"
Meanwhile, when min the loanshark see you guys, she'll demand a $10 note. Any leftovers from the BBQ will proceed to the classfund for the chalet after next term. So, go or no go also pay $10 into classfund!"
Tell me what is wrong with this, people.
Nvm, I will.
1. "So, go or no go also pay $10 into classfund!"Let me highlight this obvious flaw point.
From this sentence,
are you saying that the BBQ will be taken from the class fund, even if people from the class are not going???How is this fair? Sylvia and I didn't go for the bbq. Hence, we shouldn't pay for something that we didn't even gain anything from.
Isn't a simple logic like this enough?!
Fine, you want to argue the next point:
2. You were not notified that Sylvia and I weren't going and you ASSUME everyone was going. Therefore, you bought our share for the BBQ.Isn't that a little callous? If you want to make a purchase, wouldn't you usually be sure you are buying enough or not to be certain that you wouldn't be overspending your money?
If you are so nonchalant that even
WITHOUT MAKING SURE THAT WE WERE GOING OR NOT, you still spent money to buy our share in the bbq,
why should we have to pay the amount of "our share"???
Firstly, we did not eat "our share", and the people at the bbq used up "our share" in the end. Therefore, shouldn't the added costs for "our share" be included in the "shares" of the other people who attended in the BBQ now???
Next, and my main point is,
if you are willing to take the risk of buying people something without making sure that it won't be wasted, you should take responsibility of your own risk, don't you?Why should we (2 of us) have to pay for your mistake?
3. We should have told you instead that we were not going.As I have said, since you are the one who will bear the loss,
Why didn't YOU make sure of it yourself, instead of relying on others to spoonfeed you with the information YOU NEED?!Even if you didn't know that the loss of money in the BBQ was so large,
you have only yourself to blame for not making sure that the right amount of people were coming.
4. There's a lack of money in the class fund.Ok fine. Then why isn't anybody else paying $10 for the class fund as well? All of you who paid the $10 are for the BBQ isn't it? So those who went, should pay you an ADDITIONAL $10 for the class fund.
And since the term is ending, and we are graduating soon, is there such a need for a $10 amount to be paid into the class fund?!
5. So you change it to $5. And said that BBQ money is not taken from the class fund.But you are still not asking from others to pay $5 for the class fund. Why is this so????
Isn't it for the
class fund, which is a totally separate matter from the BBQ??
Furthermore, what could possibly be worth FIVE DOLLARS that needs to be photocopied?
Even if there were in the future from now, couldn't you just ask from us the money straight away? I will gladly pay
the cost that it takes to photocopy whatever notes I need.
BUT NOT FOR A BBQ THAT I DIDN'T ATTEND IN THE FIRST PLACE6. "Any leftovers from the BBQ will proceed to the classfund for the chalet after next term."(No more chalet)
OOOOHHH, so this is how the others are contributing to the class fund??
Wait, wouldn't they be contributing less since part of their money goes into the BBQ??
And, from this point, doesn't it bring me to the fact again that you are trying to
pay for the BBQ by using the class fund?!
You can do that you know. It's not wrong.
Provided that everyone in the class is going.Lastly, the exposé!
6. Actually, the $10/$5 is to pay your share for the BBQ. Because we have already bought it, there's still about $10 not paid for the BBQ.To make this clear again,
I DID NOT ATTEND THE DAMN BBQ.And again,
WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR SOMETHING I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PART IN??What's more,
in the first place, you mentioned that the money was supposed to go to class fund (point 4), wasn't it??
Why are you saying now that it was to pay our share?!
Are you saying that you were trying to trick us??That because I wouldn't pay for the BBQ
I didn't go to, you tried to make us pay by telling us it was for the class fund??
Do you know what that means?
It's like the NKF foundation/T.T Durai incident all over again on a much smaller scale.
You are trying to gain something by using other people's money
that was supposed to be spent on something for EVERYBODY.
Do you know what it's called???
FRAUD. CHEATING. CON. STEALING.And you are wondering why I make such a big deal out of a small amount like $5???
Because you are trying to cheat me out of my money for your own means (BBQ).
7. You still
REFUSE to return Sylvia the money she thought was going for the class fund,
NOT THE BBQ.
You are actually really stealing from an innocent person.
When I have finished pointing out the facts that we should not be paying, a normal person would have realised their mistake and return the money
that is not theirs to take.Spare me the guilt trip by saying "since Sylvia paid already, you should pay her back $5 or else she would be paying the $10 in full".
YOU ARE THE ONE WHO SHOULD PAY HER BACK IN FULL.Definition:
fraud  -noun
1. deceit, trickery, sharp practice, or breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage.
2. a particular instance of such deceit or trickery: mail fraud; election frauds.
3. any deception, trickery, or humbug: That diet book is a fraud and a waste of time.
4. a person who makes deceitful pretenses; sham; poseur.
I rest my case.
P.S: And to the clinician that was laughing at us quarreling in clinic, thinking that I can't see since you're behind me, don't you have any sense of professionalism or shame?!
What's so funny?
