someone you think is a friend tells you something is free

you partake

they then inform you they want to be paid a week after the fact as they have changed their mind. as it was a service rather than product you can’t return it. you had provided a free service to them, which costs significantly more when you provide it to your clients.

do you

a) laugh and say **** off
b) same as example a
c) err, struggling for any other course of action

?

EDIT – Unfortunately it’s not sex related.

100% A

A friend wouldn’t even ask. You’re being taken for a ride.

Was it dwarves with trays of cocaine on their heads? It usually is.

Email them this thread.

Talk to them to find out why they’ve changed their mind.
Then a).

A, you can’t offer something with conditions, thing is done then change your mind. P*** take!!

Happened to me. I did a) but a bit more polite.

depends, do you have a hammer or coat hanger?

Roughly how much are they looking for?

Pfft, what they have done to you is still not on.

I want to hear her side of the story.

What you need is some rope, a metal bucket, some rats and a blow torch…he’ll soon change his mind.

subtle deadly, but correct.

although this is not in the context of a relationship.

there was an opportunity for a business partnership, she made assumptions, dug a big hole, then dug a bit more. we discussed it, and as a result of things she said i feel that she has serious problems and I wouldn’t work with her under any circumstances.

I’ve decided to ask her to confirm that she believes that it’s reasonable to alter a verbal agreement after the service has been delivered and expect payment when previously a service has been described as free of charge. if she confirms that she’s happy to do this, I’ll invoice her for the work I did for her.

In reality I don’t expect payment from her, just want to make her see how stupid it is.

anyway. it’s a shame.

Thing is, unless you’re actually going to describe what she’s done, we cant give the traditional balanced STW reaction 🙂

I’ve described the situation enough DD, tell me I’m right dammit
