Just realized my old roommate's 'I'll Venmo you Friday' turned into a 4 month chase over $212
My roomie Pete moved out in March owing me $212 for two months of shared internet and a grocery run, and every single excuse was a new one, like his card got frozen or his new place had 'bank issues.' I tried a group chat nudge, a written note on his door, and finally showing up at his work parking lot, which took 118 days start to finish for money he could have sent in 5 seconds. So here's my debate: do you eat the loss and keep the peace, or keep chasing because it's the principle, and where do you draw the line on the amount?
