Take the L.

Just don’t cut the deadbeat any more slack on anything rather than trying to recover that money.

Never loan money you expect to see again. If they pay you back, great.

Take the L. It’s $20.. Sounds like the kid could use a mentor and some adult guidance if you’re into that sort of thing.

Just think of it like this: it cost you 20 dollars to learn this lesson the hard way

Start calling him 'Jackson', or Old Hickory... He'll figure it out at some point. Don't laugh at his jokey remarks either...

Don't socialize with the people you work with. They are not your friends.

I love this idea. The perfect amount of passive agressive behavior still innocent.

Lesson learned. But $20 is $20. Let him know that you know and never let it happen again.

Think of it as “W”, you just paid $20 to never have to loan him money ever again. He probably won’t even ask.
