Awhile back, one of my cousins borrowed $6,500 from me & agreed to a $200 bi-weekly payback schedule (all he could afford to do). Around the 4th payment, he apologized for not having the full amount (I think he had $75). I said, “That’s cool.” & while we were heading out the door, something hit me out of absolutely NOWHERE: ((About 7 years prior, he let me borrow his car to go to work (we were roommates). That day, there was a thunderstorm - I hydroplaned & crashed into the car in front of me (no damage to their vehicle, but nearly $3,000 worth of necessary repairs to his). He decided to pay out-of-pocket instead of involving the insurance company. When I told him I’d work my butt off to get him the funds he needed. . .he refused me; knowing I was basically flat broke & without a job that could stack $3,000 quickly.)) When I snapped out of that memory, I told him, “BRO! I never paid you a single dime for repairs when I had the accident in your car back then!” He looked so infinitely-puzzled (like “What? Who cares??”) & told me not to sweat it b/c he was able to make the repairs himself. I was shaking my head in disbelief like, “Dude. . .I can not beLIEVE I just remembered that! Know what? We’re straight - You don’t owe me another cent.” He was basically speechless, but when he tried to find the words to protest, I said “Nope! That’s it, fam. Consider your debt repaid! My bad for not remembering this sooner.” submitted by /u/THEbeautifuLIE
