..and I'm holding your hand and pouring virtual Wine

OhWesternWind · 17/03/2013 19:28

Can't believe he's acting like such a twat. It's just the last thing you need on top of everything else. Really poor behaviour.

I'm hoping he'll reply soon if he's on Skype now. Got everything crossed.

lubeybooby · 17/03/2013 19:31

Got a reply. being a total asshole. brb

BeforeAndAfter · 17/03/2013 19:38

Hmm. is he whining or is it an outright "no"?

lubeybooby · 17/03/2013 19:41

He was whining. Saying he didn't appreciate being asked for money 'out of the blue' and 'guilt tripped'

I've put him straight, very politely, along with the screenshot of the conversation where he agreed.

Super nice and lovely, I was.

He was arsey though. Ha. I'm winning.

Agree with Snape. Whether he pays or not you've already won. Nice and icy does it Grin

lubeybooby · 17/03/2013 19:47

I know, winefiend, I know. I am channeling my rage into super polite businesswomanwhowillwin mode.

He said he'd give it to you around the time when it was done if I remember correctly so nearly a month ago and gave you less then than he was meant to. Am also virtually hand holding

BeforeAndAfter · 17/03/2013 19:52

most men say they like facts so keep giving him facts. I think draft forms for the small claims court are very factual.

You could go back and tell him that "out of the blue" would be asking him for 50% and you're only asking for 20% per your contract (use the word contract, it IS a contract).

Icy and factual does it ...

Give him good fact girl.

lubeybooby · 17/03/2013 19:54

Yep, all factual and polite. Contract is a good word.

I'll use that if he's an asshole again in the next reply. Or if there's no reply.

lubeybooby · 17/03/2013 19:54

can I just say at this point that i love you lot for giving me the nudge to do it :o

OP posts:
lubeybooby · 17/03/2013 19:59

Right.

compose me a reply please before I explode with THE RAGE

"To me 3 weeks of no contact and then requests for money seems quite out of the blue.

I gave you everything I could on the day and its left me short too.

I don't really know why you want another £150 from me, or £350 in total, for a £535 treatment"

KinNora · 17/03/2013 20:02

Ah TT, you fool, crossing the vipers. What were you thinking ?

BeforeAndAfter · 17/03/2013 20:05

A quick afterthought - cowards don't like confrontation so he won't want to meet you to pay cash so give him the option of wiring you the money by offering your bank details. I wouldn't be inclined to offer him the option of posting you a cheque - you want it all done in real-time so you can keep the momentum; you're more likely to win with momentum. Procrastinators tend to bore us up-and-at-em sort and then we can't be arsed and go off in search of a new mouse to play with... don't let that happen to this rodent.

JulietteMontague · 17/03/2013 20:06

Lubey he's begging for it isn't he. Yep, give him fact.

OhWesternWind · 17/03/2013 20:07

Angry. Bloody fool

Lubey, go and walk round the block or punch your pillow or something, get a bit of that rage out.

But really, how bloody dare he?

JulietteMontague · 17/03/2013 20:07

B&A has totally got the measure of him.

lulubellaboozle · 17/03/2013 20:10

Wtf? how about, as part of a more considered reply,

'you gave me everything you could on the day and it's left me short'

Well, consider yourself fortunate that "on the day" all you had to do was part with some money, as I actually had to go through the procedure, which was a lot more painful that parting with some cash.

lubeybooby · 17/03/2013 20:10

I still need a cutting, factual reply.

The three weeks of no contact... excuse me but he hasn't contacted me either, and this is humiliating so I was actually hoping to be in a flush enough position not to have to trouble him for it. I paid for it via overdraft which was temporary and being called in soon... hence approaching him now.

Helphelphelp with a factual reply including the word contract

OP posts:
BeforeAndAfter · 17/03/2013 20:19

"I had thought highly of you and believed you when you agreed to pay me XX. I didn't contact you straight away as I needed time to recover from the physical impact on my body and wanted to give you time to come to terms with what had happened. I also quietly hoped that you would 'do the decent thing' and honour your agreement without my request.

As you agreed to pay XX I made a decision to have the procedure done privately which has now put me in a position where, I'm embarrassed to say, I am unable to meet other bills. It boils down to the fact that I relied on you and, as much as I hate to use legal-style language, I relied on the contract between us.

Please send me the money you agreed to pay to XX account. I truly do not want any further bad memories between us."

Lubey up to you at this stage as to whether or not you use the small claims court threat. I think you are bouncing this rodent on your paw.

JulietteMontague · 17/03/2013 20:19

Of topic this knobber is clearly getting his kicks trying to set women up. Against my better judgement I replied to a one sentence message and got a very polite message back claiming he'd talked to his gf last night and she would like to try meeting a woman. Trouble is, he had clearly copied and pasted as he had added my name but forgotten to remove the name of some other woman. Knobber.

Bant · 17/03/2013 20:25

Off topic too, but I thought it may cheer people up from general twattishness:

This is just brilliant. I especially love #11

Also I should point out that the subject of #19, Rob Roy, is my great-great-great-great-great grandfather. Apparently.
