This is a long confusing story so please bare with me. My ā€œfriendā€ and I were talking about buying some weed (I live in Ontario where it is legal) her and I go get 90$ out of her bank account, the person who was supposed to come deliver the weed said they couldn’t make it for another 2 hours, we both had things to do and couldn’t sit around and wait together so she handed me the money when we got back to my house and I placed it on my dresser, We hung out for another 10-15 minutes before she had to leave, and an hour later the person who was gonna come deliver to us messaged me saying he couldn’t make it, I immediately texted my friend telling her to just come get her money back.. when she got to my house I got up to go grab her money to return to her only to realize it is not where I put it, I start looking around and behind the dresser thinking it just fell behind but the money was not there. (Mind you I left her and the money unattended multiple times) I start panicking and flipping my room upside down looking for this money, mind you this whole time she is outside my house.. my parents hear me in distress in my room and come to check on me I tell them what’s going on and they too start looking for the money. Long story short after 20 minutes of looking I didn’t find anything I called her crying and apologizing for not being able to find it and I told her when it turns up I’d put the money in my account and e-transfer it to her. The next day I again look for the money in a calmer state of mind and yet again it is no where to be found, at this point I’ve told my parents, my best friend, my boyfriend and his parents of the situation and they all are telling me she stole her own money back to finesse me, I didn’t believe it at first because well I trusted this girl I considered her a friend and I just all around didn’t wanna point fingers with no proof, a week goes by and the money has not turned up at this point I start to believe myself too that she stole her own money back so I’d have to pay her 90$ out of my own pocket. I suck it up and just accept the L and was going to pay her back out of my own money. Around this time her cat gave birth, my boyfriend and his family were looking to buy a cat so I messaged her and basically claimed the cat, she sent me updates of him growing etc.(Let me just note she only once asked about her money which is super shady to me)

We planned to pick up the cat when he’s of age to leave mom and I told her I’d give her the 90$ on top of what we would pay her for the kitten and she agreed. (mind you, about a month has passed since the day the money went missing) one day I see her typing on Snapchat and I open it thinking it’s just another growth update, it is not instead she is messaging me telling how the cat somehow got out of the house and they’re out looking for him, I said something along the lines of how loosing the cat is irresponsible and she starts spamming me with messages saying it wasn’t her fault someone else let him out she’s not irresponsible bla bla bla I tell her I don’t care who lost the cat it’s still irresponsible that this kitten who’s not even 2 months yet as gotten out the front door in a zone with lots of coyotes she said she’s gonna spend the day looking for him I’m texting her like every hour for updates, night time comes and I again ask if they’ve found him she said she took a break from looking but ā€œsomeone was out there looking for him and she’s about to go out again with flash lightā€ I’m my mind I already know this kitten isn’t going to be found but I’m holding onto hope, she never texted me back that night.

The next morning I text her asking and she says she’s at work and she’s gonna look again when she’s off, a couple of hours later she texted me again saying ā€œI honestly don’t think we’ll be able to find himā€ at this point I’m at a loss for words and I just again say how you you let this happen and that it’s irresponsible, we finish off the conversation or at least I thought we did until she texted me again not even 2 minutes later saying ā€œso we agreed on me getting my 90$ when you come to get the cat since he’s gone and you’re not getting him anymore when will I be getting thatā€ that message made me lose my fucking mind because what type of audacity do you have to have to type out a message like that and not see how fucked up it is? I told her that message pissed me off and I’ll get back to her when I can respond with a clear mind, I was gonna get back to her the next day, but she ended up texting me first basically saying that me calling her irresponsible for losing my cat wasn’t ā€œher cup of teaā€ which I honestly erratically responded back and told her that I’ve been questioning her character ever since the $90 situation and that I believe she tried to finesse me, she says ā€œwhy would I steal my own money?ā€ Which that was a question that I thought to myself too this whole time. I responded with ā€œ because that’s how people who finesse thinkā€ she basically goes on saying that she needs her money back by the end of the week. At this point, I’m cackling because who the fuck do you think you are?šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ I already have it in my head that she stole the money and she’s trying to finesse me now you’re going to try to boss me around on your own time? We leave the conversation as it is she blocked me on everything except Snapchat I do the same back, the next day she texted me, saying she ā€œchanged her mind and wants the money back by the end of the dayā€ I respond with ā€œšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ā€ and she replies ā€œ I don’t know why you’re laughing you need to pay me backā€ I leave her on seen cause I already know where I stand with her. Again, she texts me ā€œwatch what happensā€ like she’s a threat to me.

Like I said at this point shit is funny as fuck to me you’re not about to talk to me like that after what the fuck you did. Anyways, I blocked her on Snapchat and I’m still waiting to see what happens to me. šŸ˜‚

So Reddit AITAH for not paying ā€œher moneyā€ back after she lost the cat she was supposed to sell to me?
