Friend That Doesn't Pay Back

Hey, can we talk?

I bet you're wondering why I've asked you to talk.  By my tone, you may have gathered that I'm upset. Yeah, you're right.  I'm kinda upset.

Do you remember that group activity that everyone was excited about that would only work if everyone chipped in?  Did you enjoy it?  I mostly did.   I really enjoyed organizing and leading it, but didn't enjoy not getting paid by you.

Maybe you thought you paid.  Maybe you just gave yourself the benefit of the doubt.  Maybe you thought that when Obama was re-elected it was a year of Jubilee and all your debts were erased.   Maybe you thought it would be more efficient for me to just pay for you than for you to tell me what you wanted for Christmas and get you a present.

You didn't pay.  You shouldn't give yourself the benefit of the doubt.  For you in particular, Obama means that you're going to get taxed more; Anti-Jubilee.  I wasn't planning on getting you a Christmas present.

Friends like you make me want to stop initiating things with friends.  I hate that.  Don't be a jerk.  Also, don't complain or assume leadership at the activity.  That's twisting the knife, Bruti.  Pay me back and immediately proceed to your room.  Come out when you're ready to apologize.
