Being a dick to ask for the money back?

[Youresogolden]

Went out a few weeks ago for mums play date/brunch. I ended up paying for a friend there as she forgot her purse, big confusion as paid for her drink but then she took the change given by the waiter (which was mine) so she owed me £10. She texted later laughing about her mistake and saying we’d have to meet and she’d give it to me. I said no worries etc and left it at that. We’re due to go for another play date/brunch with lots of mums on Friday, arranged by her as she lives nearby. Would I be being a dick to text beforehand asking if she could give me the tenner so I can get brunch for Dd and myself? Or should I wait to see if she offers to pay for it..? She’s very scatty, disorganised and forgetful, so she may have forgotten..just I’m quite skint this week and it would help?

It doesn’t matter if she’s skint, it wasn’t her money to take, it’s not like you even lent her the money either. I really wouldn’t give up on this. It’s the whole principle of it. Some people just don’t have any morals and you aren’t going to look petty asking for it back. It will just annoy her that you keep asking as she’s banking on you giving up. It’s money that she has taken from you.

She has stolen from you. That change she took was yours, it was never, ever hers to spend! So this whole 'I'll try to get it back to you but I'm skint' must mean SHE has spent YOUR money. How fucking dare she? I'm livid on your behalf.
