Friend washed my jeans and damaged everything in the pockets


Recommended Posts

Was at my friends place and she gave me $100 and I said that I would pay it back. Well, she took my jeans and wash them with out telling me. I was wearing shorts at the time. Well I had my wallet and Bose headphone in the pocket and everything in the wallet is all mess up and Bose headphone does not work anymore. The Bose cost $99 which I got a few months ago. She said that it's my fault for keeping my stuff in my pant and I should have known to take them out before she wash them even though I didn't know she was going to wash my jeans. Only shirts.

Should I pay her $100 that I owe her or because she wash my jeans without checking the pockets that we were even.

Does she normally do your laundry, but you just weren't expecting it this time?

No, I was staying there for a few days. Never got my cloths wash but would have think if she was going to wash jeans that you look at the pockets. More so if you don't live there.

Fact is, you still owe her $100, and she owes you a replacement headphones. 2 Separate claims, you guys need to work something out mutually.

Question, how do you fit $100 headphones into the pockets of Jeans, and secondly, how does someone not notice them in the pockets, they have to be rather large, no?

if the situation is EXCATLY as describing, give her $50 and call it even. But if she actually asked you if you wanted your clothes washed and you said yes, then its all on you, pay her the $100.

If I were in your situation, it would all come down to how reasonable my friend is willing to be. I try not to be a selfish person, and if they're reasonable about it, I would probably pay back the full $100 and forget the whole situation. But if not, then I would insist on some sort of compromise, where I only pay back part of what I owed. And if she's a downright bitch, well...

Regardless of what you choose to do, learn this lesson: Always insist on doing your own laundry.

Give her the money you owe her. Then your debt is paid up. And now, she is in debt to you for the device she ruined. So, she needs to make it up to you. If she refuses to pay, you know she's not a friend.

So, let me make sure I've got this right. She's letting you stay at her house, she leant you $100, she wanted to be even nicer than she was being already by washing your ****, and you're upset that she accidentally ruined some headphones? If that's true, wow...

I spend about $150 of food and drinks at her place.

Talk to her... Tell her what happened and what she thinks about making a deal with you... You pay 50 bucks and you're both even.

If she does not like the deal, then you say you won't pay her the 100 bucks, nor the 50 bucks.

But... If her friendship is important to you, then shut up and give her all the money and then you see if you paid her to end the friendship or to keep it strong. Either way, 100 bucks won't kill you and this is the time when we get to know our real friends.

Cut her some slack, give her the $100 and treat it like you lost them yourself. It's annoying to lose something expensive, but since it's your friend, just accept it as a mistake. It's called friendship, and mistakes are allowed. She didn't crash your car or steal your wallet :)

Probably pretty easy considering that Apple iPhone/iPod earbuds cost 80 bucks (the ones with inline remote/mic), and I'd imagine BOSE would be way better.

A lot of earphones/earbuds actually have separate tweeter, midrange and bass speakers in them too, making them quite expensive.

No, I was staying there for a few days. Never got my cloths wash but would have think if she was going to wash jeans that you look at the pockets. More so if you don't live there.

maybe now on top of the $100 you borrowed...she'll now charge you a few days rent.... :laugh:

True. She was nice to him. I changed my mind.

@op. : pay her what you own and show her that she destroyed 100 bucks worth of earphones. Laugh of the situation and you're done. If she thinks she has to give you back any money, good for you. Or you guys can spend it together another day.

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
