Good friend just asked if I knew about $20 missing from his house (1 Viewer)

[Patrick Bateman]

Took the kids swimming at my buddies house Tuesday. His son was running around with a $20 bill in his hand all day. His son misplaces the money. Today my buddy sends me a text asking if we picked up his sons money when we left. I was furious. He has since found the money in his sons bedroom. He told me I overreacted because I told him I was insulted, and angered by the accusation. On a scale of 1-10 how mad would you be If one of your good friends asked if you took money from his/her house?

 

[fantasycurse42]

I'd nail his wife

 

[Witz]

What was the exact text exchange?

 

[The_Man]

Act like there's nothing wrong. Then the next time you go over there, steal everything you can put your hands on.

He'll probably be too embarrassed to ask again if you took anything. But even if he's not and he does ask, you can reply, "Of course not. This is just like the last time when you accused me of taking something, and then it turned up later."

 

[GroveDiesel]

Should have told him you took it because his wife owed it to you and left it at that.

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

depends on how he worded it I suppose, but while I would be a little insulted, I don't think I'd be all that angry about it: 2

I'd probably have just responded with a smartass dig back at him

 

[fantasycurse42]

I'd nail his wife

Actually, I'd go to the dollar store, buy exactly 20 items, take pictures of items and receipt, and email him the pictures.

Then nail his wife, profit.

 

[Gawain]

I'd be pissed if he accused me of taking it, but how old are your kids? Those kids do the darndest things.

 

[jomar]

you must have the reputation of someone who'd take $20 from a good friend

you jerk off in your daughter's bed, do you really think anyone wouldn't suspect you to also steal money?

 

[Parrothead]

Tell him you bet his wife $20 that your #### was bigger than his

"Did you pick up Logan's $20 bill from the couch when you left Tues.?" my response: "Really? No I didn't. I don't appreciate you asking me that at all." his response "I just asked a simple ####### question, don't get all pissy about it." my resonse: It's not a simple ####### question, you asked me if I took money from your house." "It's a huge insult." etc.

 

[Buddy Ball 2K3]

Did you?

 

[NCCommish]

Would have to see how he worded it to know if I am offended. If it was "hey did you take my kids 20" I'd be pissed. If it was "hey my son lost a 20 did you guys happen to find it amongst your stuff? " then not so much.

 

[bostonfred]

If he's the type of friend you'd really get mad at for asking this then hes not that good a friend and you have every right to be a little offended. But its really not a big deal. He probably couldn't find it and was at wits end because his kid was freaking out so he checked with you without thinking it sounded like an accusation.

 

[NCCommish]

"Did you pick up Logan's $20 bill from the couch when you left Tues.?" my response: "Really? No I didn't.

Why I hate texts. No way to hear voice tone.

I agree. It's all in the way it was asked.

Seems like you have something to hide.

Please. He found it in his son's room.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

I'm fine now, but I was not happy when he asked. I would never accuse anyone, even if I turned my house inside out, and still couldn't find it. I'd just chalk it up and move on.

Well that escalated quickly.

 

[Jefferson the Caregiver]

That's a pretty strange question no matter how it is worded.

when are you coming to chicago so we can go out and get drunk?

 

[fantasycurse42]

Sounds like your friend is pretty poor... I'd get wealthier friends, they have more stuff to steal and def wouldn't notice that $20 being gone

I used to live in the far west burbs when I was younger. Lot's of good times in Chicagoland.

 

[gianmarco]

What was the "etc"?

 

[Galileo]

I'd be pissed if he accused me of taking it, but how old are your kids? Those kids do the darndest things.

This...one of the kids could have found it, or maybe as you were gathering your things it accidentally got scooped up with your stuff. Nothing to ruin a friendship over IMO

Kids are 9 and 12. Nothing ruined. The way he asked just didn't sit well with me at all. He apologized after he found it.

 

[Bucky86]

Money must be tight for him...time to nail his wife.

Bingo.

 

[Cjw_55106]

If you look anything like the guy in your avatar, I'd assume you took it even if I was holding it.

 

[Ilov80s]

He didn't accuse you of stealing it, he just asked if had it. Maybe the kid left it on the floor or somewhere odd and you put it in you pocket so it didn't get lost and forgot about it. You really overreacted IMO. Get over ourself. If someone sort of maybe insults you and you get mad and start swearing about it, you have some issues.

 

[Greggity]

You are kinda "ghetto" snaking $20 from a poor little kid. I'd "defriend" you off FB for that crap...

DOES THE MAN WHO STARTED THESE THREADS SEEM LIKE THE KIND OF GUY WHO WOULD POCKET A $20 BILL? I THINK NOT.

I would demand satisfaction from this gentleman who has besmirched your good name. Pistol duel at dawn.

He didn't accuse you, he asked you. Kind of a big difference right there.

 

[Ditka Butkus]

What was the exact text exchange?

Maybe you should have text back a sad face....I mean why bother speaking to each other and getting it straight.

I would have just said "No" with the winking face lol

And, then leave the $20 on the nightstand.

Your friend has very poor bedside manner. Much better would have been:

Logan misplaced the $20 bill he was carrying around. Any idea where he put it?

 

[James Daulton]

My wife misplaces $20 at least a couple of times a week.

Send his wife a pic of your junk.

Yes I did grab the twenty. Now your wife only owes me $180 more dollars

That's pretty obtuse of him to even ask.

I love these.

On a serious note, I'd be a little offended and put off by that, unless it was put in the manner that most people here are saying. Something like, "Did you happen to find it among your stuff?"

 

[TxBuckeye]

It was probably his way of asking if one of your kids took it. He's probably pretty sure you didn't. Of course, that is likely just as upsetting as the original question. But kids will be kids, so they say. So he threw it out there.
