A friend messes up badly: will you view him/her differently forever?

15 Comments

Let's say that today is your special day: You're getting married to the love of your life at 4 PM! One problem though. Today at 3 PM, is the deadline to pay the Wedding Planner in the amount of $3,000. You and your Fiance/Fiancee are so occupied preparing for the Wedding that neither of you can spare the time to drive there. You both then decide, to relinquish the responsibility of paying the Wedding Planner to a best friend of both of yours, Christy.

Christy gladly accepts the errand, but what she didn't tell you both was that today was her deadline too. She owes her Landlord $3,000 in overdue rent and the amount must be paid by 2 PM or else she'll be evicted. Christy looks at her watch and sees that the time is 1:12 PM. She's desperate and decides to bet the $3,000 on one game of Roulette at a nearby casino in hopes of winning $3,000 for herself. She loses everything, and panics frantically.

It is now 3:55 PM. The Wedding is almost ready to start, but Christy is nowhere to be found. A moment later the Wedding Planner walked in with an angry look on her face and said, " Alright, Weddings' over! I did not receive payment for todays' Wedding Services and I'm shutting everything down! ". You and your Fiance/Fiancee look at each other in disbelief and that very moment Cristy is seen running towards both of you. She starts explaining everything that happened, apologizes, and promises to pay back the money she lost.

If a friend messed up this badly, would you view him/her differently forever?

I'd view this friend differently forever. 39
I wouldn't view a friend differently because of this. 10
I'd view the friend differently, but most likely not forever. 24
I don't know what to think if this happened. 16

    I would be furious at first, but I do think with time I could forgive her if she was really sorry... Don't think I would ever trust her with money again though...

      Yes, this is exactly what happened to me and my Fiancee. It actually happened back in December of 2010. We we're so angry, and my Fiancee actually tried kicking her ass, but I held her back, even though deep down a part of me wanted to see it happen. Me and my Fiancee are thinking of talking to her again, because we do feel bad about pushing her to the side, but things we're never really the same anymore after that, not only for Cristy, but for us too.

    That's a pretty big fuck-up!

    But in all seriousness, you shouldn't trust anyone with $3000 of your own cash, regardless of the situation.

    And if she really is a best friend, then you would know that she's in financial distress before you gave her the money (don't say you didn't know). If you didn't know she was in financial distress, then you are not a very good friend.

    Time to whip out your credit card to pay for your mistakes.

      Cristy didn't tell us anything about her Financial problems until she came running towards us explaining everything. Prior to that, we thought she was doing fine. If we knew this was happening, we would've helped her.

    Yes! Forever...I'd think......my friend Christy is a fucking gambling addict!
    That is a clear cut sign of an addict's behavior.
