Comments on: Why People Need to Pay https://www.rnningfool.com/22355/people-need-pay Burning Money Tue, 06 Dec 2016 20:54:58 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1 By: Tom Stortz https://www.rnningfool.com/22355/people-need-pay#comment-10663 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 20:54:58 +0000 http://www.rnningfool.com/?p=22355#comment-10663 I’m fascinated by how people are able to move on from the truth in order to stroke their ego or enhance their position. “I saw you cross the foul line.” “I see you not reaching for you wallet.” “I saw you hit that ball out of bounds.” I don’t even think they think they are doing anything wrong. I’d imagine the response would be “what’s the big deal?” It’s not a big deal. It’s whether you live your life geared towards complete honesty because that principal is one of success and respect. If you want to muddle the rules and live in a land of lunacy, I don’t mind playing with you, but we won’t be playing for money.

I was in a fantasy baseball league where one guy never paid (and I lost out on $55 cause of it). He wasn’t invited back the next year, but that money is never coming.

He should’ve immediately walked to the panel and adjusted the score to a foul instead of a strike. Instead, he walked back like there was nothing wrong and we have to be the “dick” by calling him out to fix it when really he’s the dick for not being proactive about it. In that situation, he knew he was being a dick.

Me not paying you for bowling last night was a genuine forget. For that reason, I don’t think it’s a dick move at all for you to ask me for the money. I’ve grown more comfortable telling people to Venmo me if they owe me and I think they forgot.
