You ever have a friend you owe and forgot to pay?

[Moparal]

I felt so bad tonight. I dropped off some stock 70 bb valve covers at my friends machine shop last night and went and got them tonight.

I asked him how much I owed him and he said no charge. I said wow, thanks.  I thought it was because I build a few holley carbs for him for free now and then, and just go over to help him get caught up at times.

So I said to him... I guess I don't owe you anything, that feels good.
He says, well you gave me 300 for your cuda heads, and you still have the final bill. I said what?

As it turns out, I got the heads on a saturday, his son gave them to me. And I left town for a month on that sunday.
I felt sooooo bad when I realized I owed him money, that I paid him right there on the spot.
He kept saying, I didn't have to pay him right now, but guilt had me choking up.
I had to force the money on him. A real good guy to have for a friend.

I wonder if he would of ever brought it up if I wouldnt of said anything.
He said it was only 190 bucks, I said it was his 190 bucks and I never like oweing anyone. Especially any friends.
I will sleep good tonight, but that was my cuda sport hood money I was buying this weekend,  but now I feel better having to wait for the hood rather then owe a friend.  I'm glad he writes things down. He just takes my cash and no receipts. Our word is our warranty and that is made of gold.

Anybody ever have this happen to them with your friends?
I got lots loaned out and don't ask, but this has never happend to me before.

I have never forgot anything that big before, but it has happened to me.

Don't sweat it man, sometimes the mind just forgets.
At least you made it right immediately 

As for me, no I've never forgot, but I have,(had) many "friends" who "forgot" to pay me back   
It's a great way to seperate true friends from those who are not.
Just lend em money......instant results

As another member with a recent birthday( the over 50 gang!)  will atest... CRS disease ain't fatal.... but it sure is embarrassing at times! 

Of course this depends on if your the "owe-er or the owe-ee"

Don't feel bad Al, you paid him and obviously he wasn't too worried. I "loaned" a guy / friend $400.00 over two years ago to get his tranny out of hock, haven't seen a dime since and expect I won't since this amount of time has went by. But I'm not upset because I have not said a word to him about it. I figure should I get in a pinch I'll hit him up on it, otherwise I'd spent it anyway, this way it helped him out and thank goodness I'm no worse off either. Like the good ole country song,"Women are made for loven, and money is made for spendin." But, Al, you me need to remember, we shouldn't speed money on women, just our lovely wives.

I guess what goes around, comes around.  I had been helping my brother with his bills because he was in college. He is out now and working. He called and said he's coming over tomorrow to make a payment on the money I was giving him. I never asked for the money back and didnt expect it back since I know money can ruin family and friends. But he insisits and said without me, he wouldnt of been able to get a good job. So I get to buy my interior for my car on monday thanks to him

Isaac, your big brother says thank you.  I always keep my family first priority on any situation

Glad to hear you can get your interior.
