i feel very unhapy that my trust has been taken for granted

but 1 thing for sure i've learnt is never to lend money...and to maintain a straight face...the shared experience of u guys really really REAlly helped me see

Life is like this.

Borrower always got good story to tell. Like my case. I was promoted and was transferred to another department. Got this 1 short guy was assigned to me 1 day. I think he knew I was new to the department and ask me for some money, saying wife need it for surgery. Since I was new to the department, I lend him coz I will see him everyday. Weeks becomes months and end of the year when bonus were handed out, he tell another story saying grandma got plot of land for sale in Malaysia, waiting for the cheque to clear by the lawyer. When he said that, I knew I wouldn't get my money back. I did ask around and he had a bad reputation of never paying back. So I also follow his style loh and tell the whole department about me being cheated by him. When he approach anyone to even borrow $10, my colleague would tell him to return my money 1st then he can borrow. Nowaday he avoided eye contact from me. Serve him right.
