What The F***???

Imagine this scenario:

It’s a few days to pay day, and you’re stretching every ringgit you have. Your colleague, having discovered that you’re doing some serious belt-tightening, graciously offers to spot you a 50, and insists that you take it. So you gratefully accept the offer and repeatedly inform her that you’ll return the money once pay day comes around, but she assures you by saying you can take your time, joking that you work together and it’s not like you’re going to run away and not pay her back!
So you’re relieved to have that extra cash in your wallet, which you end up not using anyway, but on pay day, before you can even go to the bank on your break, she comes in to work and reminds you, “Eh you owe me money!” smiling as she does so. How would you feel then? A little embarrassed that you had to be reminded that you need to pay her back, and what’s worse she makes it obvious that almost everyone in your dept hears her!
Well I felt small. And offended! Was the offer to lend me money a sincere one at all? And believe me, I NEVER forget when I owe someone money, even the RM2 they spent to get me a packet of teh tarik. But to remind me when you see me the very next day, or on pay day, barely 24hrs after you supposedly assured me that I could take my time and pay you back, was such a tactless thing to do.
As kind as this colleague is, I’ve learnt my lesson to NEVER ever borrow money from her, EVER AGAIN! If all she’s going to do is make me feel like I owe her the WORLD, then she can keep her 50 bucks and use it for to wipe her own ass with it! I will not be humiliated when I never asked to borrow cash in the first place!
