'Real friends don't nickel and dime each other': Entitled woman bails on concert last-minute then uses it as an excuse to avoid paying her friend back $90 for the ticket

When it comes to money between friends, most people prefer to keep things casual. If you cover dinner tonight, I'll grab the next round, and it all balances out in the end. Small expenses are easy to shrug off; no one wants to be the person who Venmos their bestie for a couple of french fries. Even if things don't even out perfectly, it usually doesn't matter when we're talking about coffees or drinks. But if a friend dodges paying you back for something bigger, like $90 concert tickets, that's when it really stings.

Back in college, I was notoriously forgetful. Honestly, I still am, but back then it was way worse. I was always leaving my wallet behind and asking friends to cover for me, even though I had money sitting in my student account. Without Venmo requests, I probably would have come across as a total mooch simply because I'd forget to pay people back.

But no amount of Venmo or Zelle reminders would've helped in this case. When one woman paid for her best friend's $90 concert ticket, she did it in good faith, trusting she'd be reimbursed. Instead, her friend bailed on the concert and acted like that was a valid reason not to pay her back. To make matters worse, she managed to flip the situation around and make the narrator feel like she was out of line for even asking.

AITA for asking my friend to pay me back for concert tickets after she said she "wasn't feeling it" the night of the show?

Did even want to go to this concert? She seems to have been pretty avoidant about the whole thing from the start. That doesn't excuse her behavior, of course.

Okay, so if $90 isn't a big deal, why won't she just pay it back, then?
