I had just spent some money buying drinks for my friend, who had refused to buy me a single can of Coke when I asked.
I had spent about $300 in all excluding my original share and because he knew that I was paying for him, he had gone to town on all sorts of drinks but when it came to me, he refused to even buy me a single can.
Most stingy friend that I have ever made
I felt so angry. I had been so generous to him, and he was so stingy. I had thought that we were friends, but now I felt like I had been taken advantage of.
It was just a can of Coke which cost less than $2 and he did not want to even buy if got me when I asked him if he could help me get a can first as I needed to go to the toilet.
He gave me an excuse by saying that he would wait for me outside the toilet before we go and get drinks, indirectly telling me that he either wants me to get the bill at the convenience store again or asks me to pay for myself.
I sort of told him off a little and said I was thirsty and pleaded for him to go and get a can of Coke for me first, but he pretended like he did not hear anything at all.
When we got to the convenience store, I took a can of Coke and proceeded to the cashier.
I asked him if he wanted anything and he told me that he wasn’t thristy.
However after we walked out of the store, he changed his mind and said that he was thirsty and then went back to get a bottle of drink and paid for himself.
It was clear as F that he did not want to pay for me.
Decided not to hang out with him as often anymore
My friend and I never talked about what happened that day. He never apologized or acknowledged that he had taken advantage of me. He just acted like nothing had happened.
I thought that we were friends, but he showed me that day that he was just a user. I can’t believe that he was so stingy and ungrateful.
I will never forget that moment, and I will never be so generous with someone who doesn’t appreciate it.
