got a problem

[RicoTranzrig]

Dude, not even an apology from him? That's pretty low...at least he owes you that much.

OK.. The way I see it there are two sides of the story.. The problem is only one of you has actually been able to tell it yet. I'm not saying that his side of the story is any more true than yours, but here's my opinion:

The two sides of the story are as such:

Son Goten's side of the story is that he made an account for his friend under his name, without realising there was a charge for using the same account in two places. So he got charged $90, and his friend won't pay it.

In that situation I know I'd be pretty pissed off...


The other side of the story is that your friend makes an internet account for you, because he only gets charged $22 a month, and in theory won't be charged more for you using it. Then when the phone bill comes he asks you to pay $90 for using his account.

In [i]that[/i] situation I'd be pretty pissed off too..


So you have to bear in mind that your friend probably feels just as pissed off as you, because [b]both of you[/b] feel that the other one has brought about this $90 charge. I have a few points that may or may not be of some use...

-Don't expect an apology right away.. I know he really [i]should[/i] apologise, but I speak from personal experience of similar situations (though not on the same magnitude) that he thinks he has nothing to apologise for.

-I don't think he is inferring that $22 is actually worth more than your friendship. The way I see it, there are three attitudes someone could take on this situation-

1- $22 is worth nothing compared to our friendship
2- $22 is worth far more than our friendship
3- Money shouldn't even matter in our friendship

Obviously he isn't in the first category, but I think you should find out if his thoughts are more along the lines of the third category

- I don't know what you should do about the money. In my opinion, a good friend should really pay the full amount. But the problem is, that really goes for both Son Goten and his friend. What I would do is to just let it go and pay. And I seriously would do that, anmd have. Once, I lent £250 to a friend because he was in debt (£250 is about $350-400 or something), but [i]I[/i] offered the money, he didn't ask for it. The plan was that he would pay it back £50 a month with his wages, but then something happened at work and I was sacked (or 'fired'), and I ended up calling off the debt when he still owed £200. So yes.. my advice is to just let it go.. if he's a good friend he will eventually pay it back. If he doesn't, then at least [i]you were a good friend[/i]
