I cannot get rid of two people.
One who is a male was my friend for 10 years, I know he wanted more than a friendship with me but I did inform him this would never happen. He started to insult anyone i got with, making snide comments and when it all came to blows, I was on benefits i lent £300 from him. He said i can pay this back in £50 a month. Which was great, we ended up having an argument and he said i was starting arguments to not pay him back.
It was around 10 pm at night, I told him i will give him the money tomorrow to which he said no he wants it now and he kept texting me abuse like "you better give me back my money" "you're are loser bum" ect
I didnt have internet or phone banking.
The next day i took out a loan of £150 and i had £150 in my account, this is all the money i had and i paid him everything back.
Even though he agreed to the £50 installments.

Anyway because of this i cut him off, year later he text me like nothing happened saying "why are we still not talking"
i just blocked him and he phoned me on private number to which i just hung up the phone.
Why is he not getting the message?

other person was a female who i only knew a year. I actually posted a thread on here how creepy she is when i didnt reply to her saying things like "you are lucky i dont know where you live"
I cut her off as she isnt a nice person and a user.
shes another one who doesnt get the hint, ive blocked her number so the other day i get a message via her email to my ichat saying "hi i hope you are happy"

If someone blocks you why not just leave them alone? There is obviously a reason.

It's a regional thing. North West Smile

Isn't it true that other languages have the same word for both?

Sorry OP to derail but I think we've established YANBU.Grin

At least the phrase "neither a lender nor a borrower be" covers both bases.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be.

It's a good motto to live by. Don't borrow money/stuff from other people, don't lend money/stuff to other people, and you won't have to deal with the fallout. As an added bonus you won't have to worry about the difference between lending and borrowing.

Regional or not, its still wrong.

Don't borrow money from weirdos. HTH.

Penfold007 · 13/12/2015 22:05

Regional differences aside you owe £300, pay it back.

BockCadger · 13/12/2015 22:16

She paid it back.

YANBU. They both sound like dicks. Change your numbers!
