HAIRY Situation. should i charge or shouldnt i ??? should i watch, or shouldnt i?

i have this friend ..its kinda a long story so i ll try to make it short ( if you dont feel like reading skip to the bottom, below the dotted line)



(1) FIRST OFF:

he helped me out with a 250 dollar concert ticket that HE asked me to go to.

honestly i really didnt care if i went .. ( i never really paid him back for it ... BUT...



later that night at the concert ... he invited people into my car and he got 3 video game entertainment systems stolen i had in a backpack in my car. XBOX, game cube and a Nintendo handheld game ... that was def MORE THAN $250 bucks right there!! they musta walked off with it etc..



i specifically told him .. i didnt want people in my car for this reason. (cause of the gaming systems)



well i didnt really say too much .. told him about it .. but didnt harp on him about it .. NOR DID I ever ask for the money for him being so negligent. ( IF youre wondering why i had entertainment systems in my car, it was because i was at another friends house the day before .. and the concert was in the city)



anyways ... i also paid for drinks for him too .. and during the whole concert time there he hung out with this girl from Europe that HE DIDNT EVEN KNOW. he just met her. well i felt like the 3rd wheel.



(2) SECONDLY:

he has had these jet skis at my house for like 6 years. we both used to use them in the beginning .. but now he doesnt come up to use them and they just sit here on my property. I TOLD HIM LAST SUMMER .. that i wanted him to take them. he kept giving me times that he was gona come and he never came and got them. ITS BEEN OVER A YEAR LATER AND THE JET SKIS ARE STILL HERE!!! im contemplated just having them removed from my property.



(3) THIRD:

another thing? ....AS "a favor" i helped him out 2 times by working all day for free to do face painting at his school fair. he bought me a lunch at old country buffet for it .. but i never got paid and i worked over 10 hours both days. not only did i work .. but i also helped set up and clean up. clean up involved cleaning up hay and everyones garbage that came to the fair. and i dont think i got paid to do it the first time i helped him out either! not even a "lunch"



on top of that .. i ask that he take pictures of all the different artistic face paintings i did. I asked him to do this BOTH TIMES. i never got the photos .. he even took him on his camera phone one day i saw... but he gave me some excuse of how he didnt know how to send them etc .. then later he said they somehow got deleted. so i NEVER GOT THE PICS.



after that I REALLY DIDNT FEEL LIKE DOING HIM ANYMORE FAVORS!!!



i did so many favors for this guy ..but he doesnt seem to see it. ive done more than this .. but i dont want to write a book lol



heres the breakdown:



1) he keeps his jet skis at my house for free .. which i atleast saved him $2000 bucks

2) he always seems to use me for things and im sorry that i do them in the first place

3) we've been drifting apart and he plans to move out to LA to become an actor

anyways... theres so many things... too many to name



--------------------------------------鈥?br>


so the kicker is on top of all that ... we havent really been talking much ...

his jet skis are still at my house... and after all the other favors ive already done...



he has the nerve to ask me to watch his cat for 6 weeks while he is out in LA.

he did offer to pay me $200 bucks tho .. but if you read above you understand where my mind is at.



at first i WAS NOT gona do it!! .. because of the circumstances. i really didnt feel like doing it at all.....but then i told him .. if he really needed me to watch(cause he was in a bind) .. that i would watch his cat, feed the cat, clean the litter box etc .. for $10 bucks per day

when i realized that 10 x 45 days was 450 bucks .. i told him i would do it for $300 bucks



(ive checked where i live, chicago .. HE IS REALLY GETTING A DEAL, YET AGAIN .. USING ME)

IN CHICAGO THEY WILL CHARGE HIM $15 - $20 bucks PER DAY! THATS LIKE $900.00!!!!!

no wonder why he's calling to ask me to do this for him!



he immediately started talking me down in price. he said he was gona ask me to do it for free.

that he would give me $250 ... but this is before i knew he would be gona one month and a half.



i ended up telling him that it was too long of a time. that i wouldnt do it.



he started talking about that 250 dollar ticket and after all he's done for me bla bla bla

and that he really doesnt need a friend like this.



i said : okay if you dont want my friendship, come and pick up your jet skis tomorrow.



i never got a text back from him .. and its been a day later.





MY QUESTIONS ARE:



1) Was i out of line in any way ?

2) Was HE out of line in any way ?

3) should i have watched his cat anyway ..considering the circumstances ?

4) What may have been a better way this could have been handled ?



thank HAIRY Situation. should i charge or shouldnt i ??? should i watch, or shouldnt i?
It seems like you've done way too much for this guy. He is out of line with the jetskies thing and also the consoles getting stolen from your car. if i were you i wouldnt watch his cat. You could have handled this better by just not getting involved with all these favors you do for him in the first place.
Sell the jet skis asap. All I have to say.HAIRY Situation. should i charge or shouldnt i ??? should i watch, or shouldnt i?
frankly I would not do a single additional thing for this guy, he wanted you to go to the concert because you had the car!

and you have notified him more than once to remove the jet skis, and they are now abandoned property and you can sell them

as for the cat boarding, absolutely not, unless he pays you up front

if he can afford to take a trip to LA he can afford to have his cat boarded
Ok that is really long story lol



It sounds like this guy is just using you. If he really cares about his cat then he will take care of it himself.



When it comes to the Jet Skies, i think you should just rent a truck and take it over to his place and dump them there. He will figure out what to do with them



I'm sure in your relationship there has been a lot of give and take. Maybe more take on his part then give.



The tickets are a gift in my opinion. So on that he owed you nothing. When it comes to the game systems you should have locked them in your trunk. You really shouldn't have let these random people in your car. I think that your more responsible, because you had a idea that something like that would happen and it did.HAIRY Situation. should i charge or shouldnt i ??? should i watch, or shouldnt i?
you had stuff stolenl tell him to get his **** and split . he is using you he is a scammer.
