I met Mr B by chance again after loosing touch of him over 1 year ago. He knows me by sight, from my old days in one of the stupid hang flower places.
Well, recently i have been hanging out with him, you might not realize it, but when you are stuck in a relatiionship with a singer, it is one of the most dreary most boring times of your life.
If you do not have enough money, your singer girl still have to work, and she will demand that you turn up to the workplace every single day.. just to make sure she knows where you are going, plus you still have to ensure she have her monthly quota of tables on a weekly basis.
So anyways, he was supporting two different girls at two separate places.
And within a month, he hanged close to 40 thousand dollars.. That was when the trouble started.
First he asked for help and wanted a loan of 20k, saying that he had issues with his boss paying his salary etc, need some time to clear a check, could not get down to the bank etc.
I said no in a gentle yet firm way, that was the end of the first episode.
Then one week later, he asked if he could borrow 10k from me...
Then one week later he asked if he could borrow 5k from me....
Then yesterday, he asked if he could borrow 500 from me and that he would return it to me tomorrow....
I was quite pissed off already, as he was basically throwing hundreds at the girl, and yet he was trying to borrow money to survive.
Then i learned from other people in the sector, that he had been trying to borrow money from them as well, all on the same day, trying to borrow 500 from each, and promising to return the day after.
From my reading of the situation, he has basically exhausted his savings and credit already, and now he is trying to look rich in front of his girl and trying to sustain an impossible burn rate.
The motto of the story.
"Do not lend money to other patrons in the Hang Flower Joints"
