Hey fuckers... In need of some advice
I have a good friend (10+ years) whom I have been friends with since before even discovering the giggletwig. (been sparking for about 3 years) and all the guy ever does is mooch my stuff.
He will call and say "wanna hang?" when really that means "I'm going to come over and smoke your stuff, and never EVER throw down or match up later. This has been going on for about 10...11 months.
I go through an Oz every 5 weeks, and out of that I would say he burns about 1/4.
I don't want to believe he is purposely taking advantage of me but DAMN. He knows he isn't throwing down... He isn't stupid.
I have way more living expenses than him, and I just can't afford to smoke him out 4-5 times A week. ( he lives with his parents and they pay his bills)
maybe he just expects it because this is the way he was brought up? I dunno.
I know I have to talk to him about it, and I am losing sleep over it.:.
Am I too nice? Sorry about the pussy post, but I'm blazed and thinking...
brief tangent: when i moved out to Cali, i landed in a house full of beach bum surfer dude metal heads. these guys loved to party, and it was awesome living there, but they were pretty much the same -- i'd buy a 30 pack on Tuesday night, and by the time i got home Wednesday all my beer was gone. i'd buy a fat ounce, and they'd help me smoke it, every couple of days one of them would be like "hey man, can i buy a $5 bag off you?" and then smoke me down, but i like to roll 2gram joints, like ten times a day, so i knew i was getting short changed.
i was really conflicted about it for a while. on the one hand, i could have stopped buying the beer and stopped rolling the joints, but i was having lots of fun living there, and i didn't want to fuck with the social dynamic we had by being "that guy" and getting stingy. on the other hand, over the 3 months that i lived there, i spent WAYYYYYY more money than i should have, and i have nothing to show for it.
in the end, i finally came to a conclusion: fuck bums. if someone is nice and fun and friendly thats awesome, and i love to surround myself by cool people, but just because someone wants to hang out with me doesn't mean i should have to give them anything. if you have a friend who might be mooching, and it makes you even a little uncomfortable, then cut him off. if you have to "pretend" to be "out of weed", that's cool, but either way once you stop supplying for a few days, he should get the message. whether he chooses to man up or bitch out, at that point, is really up to him, but his being a bum is getting in the way of your friendship.
my 2 cents.
edit -- oh yeah, bump
