writes: So my best friend bailed from a kayaking trip the night before we were supposed to leave. I called the company and they said the 150$ had to be paid anyway and no refunds could be made. I told my friend this and she said "no it's your fault you didn't call me and confirm that you were making the reservation, so you pay the 150$". I didn't confirm the day OF the reso, but i confirmed the day before and a few days before that to make sure she could come. Now she's calling me a bi*** and telling me to shut the he** up about everything or she won't give me the 20$ dollars she actually owes me for the new cancellation fee they made. She said she would have never paid me back the 150$ anyway and I would have been stuck with it. She called me a lazy a** and other very rude names, when I sat on the phone for 2 hours with the kayaking company so the 150$ could be reduced, for her sake. Now she is treating me terribly. What do I do? Do i say this friendship is over, or do I let something like this pass? She was willing to put me 150$ in the drain with not even a blink of an eye or a care. And she has been calling me very very rude things and saying mean things about my family and my job. What do I do?

Give her the middle finger and leave her well out of your life. Clearly this woman has severe issues.

Sounds like good enough reason to ednd the friendship. Screwing you over financially like this is just not done!

Anyways, i don't think you should stay friends with people like this. If you forgive her or just let it pass, it is guaranteed that it will happen again. Just let go, and if you were really meant to be friends she'll come back apologizing and admitting that what she did was wrong.
Anyways your conscience should be clear because you did the right thing and you were the good person in all of this.
PS: I had a friend like this that used to bail out of anything at the last minute. I forgave her once, twice and even three times, but guess what she did it again! Last time i faced her and told her my true feelings, she said sorry but that it wasnt her fault. Anyways, long story short we are no longer that close of friends and it feels much better.
Please tell me your updates, because i would really like to know what happens.

This is not a friend. She does not appreciate you! She does not seem one bit remorseful either- with a friend like that who needs an enemy? Don't let this one slide! End that toxic relationship!
