"okp: you make the call." Fri Jul-10-15 06:08 AM by Binlahab
The following is a total hypothetical and has nothing to do with the real life of the person known as "binlahab" #whatsupnsa
Next door neighbors adult son is a handyman.
had him do some work on la hacienda, paid him in cash. neither of us had change so he owes me $10.
that was a few days ago. like last wknd.
its been almost a week in other words. still dont have my $10.
dude is at his dads house all the time. im bound to see him this wknd
my question is do i be like hey neighbor wheres my money?
or just be like HEY neighbor? HINT HINT HINT
?
please dont waste your time in telling me dont worry abt it big deal he saved you time and all that...this isnt abt $10. this is abt a motherfucker owing me money and not paying me. #principalities
am i going to beat this fool down over $10, of course not. he works with his hands he'd kick my ass (id shoot him before he had the chance)
BUT! i mean way my insecurities are set up, i wouldnt be able to look at myself in the mirror if i saw him and DIDNT say something

handled the same day. You couldn't ride past the quick stop and break a $20, go back home, hand him a $10, and ask him for one of your $20's back?
Did you agree on the price beforehand? Why not get the exact amount from jump?
Either way, letting it go on this long has default put you in the asshole position since it's not a lot of money, so just go ahead and be an asshole about it.

Personally, I would probably let him have it if h did excellent work. But, if I needed the $10, th n I would ask.
I had a TV installation guy do some work for me and promised to send some socket covers and other stuff a lil over a month ago and has yet to receive it. However, he also left his step ladder, so when I decide that I need the stuff promised,mother I will hit him up.
Hypothetically, the here is no reason why anyone should be afraid to ask for what's rightfully theirs, especially if the person agreed to give whatever was owed. People forget shit, become busy with other projects, etc. if you don't ask, then you will never get what is owed.

or did he just do the work and then was like....that felt like $60 worth of work? --------------------------------------- it's true what they say...people are strange, when you're strangers.
