What the hell is wrong with him???
Find a Conversation

First it started off with small chat, he mentioned he saw my car the other at my work (why was he looking for my car? he drives all day, but still, why would he drive through my parking lot and look for it?)
So whatever. I thought he was calling to take me up on that offer to be friends (since thats what hesaid he wanted). Shortly after, the conversation turned sour. He asked me to reimburse him for a week's worth of rent he paid when we lived together. He figures he's entitled to it because i kicked him out a week earlier than he was supposed to leave.
This is what kills me. The money he paid only covered HALF the rent, NOT utilities. I paid for the phone, hydro, internet, etc. He only paid half the RENT, and utilities are NOT included in that. So i told him. Once upon a time i may have considered giving him a weeks worth of rent back (it's only $50), but its been 3 months since, i've forgotten about it, havent talked to him, and i simply don't have it right now anyway. but besides the point, I dont feel i should have to give it to him, especially after all this time. I polietly REMINDED him that i was the one who also got him his CAREER (i told him about the position, gave his resume to my boss, gave him a good reference, AND called to wake his ass up for the interview.), i ALSO found him his apartment he's in now, god forbid he would have had to move back home. plus i've done MANY countless other things for him. I believe I don't owe him ANYTHING. If you wan't to get all technical, he owes ME.
Am i wrong?? Should I be giving him this $50 back?? it's ONLY $50.00.... which i don't have, and something must have triggered him to call me up, and ask about it after all this time... i dont know what, or why....

But more importantly (and this is a question only you can answer), will he go away quietly? Or is he the type that will ride you about it until there's no tomorrow?
If it were me, just for my own peace of mind, I'd give him the $50 and then tell him to lose my number. People who only call when they want something get on my last nerve.
All the best,
Heymum
If you add up all the utilities i paid for alone, thats over 200 dollars.
Im not sure if he'd keep fighting for it.. especially for such a little amount. he IS cheap, and he DOES lose sleep over money issues, and god forbid anyone owe him money. He's almost worse than the mafia.
But because i told him where to go, and i wasn't very nice about it, i don't think he's be THAT stupid to try again. If he is, he's in for a surprise.
But its good to know someone else agrees that i shouldn't have to give him the 50.
I mean don't act like its such a big deal to you and he will probably act suprised you gave him the money. He just called to get you fired up and to argue with you. I mean laugh and think he has to call his ex 3 months later and ask for $50, thank god you are not with him, obviously he can't let things go. What a loser. Kill him with kindness !
Its up to you wether or not you want to give him the money ! Good Luck
