very hippyish of you to think of violence as the solution ... you sure your on the right site? :H

you've been stung and lost money, move and don't buy from him again. and maybe in future, don't hand over the money until you got your gear hope that helps a bit more!

 

See what a bit of thought does!!


Your solution is much less stressful and more constructive than mine

I guess it depends how much you needed the lost dollars/drugs.

I'm just thinking that i'd be pissed if i was sat there with no money or drugs, i'd be pissed off and sober! I have never hit anyone since i was a kid but i would be aggrieved if someone was taking the piss like this guy clearly is, and its not as if you can go the the police is it?

You can't allow arseholes like this guy to walk all over you, but with regard to a serious answer, I wouldnt risk knocking him out, but I would pay him a visit and have a VERY strong word in his ear, i'm confident he could be persuaded.

Just find out his weakness, whether he owes people money (other than you) whether he has family that dont know what he gets up to etc. and use that against him.

 

I'm not for fighting, my man is because this is not the first time he's been screwed over by this kid and his friend keeps making excuses and he wants to show him he's serious. I'm not for violence at all, which is why I asked for an alternative and advice.

And I never claimed to be a hippie so stop using some dumb stereotype against me.

He is immature and irresponsible and 100 bucks is 100 bucks. It's not really the money, it's the fact that he values his connection with this insane person that he's known for a month over making things right with my man who he's been friends with for years. We found out he was talking shit like, "well what's he gonna do? Beat me up? He's too much of a spaced out peace freak to do anyhting like that."

 

I agree with you. Man, what a bummer. Not only did you get your hopes up for a good roll, but you also got ripped off for $100. Yeah, I'd be pissed. I doubt kicking his ass would do any good, as much as your bf wants to. Maybe just scare the shit out of him. I would damn sure let him know it wasn't gonna be forgotten. You just can't treat ppl like that and not suffer the consequences. He'll get his eventually, one way or the other.

 

if thats aimend at me i never said you were, i said that to rory whos message i quoted, so sorry for any confusion!

your response has made me think though ... what are you doing on a hippy site if you don't think of yourself as a hippy?

 

He's done this to other people too. he's this small skinny guy so no one really wants to beat him up, but he's got that irresponsible, selfish attitude and nothing anyone ever says to him gets through his brain. He gets all defensive and gets angry. It's impossible to talk to him. No one knows how to get thorugh his head that it's serious. now he's dealing with much bigger fish, and we're worried he'll fuck up with someone who ISN'T patient and he'll really get hurt. We all sort of, want to teach him a lesson now before it's too late, but this can't be the only way.

Are there really people out there so thick headed they need a ass kicking once and a while? no one wantsd to HURT him, just throw him around a bit to show him you can't lose people's money (or eat it I'm not sure if he's been lying all along).

 

this isn't a hippie site. Its a place where people from all walks of life can come together and share thier open minded ideas. there is no definition of a hippie, so I can't really be one. I don't classify myself as anything. Sure I like jamband music and vintage clothing and drugs, but I also work in an office and have responsibilities and practice some ideals that would not fit into a "hippie's" description. That's all.

 

i would think it was fate and that u were not ment to do it that night. somethings happen for a reason... then again.. i wouldnt be looking for E in the first place... if it was pot i would think the same thing.... that maybe it was laced and such. but then again i have a big no money till u have what i want policy.... i would recomend u addopt it as well.hehe

 

well...you could have your boyfreind mess him up a little....throw a few punches. then have him tell this kid he'll be kicking his ass bi-weekly until you get your money back. put a healthy amount of fear in him. he'll do one of 2 things, get your money back, or cry like a child to the police.

or you could just let it go. it does sound like this kid needs a lesson though.

 

I would say a large vice (whatever those clamp things are called, i think thats it) and his testicles should be a nice idea to get your money back.

 

no offense, but from your description of this guy who was getting your stuff, i think it was pretty fuckin stupid of you to give him ANY money before u got/saw the product.

i say bootfuck him and tell him to give u somthin in return, dirts like that are NEVER gonna have enough money to pay u back because as soon as they do, they will go spend it on somthing before paying u back ever crosses their mind.

 

You have lost $100. Beating this guy up will not give you your money back. He is a low life. Stop hanging out with him. If he thinks he got one over on you, so what, who cares what fools like him think? You learned that he is a creep, move on and be glad you didn't waste any more of your time hanging out with this loser. He isn't worth the skin off your (or your boyfriend's) knuckles.

Life is a university, the only question is how high the tuition will be.

 

lol well although 100$ is chump change u might as well get some satisfaction in losing your money
