Glad you are feeling better... hope Dave feels better soon, too! These things happen

And that dude sucks. Thats the only problem with letting people pay you with things other than money, sometimes they start to pull the "i'll get you that soon" crap. And you can't make people pay you. That sucks too. All you can do is call him, complain, and hope that he stops dicking you around! Point is: I feel your pain. And that dude sucks. Unleash some wrath on him. haha

Did you try just talking to him about it? I often find that's the best option. Either way, I hope you get it sorted out.

I've been trying to talk to him about it for two weeks. Lol. He's just a dick who thinks the world owes him something. He doesn't get that it's a big deal, but as a dealer he should know that you don't fuck with people's money. We'll text back and forth a bit, but when I try to actually get something moving he stops answering me. I offered to come to him and bring him some shit that he left at my house! AND I charged him HALF of what I normally charge for dogsitting, which is already cheap. AND his dog destroyed some of my dogs toys, her water/food dish, humped her, and bit her. And he's talking about how I didn't feed his dog and how I ruined the crate, etc. I just don't get people like that. Doesn't it take a lot of effort to be that much of a dick? He doesn't know anything about paying his own bills because his girlfriend's daddy pays for everything (he owns 6 perfume stores?) So he has NO FUCKING CLUE what it's like to rely on side jobs like that to pay your bills. And I STILL let him pay me in trees. UGH! Sorry. Should've put this post under "bitching".

Let it out, girl. Seriously that guy is a dick. I can picture him now with the additional details from your venting. haha! I know people like that. Well I have known people like that. Gladly now I don't deal with people like that, I don't have to. I purged all that bullshit from my life.

And you're right, it does actually take effort to be that much of a dick. Someday he will get a wake up call. Is his girlfriend as much of an idiot as he is? If she's not, or even if she is, someday she's going to wake up and realize that she's living with a complete ass who treats people (probably her included) like trash. And then maybe she will leave him, and with leaving him she will give him the biggest reality check ever. "How do you like paying bills now, dickhead!" Sorry.. now I'm starting to rant because people like this really piss me off!

Eventually he will either pay up or you will get sick of trying to get him to pay up.... he's hoping you'll eventually give up, I'm sure. Like I said, I know his type. You should have Dave go rough him up, if Dave's still there. Or something. Or you could take him on Judge Judy (minus the payment in trees part of course...haha) Anyway, it's not right. And it sucks because like you said you rely on these side jobs to pay your bills. So I'm sorry this guy is a dick. And fuck him for making up all these things about his dog's crate being messed up and you not feeding his dog. He's such an ass. I wish I could smack him. Seriously.

SUPPOSEDLY he's coming by today. And I'm not sending Dave to "rough up" this little guido gym rat lol unless he brought a shotgun. I just can't be worrying about this kind of shit you know? I have a million and a half other things on my mind. I don't want to have to go to small claims court for something like this. I just want to be paid for the work I did. I'm not even asking for what I deserve, just something.
