You know what, I'm happy Ethan is in a place where he can afford to pay people back
Also amazing that he kept track of his debts over all this years!
Honestly, he probably just forgot and found a random slip of paper with a note on it while moving or something.
Still even to find the strip and transfer the money is amazing to me. Maybe I just have low standards though ;-)
I know a guy who is the opposite of this in a way. I, as a joke, decided to remind him that he owed me $7 for pizza that he never paid me for back when he was part of one of my DnD groups. He got mad, insisted that he already paid it, and then blocked me and started telling coworkers that I was trying to steal from him. (We used to work together, no one believes him but he keeps trying to tell people that, but only to people who knew me for some reason which is how I know.)
Oh no, you're trying to steal $7!
Overreaction of the century right there.
He still hasn't gotten over being kicked from the group because he made the other players uncomfortable, one of whom still works with him, and he blames me because I wasn't willing to kick the rest of the group instead. (Yes, he actually suggested kicking every other player and just finding new ones who would, and I quote, "agree with me more")
Ah yes, classic "everyone but me is the problem".
I tried paying back a friend for lunch and he didn't let me now I've lived for years knowing owe him $18
Order a pizza to their house. Done.
As soon as they refuse repayment. It is gift. And you don't have to worry about it
Depends on the culture. With the Chinese it's all about insisting, or being a sneaky bastard so they can't refuse.
Steven He summarises the feeling well: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zoHztpjPFEE
Wait you're not supposed to sneak it into their pocket/bag?
I have my friend a cell phone when he was struggling.
He insisted he paid me back when he gets back on his feet.
He died before he paid me back. I like to believe that this would be him if he was still with us. 🥺
They won the lottery.
Probably also paid for WinZip as well.
Having a minor crisis realizing that 9th grade was far more than seven years ago for me. This is fine.
I’m 35. 9th grade isn’t even on my radar anymore.
My kids are closer to 9th grade than I am.
Did you study for your 29th grade final exams? They're tomorrow and if you fall you get bumped back to high school
Oh geez you promise?!
I get dreams about being in high school and about having to take exams or being behind on them and I’m always like “why am I even here I have a career already” and it’s always stupid.
I get those, too! I end up remembering I have a master's degree. I tell high school to pound sand, then I go off flying or something fun.
Yeah I usually realize it’s a dream at some point in those ones and then I get to practice shooting energy beams out of my mouth or something else that’s fun until I wake up.
Ethan is going through some kind of My Name is Earl situation right now
I did this after i borrowed 5$ from a friend, then for reasons vanished from the face of the earth for 10 years. After i made myself known again i got in contanct with people and paid off any debts i had, which included that 5$.
seems a bit young to be on step 9
Or Ethan is newly-single and thinking that's a good icebreaker.
I have trouble making friends and breaking the ice too. I'm going to go around giving out money to break the ice too. Is $7 enough? How much conversation time do I get for that?
Lawful good would have taken inflation into account and paid $8.91
Depends - LG might have paid $7 because future inflation wasn't part of the terms of the loan (and is not normally).
That sounds like either LN or LW (Lawful Wangrod)
Chaotic good might even be something more like breaking into your bank and erasing part of your debt by way of repayment.
