A schoolmate of mine who was also a friend betrayed my trust by cheating and lying to me. I was selling my cellphone when she told me the classmate of their maid is interested to buy the unit. Only to find out that she sold it at greenhills and the classmate never got to see it. Now, She was expecting me to give her a P500 commission on the cellphone that she sold at GH when I trusted her with it. Also, she used the sim card that still has a load or credits on it. I included it in the phone so that the buyer can test the unit. But, she used it as in ALL of it by calling her boyfriend with it. The cellphone got locked because its " sim locked" meaning when the phone turns off due to battery empty. She has to key in my PIN which she stupidly GUESSED! and there you GO..

Well that friendship would be over at that point. I would not need or want friends like that. I have friends that would give their life for me. That's the kind of friends that are worth keeping.

Hi Jennbart,
Did you get the amount of money that you wanted for the phone? If so then I guess it is her problem. Without the sims card and the pin it is worth less and that should be her problem. Your friend owes you the amount of money that you were originally asking for the phone.

I didn't I only got 3,000.00 and she promised me to give me the remaining amount of 2,000.00 which she never did. She already hid herself after, then the last time I heard about her she already gave birth. I guess she got more that she should be given as a " commission" The nerve to ask for a commission after cheating on me! Well, have not seen her after. I am just letting KARMA do what she deserves to get.

The worst thing you can do I guess is slap her, but of course you will not do that because you are that civilized and educated enough to do such thing. The only thing you can do now is to cut your friendship and never trust that friend again. Do not give her the commission.
I have a friend who betrayed me too. I guess, she was born a liar and who makes up stories that are not true. She has a debt to me amounting to P10,000 just because of those lies. She's good to it. I may be able to talk to her when I meet her again, but my trust to her and the friendship is not the same.

well, I nearly slapped her. But good thing I was able to control myself from slapping her. She cried because she wants our friends to side with her even if she is the one at fault. She did succeed. She gained our friend's sympathy and those people who did sympathized with her,I am not speaking to them now. I hate people who cries to gain sympathy. I hate people who gets carried away with the crying even more!

You did the right thing my friend. Trust is not that easy to gain when it is broken. It is not your lose, it's theirs, I am referring to those who sympathized that girl. Situation like that is not worth it to save friendship, likewise saving your friendship with that girl. Who cares? You will find other friends who will not treat you bad. There are lots of people who deserve more of your friendship. Besides, it is better to have less friends as long as they are trustful and loyal to you than many friends whom you cannot trust. You may forgive the girl eventually, but forgetting what happened is not that easy. Let time heal, but I think the friendship can no longer be the same.

When I saw the words in your heading "What could be the worse thing to do" I immediately thought of traditional punishments like crucifixion, boiling in oil, impalement, beheading etc - but that would probably be a bit out of proportion to the offense, wouldn't it? Nothing to stop you imagining those things for your own satisfaction, of course ;-)
Assuming that you don't think taking legal action is worthwhile, this is more on the level of supergluing her locks, stuffing a potato up her car exhaust etc.

At the height of that momment.. Yes, some of what you mentioned DID crossed my mind. LOL! I humiliated her in front of everybody in a coffeeshop, and nearly BANGGED her head in the glass window. I told her " YOU are such a KNOW IT ALL!How would you like me to guess your PIN number? It is called PIN for a reason! PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER? don't you know that? And why would I share you my PIN? Do you share your PIN to EVERYBODY? I guess NOT! so, I really do not understand why you guessed my PIN! SO STUPID!" and she said one of the DUM-DUM answer! " I thought your PIN is your Birthday!" so I keyed it in 2x. Then the sim still wouldnt allow it."
Then I said, "girl, you've got something wrong with yourself. You got to go for some professional help! if the sim would not allow you to access my phone after keying in the PIN that you thought it was. STOP! No need to try 3x for you to figure it out that the PIN you are keying in was NOT RIGHT."

Hi,
The worse thing you can do to a friend that betrayed you is to move on with your life, without her in it. If she really wanted to be your friend she would not have betrayed you, right? There is nothing you can do about the situation, but you can choose who will be your friend.
She'd be luck if you forgave her, after she apologized, of course. I say, in her defense, be young and immature sometime leads to doing foolish things, like betraying a frien.

Thanks for your answer Angelgirl16. :)
I agree with you on this. She wasnt so young when she did this.She should have respected me by not guessing my PIN. I think that itself is an act of unrespectfulness of somebody else's privacy. I have moved on with my life without her now.
