Failing a Friend

The plaintiff says he loaned the defendant money over the course of a few years, but now his friend is not paying anything back, so he’s suing. The defendant says the money was a gift, and he claims he’s never met the plaintiff in person, only online.

Hearing JM reading the text messages was hilarious. I could not stop laughing 😂

I wish I had a friend like him only thing I would do differently is pay him back and appreciate his kindness!☺️

These were gifts. He liked bragging about his stash and then cried for it back, after his feelings were hurt. Good grief.

Some of these comments come down on them for gaming, but most folks spend literal hours on social media across apps, so stop throwing stones. These two seemed like nice guys. The defendant was straightforward about his circumstances and the plaintiff was trying to be a good, supportive friend. I personally think the new chic is in the plaintiff's ear and is influencing a lot of this. What the defendant said was a bad joke but it could have been worked through. When that girl is gone, they'll probably make amends.

I can't get over knowing someone for 15 years and never seeing their face until today. That's shocking to me.

If he want's to throw his 'stacks' in a direction... please, by all means GIFT me those stacks. lol

As a child of yahoo chat rooms, I can get how they were friends for 16 years. Few people have constants in their lives and they need to squash this ish.

One of my bosses told me “when you give money to a friend don’t expect it back but if it’s a loan always put it in writing.

I think this young man is exceptionally generous. His girlfriend recognizes that. And she's not trying to share his wallet with anyone else. He was not manipulated he just has financial obligations to his girlfriend and she's tightening up his spending

"I'm not racist. Thank you very much" that cracked me up, that was good

[TammieR-B]

This makes me feel like JM is the principle in high school with this case

[lauracurtin]

The plaintiff is extremely immature. He wants to blame the defendant for everything. He can't even handle constructive criticism. The Defendant is better off without him.

[nicklebaby]

If he realized that he offended his friend he should have just apologized and just learn from his mistake.

I feel so bad for both these guys. The defendant didn’t ask for the money, he felt guilty & grateful for the money. The Plaintiff was trying to be a good friend and help him out. But when it comes down to it, they were gifts. The defendant didn’t ask for it. When he felt guilty, he said “I’m gonna have to try and pay this back”, you can tell he didn’t feel comfortable taking it but wasn’t in a position to decline it either. I hope they can become friends again.

Why does it always mean someone is asking for money when they are telling their friends their problems. Isn't that part of being a friend? Doesn't mean they're asking for money maybe just venting to a friend.

Even if someone 'gave' you a gift, one day you should also 'pay it forward' and make a kind gesture to someone else in need, and if that person happens to be the person that 'gave' you the money, then why not just pay it back and be grateful that he helped you out, even if temporarily...
