So I'm pretty much out of money from the $8000 I earned last summer. Most of it, I admit, was spent foolishly... but f**k it, you only live once, right?
Anyway, my asswipe roommate hasn't paid me for internet and my other roommate for electricity since November. Last week, I pulled the wires out of his lightswitch and outlets, cutting off electricity to his room (he's not exactly the "handy" type and thus had no idea how to fix it himself). He gave me about a quarter of the money he owes me (was $90, is now $65), and promised to pay both me and my other roommate back by the end of this week. So far, no money has been forthcoming. I have another friend that I lent $120 to in September, and he's only paid back $60 of it so far. I NEED MONEY DAMN IT. I've tried asking for it nicely, and I get either no response or an extremely noncommittal response along the lines of "I'll have it soon". I lent this money to these people that I considered to be friends out of the goodness of my heart, and they don't pay me back for six months and treat me like s**t when I ask for MY money back in return. I don't want to be an as*hole, but I really don't know what else to do... I have $400 in bills due by Saturday, and only $310 to my name at the moment...
