Did you ever make this kind of call?

Sometimes my colleagues go out for shopping but they don't bring enough money. They do so because they don't want to spend extra money. But I know in the end that they will make a call and ask somebody to go to help them since they don't have enough money to pay for buying the clothes, shoes and so on. I've told them many times that I will never go to help them for it. I just don't understand why they don't bring enough money if they want to go shopping

That sounds simply rediculous. They definitely need to do things differently and they also need to have more friends like you. Ha!

Sometimes it just needs to be said.

I just used to carry my credit cards with me and they are always in my car. So I just used to face those unexpected bills by making use of the credit cards. I am well aware of it and still now I don't have to make use of any one to pay my bills.

Don't they take any plastic with them? That's what it's all about nowadays, people buying and putting every expense onto their plastic, as though they are buying now, paying later, I would hate to do that, I would dread the statement coming in each month! I agree you shouldn't carry too much cash around with you, because it's a security risk. But if you haven't got enough money for the item then you just don't buy it, simple!

Why they will shop till their last penny and bother other people if they ran out of cash? This act is so irresponsible.

Why they will shop and spend all they have and bother other people after they ran out of money? This act is so irresponsible!

Sometimes its their way to lend money and because it is emergency maybe they thought no friend will reject them.
But I will not lend them either they must have self control or discipline in terms of shopping.

Excuse me for this word, but I think that it is kinda stupid to be asking somebody to bring them money to pay for something that is not within the budget that they have. They wanted to save themselves from spending unnecessarily, but why do they still come to the malls or to shops when they will just be "hypnotized" to shop even if they don't have enough money. They are also disturbing other people this way.

Hi friend, i agree with you, we must take enough money for our shopping activity and buy our things without disturbing others. I am not interested in disturbing others in this sort and always keep the required money for my shopping purpose. It is not a good habit to call others and request them to pay money for our shopping needs

I won't help them too, because maybe it's just their way to borrow someone's money. If they really want to shop, and it's actually okay too, they should bring their own money. And I think it's very selfish of them to expect someone will lend their money to buy something they buy.

That's horrible. I think they should be sensitive enough that they irritate someone if they will make a call just to lend them a money for their luxury. You did the right thing. If I am in your shoe, maybe I'll get in distance with them. If they want something to buy they should produce or bring for it.

That's a very sneaky way to lend money, well unless if they pay up right away. There's always someone who's willing to help them that's why they got used with this kind of strategy. They should apply for credit cards instead so they won't be bothering someone else's budget.
