My Thought of the day... Don't add a person to your account...

I should have learned my lesson a long time ago. It is just you try and give a person the benefit of doubt. I always think people are like me. I see that they aren't. My 1st cell phone I had, I added my uncle to the account. It came to the point where he wasn't playing his bill, so it was all left up to me.  So eventually I stopped paying it. I was like I can't keep paying this bill, when he can't even pay his. So I said I would never get another phone for no one else.

A few years later. My dad needed a phone. So I went ahead and got him one. Now he was a good account holder. I loved that my father always paid on time. If he didn't have all the money, the next time he would pay mines.  Then he started having financial trouble. So he asked me can I let his account go. It was up for renewal so it wasn't a big deal to let it go. I respected the fact that he waited until the contract was about up.

Well now here is the BIG issue I have. A few months ago, I had a friend that was using a pre paid phone. They was wasting so much money every week on phone cards. So me being the NICE person that I am. I agreed to add them to my account. You know they were having health issues and so forth. I felt that putting 40 dollars a week on a phone card when you can just pay 60 a month... I was saving this person close to an 100 dollars a month.  I mean come on that was a good deal.

Six months has pasted now. This person still has yet to give me a freaking dollar for the bill. I was paying 129 dollars a month for both phones. This person also acts as if they can't even call or answer my calls. So the thing I did was suspended the phone. I had to. Now I know until December I still have to pay the bill.  I rather pay the bill and them not able to talk on the phone. Than to let them talk for free...

Every time I ask for money they had some kind of excuse. Granted we live in separate cities. They are not even far apart. I say 20 minutes tops. Even when in their town they can't even make it to pay me. So ya know.. I did what I felt was right. I don't care even if they are freaking mad.. I stood my ground and I am going to continue to do so....

I've learned my lesson.. I will never add someone to my account EVER... I mean it this time...
