Exactly right.

My business partner is this way. He is fucking ruthless if you owe him a dime. For example, if he buys water for the business. He will e-mail me every other day to remind me so he can take out the $5. Even thought the dude is like a millionare with his 30 properties, yacht (blew up now), car washes, half mil house, and so on and so on.

Fucking calling and e-mailing over small amounts of money. I see the point, but you are like, fucking damn.

When the table was turned though, I did it back to him. He had to borrow $4000.00 over the summer for something. He claimed it was bills, but coincidentally took his yacht out of dry dock same weekend.

Anyways, he was just going to borrow it for 2 weeks. So I let it go a few days, and started in with the e-mail reminders, and phone call messages, and so forth. It was out of character for me to do it. But I wanted to let him know how it feels.

Regardless, he paid me on time, and then bitched to his friends about me doing that to him. It was a new experience since he is normally the one who people are borrowing from. But, I wanted to show him just how fucking annoying that shit is.
