People Who Borrow Money From You

People Who Borrow Money From You.

Ever had a friend or relative who borrows money from you yet never pays back on time or gives you the cold shoulder when you come to collect.

I view giving someone some money to borrow & when they don't pay, view it as a investment to get them out of your life. Harass them a couple of times and shame them into avoiding you.

For about $40, I was able to get rid a good for nothing cousin. I tried to collect because at the time I was a college student making $5.25/hr. Its been over a decade and He can't face me cause of the money he owed me and stays away. I project to have saved nearly 10 times more money on food, rent, and cable because he no longer crashes at my crib when visiting town.

That's nothing.........just don't let Somali relatives find out your cell phone.

[AbdiWahab252]

Gedo,

That is when I put on my Chinese accent & say "Hu, u waan. U got wong numa

Plus if they can afford to call, they ain't dirt poor or starving.

I only send money to those whom I never hear from cause they don't call.

Those are the desperate folks, too poor to call anyone.

it's funny how things work,why do people look so innocent and needy when they ask you for money,but when you try to collect your money back,they look at your like your crazy and get offended like, 'dam nigga i said, im gonna pay you back',you dont have to ask me evertime you see me'.


that's why i adopted international code of.

2 things you should never as a man;

1.keys to his car

i have people borrow money from me all the time and they never pay me back, its a somali thing. it's not just money either, they borrow everything. i don't know how they could it though, xishood la'aan eh? its all good though.

[CK-RED]

have you ever borrowed something for so long that you think it's yours?

[SummerRain]

I have a huge problem saying No to people if I have what they ask for. For some reason I used to always expect them to return it but nowadays I just dont expect anything back wallahi.

[AbdiWahab252]

Ismahan,

You are too soft abayo.

I say no.

Money ruins relationships.

[SummerRain]

Soft?..that I am, I take good care of my skin using this excellent dermatologist approved formula. On a serious note, I agree Money does ruin relationship. I used to have difficulty understanding why people dont give back borrowed stuff until I came to the conculsion that its the Somali way

[LiQaaye_TDH]

Guilty

I own people like something around 3.000 pounds im still hiding from them fukers...

[PragmaticGal]

I'm the kind of person you all hate then. I borrow things and forget to return them all the time, so I avoid borrowing at all costs. On the other hand, I give people money or things and forget I did. It's always a pleasant surprise when someone gives you something and tells you that you gave it to them a while ago, but you don't remember. It's like a pay raise

[AbdiWahab252]

Ismahan,

Ever heard "People act funny around money."

I don't give loans but if I am forced to give, I give a fraction as a "grant"

Somali folks are pros at separating u from your money with great hard luck emotional stories that captivate you and next thing your hand is in your wallet forking over the green.

[Spragga Benz]

Liqaaye, that makes two of us. We need to stay the fock away from this thread like we do from the people we owe money too.

[MJ-Pride]

If I Borrow Money someone, I usually dont' bother them if I have money, but once i get broke i go and find them and ask them to return the favor. I dont' ask them they money that I awe them. I just ask them to borrow some money from them. If they dont' give me anything, I let it go and wait for second time. If they still don't wana borrow me some, I will Let them know woz up and consider them cheap and untrusworty.
