All that for a 20 dollar loan story.

Let it go it’s not worth it. Be extra hard on him later and dont lend him anything.

First of all, no self-respecting adult man should ever “loan” twenty dollars. That trivial amount is always a gift. No strings attached. I believe this extends all the way up to $500 or so…but can understand it could be lower to some, such as $100. Anything lower and you just simply can’t afford to gift or loan money because you’re just as broke.


I could use $20 every so often. I'll message you my Venmo.

The guy going on about $20 says just as much about his character as it does the other guy. And if you think making an issue about $20 will address anything to do with accountability, well, I don’t know what to say to that.

Would you ask for the money back and possibly make drama at work over 20 bucks or just let it go?


Yeah, he went on and on about that $20 didn't he?

Notice how nobody in the thread really cared about the $20?

I make it a policy to stay out of all office politics. I’m there for business only. Secondly, I do not loan money to anyone ever. I give only what I can afford to lose.

I didn’t say the guy did go on about it. But in addressing the other poster who I replied to, if the guy did go on about it, it would say something.

Jesus…not complicated.

And pressing the guy who clearly doesn’t give a shite about taking $20 off a coworker about accountability is flipping laughable.

Rephrasing the words of Daniel Tosh…no one who goes their entire life being a piece of shite is going to turn it all around because some guy they work with presses them on how they spent a $20 gift.

There are people I won’t gift money to. This guy would be one of them. Nobody is entitled to anyone else’s money. It’s easy enough to say, “I don’t have extra right now.”

I would ask one time for it. Nice and in a civil manner. Hey man, since you didn't get to do the dip, when do you think you will have my $20 back to me by?

If he doesn't give it back, I would make it my mission to sabotage that bitch and get him fired. I hate fricking thieves. If you job wouldn't be put in danger, I would have different advice.

The W is removing fella from your life. $20 is cheap. Losers lose. Get out of his way, and you already won.

You learned one of the prime lessons in "A Bronx Tale".

The wisdom of Sonny keeps giving and giving.

$20 to confirm he can't be trusted. Could save you a lot more headache in the future. Worth it.


Best $20 the OP ever spent. He needs to watch this guy closely. He just confirmed the kid will lie AND steal.

As much as it pisses you off, you stand only to lose more by making a big deal of it. Go on with your life like it didn’t happen and don’t devote another thought to this.

I feel sorry for people who have no reading comprehension. They just can’t or won’t understand what they read.

NO do not ask for it back. Be thankful that you are not struggling financially like he is and if possible get him a bump in pay.
