Why don't I learn? In fact, I am the gullible girl from high school now, but only it is worse. At least I can definitely say Thank God for unanswered prayers, though I learned that long ago.
So here is what happened. An ex of mine from college and I are facebook friends. Really it is no big deal. My husband and I trust each other, and my husband has my password if he ever wants to get on my email, and I would never leave or cheat on my husband regardless. And I am the one who rarely turns down a facebook request because I feel guilty for some stupid reason.
Anyjerk, this said ex used me quite a bit in college. Not for sex or anything per se (or at least that is what I am telling myself), but he would use me to do his dirty work. He convinced me I was just the nice helpful girlfriend. B.S. For example, I wrote his speech that he gave when he was running from president of his fraternity (yeah yeah I know), I ran errands for him, blah de freaking blah. But really, I thought we were all older, wiser and nicer.
So, when he asked me if he would help me with his business card, I didn't really mind. When he offered to pay me $100 to do so, I was thrilled, beyond thrilled. I do a bazillion and one business cards and other picture/editorial things so it normally wouldn't have taken that long. However, this was right around Christmas, which was also right around my surgery. Further, he was VERY specific. I was actually surprised because a card I thought was beyond awesome he did not like at all. But I finally got it done. I was then nice enough to use my discounts etc. to get them made. He then slyly jerkishly told me on facebook he would add what I paid for them to fifty dollars and send me a check (apparently he isn't into paypal yet). I reminded him of the $100 (which initially started as $150 but I agreed that was way high so I never pushed that). So, I agreed halfs and did $75. Added to the money I spent ordering the cards.
Nope, haven't seen the money. Nope, he hasn't returned my email about it. Jerk. I will be befriending him from facebook.
Seriously. How long does it take to learn some lessons?

6 of you are the "cool kids":
See, you're too nice. I'd message every single one of his friends with the details of the bill he owes. And I'd post a photo of his business card you designed. And then I'd send him a message telling him to pay up. Now.
Vicki I feel for you. I also understand. I once thought of getting back with my ex. We dated for awhile and all was going well. I then sat down and searched my mind as to why we had gotten divorced. Oh yes she was dating her boss. Not only that but I was baby sitting the kids while she was doing it.
Oh yes. She tried to run me over with the family car. I decided that was enough and I ended it.
Why don't you call him out on facebook?
Did the cards ship straight to him or do you have them?
Are you kidding? Wow! The nerve!
OMG what a scum bag... that totally sucks... you are such a sweet person that is why.. and jerks like him suck that out of people..... so sorry :(
