There was no money stolen from the Chiefsplanet Fanduel league that Hootie organized.

Also, if the dude lost his job less than 2 months ago and doesn't have $800 to his name, he's a dumbass anyway.

Cut off a pinky, just to get his attention l

And I love to fight but never loan money to anyone but a friend. I also never fight over money, if they don't pay then it's a cheap way to find out someone wasn't really your friend.

But then they better never make light of owing me because wet aren't friends any more.

Did you say his device on his car is one where he has to blow sober to start it?

If so, there's you answer right there. Alcoholics will always spend money on alcohol first. We had some renters -- 'friends" -- who got behind on rent. one month, then two, then three. Then they paid half a month, then were four months behind. I was not near the house otherwise I would've paid them a visit.

Once we evicted them I went to the house. The number of booze, wine and beer bottles filled three large trash bins, with some left over. the place had so many empty bottles in the laundry room it looked like a fricken carnival ring toss game.

No leniency otherwise you're just enabling.
But i'd be supportive. Sounds like he does need help. Help him help you.

Yeah, you're right. I'm ****ing pissed he's putting me in this position. I've already gotten 4 texts in the last hour or so from coworkers who have seen I'm going to win this thing and offered to come with me to pay him a visit. I'm going to send him a text explaining that he's going to have to find a solution and get us paid, and that if he doesn't come see us, we're coming to see him. Poor ****er. ****.

Don't escalate it. He may run or get sketchy. Be firm but supportive. See how it goes. At least he was upfront about telling you he doesn't have the money.

Yeah, I'm not going to put anything crazy in writing. We know where he lives though. I'm also inclined to check up and make sure he's not working. If he can give me a firm date on when he can get it paid, I'd be willing to give him a little time as well.

Problem is, the commissioner lost his job with us and doesn't have the money to pay me. He's not a violent, fighting type of individual. Kicking his ass won't print money, but would probably motivate him to sell his PS4, and other shit off to get me paid. Would you do it? I'm really not inclined too, but there is a principle behind this so I am genuinely considering leaning on him to motivate him to get me paid.

The fact is, if it were me under no circumstances would I spend the money if I were the commish. At all. And everyone already tells me I'm too nice. The thing is, I really don't need the money, but could definitely use it, and if the roles were reversed I'd hope someone would show me some grace. While I wouldn't expect it too happen, I really do believe you should be the change you wish to see in the world. I'm pretty conflicted here. Genuinely. What would you do?

Screwing with other people's money never ends well!

Buy him a bus ticket to come visit uncle Bwana and uncle rockymntchief. We can take him on a one way bear sight seeing atv trip waaaaaaaaaaaaaay up in the mountains.

I was so scarred by that, I have not worn, nor owned a pair of jorts since then. I'm going out to buy a pair tomorrow. One for Bug too.

Its FF, do what your soul tells you to and never get into another league with that dude again either way.

Dont give it too much thought just live and learn.

Honestly, if I listen to my soul, he's $500 richer.

And then he'll likely do the same thing to someone else.

How will your soul feel about that?
