Since you bring it up, as it happens for many years I've actually been paid very large sums of money by my clients worldwide for the proven ability to do precisely the opposite of believing everything put forward, written or otherwise.
My turn......I already realise you don't understand everything you read but do you in fact do understand any of it?
I'll refrain from offering a return of your unsolicited lifestyle advice, partly because I am no lifestyle guru, partly because it is obvious basic common sense not to ever offer that to someone whose life I am not familiar with and partly because you have just reminded me how foolish someone can make themselves appear by doing so. I'm sure that a few on here, more familiar with my life than you, will be having a little chuckle at your suggestion that I set it free.
Are you ever going to realise that you may have picked the wrong target to try and bully?

while we're all waiting for that story...
I dated an ex- con with a very very violent past. During a fierce argument early in the relationship, I was so angry I couldn't respond verbally and resorted to slapping him across the face... He was 6'4 and i'm 5'1. He froze and clenched his fists, then drawled, "You're putting yourself in a man's position when you do that. Don't do it again."
I very quietly and slowly backed away and went to the bedroom and closed the door. We lasted 8 years and that was the only incidence of violence. I am and was grateful for the warning- men and women really shouldn't ever hit each other.

I think both parties share some blame here. She is more to blame for not being more clear. If she intended to pay, she should have said, "Do you have change?", or, "I'm going to get change."
But since you're saying she only said, "yeah. yeah.", it's pretty unclear what the deal was. I think you kind of jumped to a big conclusion when you assumed that she was stiffing you, especially given that you guys were friendly before, etc. Maybe she was just totally plastered and out of it, which is no excuse, but the only thing her answers tell us for sure is that she wasn't communicating very well.
I mean, if you say, "You're not going to pay me?" and someone says, "yeah", what the heck does that mean? What does it mean if she says, "no"? Which one means she is going to pay and which means she isn't? LOL. I think just walking away concluding that she's stiffing you and then posting this thread is a little passive aggressive.
After her second, "yeah", you could say, "what do you mean?" or "well, where is the money?"
It's still more her fault for letting you walk away and not being clear, but I still think it's very possible this could have been avoided. We'll never know.
I mean no offense, and I don't think you had any malicious intentions. But I think you have some responsibility to mitigate your damages. I also don't agree with refusing the money when she eventually paid you and then saying that because you left the money laying there it means she never paid you. She's way out of line for the way she handled it but she did eventually pay. You chose to let the drama continue. At least pick up the money and donate it to charity if her money is no good anymore. JMHO.
By the way, I accept some of the blame too for actually reading this whole thread and replying.
:embarrassed2:
Wow!
I thought my ex-wife was still in TX ...somewhere. :thumbup:

Bonnie's email to me and akaTrigger
From Bonnie:
Wow, What a twisted little dude. For starters, we have matched up more than twice and I figured we would match up more until he came into the poolroom one day and started this crap that he can't beat me cuz I am a girl. Not sure why he figured he would play me on Friday...still a girl! But he did, so why not.
I waited to pay him, after I broke a hundred at the bar, by the same table we had played at. I did not see him walk out. I saw him rounding the corner in the parking lot. Guess I was supposed to chase him?
BTW, was at the same place all night. Was unaware there was a problem, or that he was in the bathroom pondering if he should kick my a$$. I assumed neither of us was worried about 40 dollars and I would see him at one of the numerous places we run into each other. Sunday tournament, Wednesday night league, Thursday tournament... I guess if the situation was reversed I might have tried contacting the person before I went online to cry to cyberspace.
As he mentioned, I found a way to get his number to fix the situation. I wonder why he didn't do the same? If someone was trying to stiff me out of a bet I don't think I would be the one to leave the poolhall. Again, it was 40 dollars, didn't know there was a problem.
He also failed to mention that when I called him, just before I called him an a$$hole, he told me he "did what he had to do". I think what you are supposed to do is ask for the money before you leave. The confrontation at the bar yesterday was laughable. Many witnesses. I paid him and he told me "this is what I am capable of" and then, "I don't need your f'in money". The waitress came over and asked if I was okay, not to lower voices.
I have to wonder about the reference to how tall I am? What does that have to do with anything? I guess it matters if you think you are going to kick my a$$.
This is all a little sad and pathetic. He could have just asked for the money and none of this would have happened but then I guess mr dragoncue =) wouldn't be getting all this positive attention.
<cuss words were changed by me (BigTruck) so they wouldn't get blocked out>

The Plot Thickens
This is setting up to be one helluva grudge match.
First the hurt party airing his side, then this version of the response from said offender.
Now the other side of it from the accused through Big Truck (I believe him)
The only thing missing is a miscarriage or a terminal disease :thumbup:
As big John McCarthy Says "Are you ready, Are You Ready...let's get it on"
This stuff is hilarious and today was especially boring in the office until I read the rest of this thread.

....and once again you evidence not being able to understand what you read.
I pointed out that it wasn't enclosed, which is something completely different from me in any way indicating that I believed it would be enclosed. Not only that but my second sentence strongly indicated that I didn't believe it.
Are you really this thick?
