I lent a female neighbour £20 a week last Friday, she said she'd pay me back that weekend, and bring a bottle of vino to say thank you...
Apparently she had lost her bank card and everyone else she tried was out and she needed it there and then...
I had a text off her a week ago saying she hadn't forgot about it and her phone was playing up (suspicion aroused) ....
nothing at all since, not a squeek, I live about 80 yards away in a straight line, i told her she could put it under my door mat if i wasn't in...nothing....
I'm moving on Thursday (she doesn't know this), and was thinking of some mindless retribution before i left, assuming she doesn't come forward with it.
I can of course just go around and politely ask for the money, but may be given some more BS just to see me off...
She had a penchant for leaving her boots on her landing, so weeing in boots is an option i have considered, before i disappear into the night...I don't own bombers!
Considering my current financial situation its something i shouldn't have even done really...!
This thread is usless without pics to work out if payment in kind is a viable option.....
You're belly-aching over 20 quid??
Just go and knock on her door and ask for it.
Go and ask her for the money
You're belly-aching over 20 quid??
yes
Just to get it in before the usual too-timid-and-fragile-for-21st-century-life [s]bedwetters[/s] suspects - phone the police 😆
Anyway… is she fit?
All of the above.
is she fit?
Thickening the plot really won't help me get my money back..... and it's unrelated to the issue, well, at least i thought it was?
Maybe she's considering this a long overdue payment? 😀
I'm very much a man of principle, If someone mugs me in the street, at least they are being honest in their intentions!
i told her she could put it under my door mat if i wasn't in
If she is dishonest she could just say "i left it under the doormat as instructed"
Good luck though getting your money back.
[i] I think you need to suck it up[/i]
Sod that! She SAID SHE'D PAY HIM BACK! So now she's a liar and a thief.
Put a card up in the local phone box/public toilet with her number on it...

Perhaps you could march her round town, pimping her out in the kebab shops until she's paid off her debt?
You're belly-aching over 20 quid??
You WOULDN'T belly-ache over 20 quid??
[i]I think you need to suck it up[/i]Sod that!

If you're moving, she's not really in a position to be playing these little games.
Go round, ask her for the money, if she says she doesn't have it, say you need it by (insert date here). If she doesn't have it on that date, either suck it up or deliver your own brand of retribution...
Failing that shibboleth will give you it back as it's only £20.
[i]If she's moving[/i]
She's moving too?

make sure it's PP gift though.
Perhaps the old maxim "Never lend what you can't afford to lose" should remain at the forefront of your mind in future.
It's hardly going to ruin you, is it? It's a couple of bottles of wine or a takeaway. I'm sure you can manage without just the once, and if your craving is particularly strong, channel those feelings next time some little strumpet wafts by and asks to borrow a score.
You're belly-aching over 20 quid??You WOULDN'T belly-ache over 20 quid??
I wouldn't. I really wouldn't.
Mate owes me £1k actually which I think he's forgotten about. Note I am far from rich that happens to be a coincidence, I really wouldn't bother starting a thread on a forum about what to do over a £20 debt though.
You WOULDN'T belly-ache over 20 quid??
not to a bunch of strangers on the internet.
I'd go and ask the person who owed me money for it back.

This.

This 😉
Maybe I should start pulling this little stunt myself, and leave all my morals behind?
"Maybe she's considering this a long overdue payment?"
how long ago and how did it end?
Can we back track and understand your reasoning for providing the loan?
1/ She's fit, your flattered and consider this a way to get to know this woman more and your wondering how good she is in bed?
2/ She's fit, your hopeful of sex. Short but pointed thought process.
3/ You were drunk and she's ugly inside and out but you were hopeful of sex. Still.
4/ Your a decent human being and wanted to do the right thing......and she's fit revert back to 1/
Either way you have been screwed except not in the way you had probably hoped for. Another way of looking at this as you have had a lucky escape and the cost was only £20 rather than emotional.
Or how's about:
5/ Your hoping shell teach slowmart how to use an apostrophe.

And once you've replastered her outhouse ask her for your money back.
I think you need to suck it up
..or get her to
replastered her outhouse
LOLZ
Put on some false eyelashes, a dash of No7 blusher, a skirt, tights with a hole in, a low cut top and some heels then go round hers and whilst knocking on her front door, lean forward and breath heavily whilst asking for your £20.
Let us know the reaction.. 😉

She has a thing for dressing up, i doubt she'd be shocked!
Getting it on with Wonder Woman was a highlight 🙂
"replastered her outhouse"
Is that a new finishing move?
Sounds like he has already.
£20 well spent I'd say.

Great!
Can I borrow £20 please?
Go and see her - tell her you're skint and need the money. I'm sure she'll be reasonable and pay you back.
Before any thoughts of retribution - you must speak to her!
Let us know how it goes.
As for making an issue over £20 - you are quite right so to do. She did!
Good luck.
🙂 much love to the onsiders

That's not an old adage I'm aware of, unless you were betting on her paying you back in kind!
£20 is neither here nor there,its a bit embarrassing to go begging for but yet again to much to just let it go,she probably does this all the time so I wouldn't feel alone about it,bit immature to go doing stuff to her,do you have an expensive bike? She has probably seen you showing off on it therefore thinks you have the cash to throw around,if anyone wants to lend money I'm in the same position as them......SKINT !!!
t's a couple of bottles of wine
Couple? Six, at least... 🙂
An ex housemate of mine scurried off back to Peterborough or somewhere owing me £240.
Eventually, after much piss taking etc from my mates and whilst slightly tipsy (ok, completely rat arsed) I called her and left a voicemail threatening that if I didn't get the money I was going to drive down and break her legs and that she had better watch her sister's back as I'd break hers as well.
Moment I put the phone down I realised what a complete tit I had been. A) I had no intention of driving anywhere and breaking anything but b) she had a nice voicemail message she could play to the police and land me in a world of trouble.
A week later a cheque arrived for £240 - never have I been so relieved!
I am not suggesting you take this course of action.
Cheers
Danny B
go out for a bike ride and / or ask for it back
Has an automatic filter been applied to stw for certain phrases? I'm sure I wrote something about visiting her back door
Danny B, your dark side has been emerging over the last few threads you've posted on?!

I had similar with a neighbour - agreed with everyone sharing the same access road a punitive sum towards the work I did on it (filling in potholes etc). £25 each to cover the Type 1 and a whacker plate hire. I took two days off work and froze my ass off doing it.
Everyone paid up (almost all gave extra - wine/beers etc as a thank you). This bint - nothing. I went round a week later and asked her directly and she denied knowing how much she owed me so I told her again and she promised she'd drop a cheque round. Of course it never happened and (despite my wife's protestations) decided I was above chasing her for it and decided to forget it. Never spoke to her again though. Cow.
this one was once living abroad with some dodgy Russian mobster type,...really the signs were there...

I charge £20 for storytelling....
anyway just text her,...she harped on about coming to see this apartment before I left...
so just told her she's running out of time because i'm leaving later this week to come and take a look...
i'm not expecting an answer, just hope it made her heart race a little faster
You ARE holding out for the old 5-knuckle-shuffle aren't you! You old rascal, you!
...
You'll never see that £20. But as you're moving out, why not get another neighbour to lend you £40. Tell them neighbour no1 will pay it back.
😉Ninja edit hey? Now it doesn't make sense
You could enlist the services of Phil Mitchell 😉
cockdrop her, its the only way
