Having an unreliable friend can cause a lot of distress.

This man has a friend who promised to drive him somewhere in exchange for some money.

His friend canceled on him at the last minute but kept most of the money.

He really wants his money back.

Read the full details of the story below.

“Friend” owes me money

I paid my “friend” $190 to drive me about two and a half hours so I can pick up the car I was buying.

We planned this for almost a month.

His friend canceled on him at the last minute.

The day comes around.

About three hours before, he texted me saying:

“Sorry, can’t make it. I’ll send your money back when I get my settlement check from my divorce lawsuit.”

His friend only gave him back a small fraction of what he had paid him.

Am I wrong for being upset about this?

It has been over a week.

He has sent me $25, and claims he’s going to send $25 weekly.

I didn’t send him the money weekly, and it wasn’t a loan.

The friend seems to be using his money on bills.

He says I’m “tripping.”

He had no concern for me when canceling at the last minute, and he even demanded that I send more than what I was planning.

He wasn’t sending the money because, at first, he didn’t have it, and now that he does have it, he wants to use it on bills.

He doesn’t think it’s fair.

I don’t think that’s right?

AITA?

I shouldn’t have even paid him to take me, but at the time, I didn’t think anyone else would.

His friend really needs to pay him back.
