Running Tally of People I Owe Money To
We all owe money to someone!* Who do you owe money to?
• Lauren, $16 (“Can you buy me a bus ticket?“)
• Matt, $20 (“Wait, did you just invite me over to hang out so you could ask me to borrow twenty bucks?” “…”)
• Alex, $40 (“Thanks, brother. I’ll text you when you can deposit my check.” “I don’t want your check. PayPal me.”)
• Parents, some large, infinite number (“Dad what’s your favorite part about being my dad?” “…”)

It’s “grazie” in Italian. :)
my boss has twice, in the four years i’ve worked at my current job, borrowed cash from me for food and never paid me back. i feel like i should be able to get her fired for this.
@wearitcounts I think if my boss ever asked me to borrow money I would use it as a charming segue to discuss the fact that I have no cash because I am seriously underpaid…jk I would hand over the cash like it was a mugging rather than incur wrath from on high.
@EvanDeSimone i kid you not, after i typed that i ran out on an errand on my lunch break and saw her heading back to the office because, as she told me, “lunch costs money and she forgot her wallet.” i was all, “heh, heh, that’s funny, UHHH GOTTA GO” and pretty much bolted. never again.
My ex and my employer both owe me money. I hate being in debt to people so I generally repay immediately.
I am, however, in debt to my parents who paid for me to go to my sister’s wedding. Although my mom said we were even after I brought her on my free trip to Japan.
I wish my friends read this blog so I could gently and indirectly remind a few of them that I’m owed a few meals and they should pay up because they have full time jobs now and I do not.
I don’t think I owe anyone money! I am owed money though!
