Friday night was one of my buddies birthdays. All my friends gathered at his house, and the drinking commenced. It was a rowdy night. After drinking too much, I go outside to throw up. My roommate, who is outside smoking a cigarette with a few other people, decides in his drunken state to throw a small bottle of pink acrylic paint at me as I'm bent over heaving out Jager and beer. The bottle was open. I didn't know I had been hit with it at that point. Not until tomorrow as I try to piece things together. Anyways, my roommate has since then tried Oxyclean the hell out of my jeans. The paint was mostly removed, but there are still obvious pink spots all over them. The shirt I had on is unsalvageable. Pink everywhere. Even my boxers had pink paint on them. Total cost of clothes ruined: $70. I like my roommate, he's definitely a friend, but I damn sure want the money for those clothes. I don't want to be a dick about it, but there's no way in hell I'm letting it slide. Any advice on how to tell him I want the money for my clothes?
"hey mother fucker, if you dont give me 70 bucks ill throw pink paint on your fucking bed." or "hey man, i wanted to know if you could pay me back for those clothes.. if not, we are eating ramen, and bread because i have to buy more." or "buy me a half ounce and we will call it even"
Yeah, I'm just gonna tell him bluntly "$70. You threw paint at me and expected it would come out in the wash. It didn't. Pay me."
That's so dumb on his part. Just straight up tell him you need him to get you a new pair of jeans and a shirt.
Just be straitup about it, come right out and say it. "You fuckin ruined 70 bucks worth of my clothes, Pay me for them or we're gonna have problems" You also have to take into consideration the clothes, just because they cost 70 bucks brand new, doesn't mean they're still worth that much (unless you were wearing new clothes) so you gotta cut some bucks off if they were used. If you bought the shit 2 years ago and are expecting full price for them, I'd probably laugh at you if i was your roomate and you expected me to buy you brand new clothes to replace your old ass clothes.
I don't think he owes you $70. Maybe a new t-shirt and jeans, but guess what? I can get that shit for $35 bucks. You were both drunk, you need to take that in to account. Drunk people do dumbass things, and you were so drunk that you were throwing up, so I think cutting the guy some slack would be proper. Roll up to a TJ-Maxx and let him buy you a new outfit, and call it even.
Why? The shirt I got only a week ago. A small gift from my mom. The jeans were brand new too. My favorite pair.
Why? Because it's my opinion... Like I said, you were shitfaced and throwing up all over the place, and he was drunk as well, so if I was in that position, I would cut my friend some slack, chalk it up to drunken debauchery, and let him buy you a new pair of jeans and a new shirt from someplace like TJ Maxx. The fact that you spend $55 on jeans is shitty anyway
Or apparently you just don't care what you wear. It doesn't mean it's a fact. I wear what I want, you wear what you want. Doesn't reduce the price I paid just because in 'your opinion' that it's shitty. Maybe I don't want to look like some dimestore cowboy? So, your logic is that I should just "deal with it" although none of it is my fault? I should receive a couple of pieces of crappy clothing because he ruined them? What, did you get an F in Logic class? I was coherent while throwing up. I was just throwing up. He decided to be a dumbass and ruin -my- property.
I just really want to say that you do not have to spend a lot of money to look classy (&I bet lukas looks classy 24/7 )
Did you not see the I used? Christ, learn how to take a joke. Go smoke some. Maybe you're hungover and just being a douche. I care what I wear, indeed, and I dress very well, but I buy all of my shit at TJ Maxx and Marshalls because they have namebrand stuff for almost half what you would pay anywhere else. Don't ask an open forum what you should do if you're just going to bitch about people's suggestions. Just makes you look like an asshole.
You were both drunk, If you drink you have to accept that sometimes shit just happens! Maybe if you really feel like being a dick, ask for him to buy you some new jeans and a shirt, but some reasonable priced clothes! If you didn't drink so much that you had to go outside and puke, it would have never happened, so you are both in the wrong! To be honest I would just ask for a crazy smoke out and maybe for him to buy the munchies after said smoke out.
No, you do not need to spend a lot of money to look classy. But if I don't like the shit at discount stores, where you are not paying for quality, why should I be forced to settle with that? I liked those jeans because they fit comfortably and look good.
I had to go outside and puke, so it's all my fault? Wow. Oh, and BTW, he mooches weed all the time. Good luck getting a smoke out from him.
I see what you did there I dunno about classy, but I'm always well dressed. and I know you always look damn good yourself
