Sometimes it just doesn't pay to be nice!!!

I'll have my husband tell George how much he owes you. Jason is about 20 to 22 years old. I have no tolerance for most of these kids these days. I end up calling most of them punks! :whistle:
 
Gosh, what are the odds of that, LDS! :scratch:

But I'm confused. What does Jason's dad have to do with anything? :scratch: He shouldn't be responsible or made to feel responsible for Jason's terrible behavior. I wouldn't expect George to pay for what Jason did. Jason is an adult. Telling his father about Jason's behavior is supposed to accomplish what exactly? I'm sure he already knows his kid is a punk.

Colleen, sorry it happened, but I'd chalk this loss up to a lesson learned. I would forget about trading with anyone on the internet.
 
Obviously, his father is not expected to pay for him or be responsible for what happened; but he is his father, and he lives under his roof, and he can talk to him about it.

Children are a reflection of their parents, and parents are usually concerned at how their children make them look especially in a town like this.
 
I feel it would be appropriate to let his Dad know what Jason did since he lives at home and he used his Dad as the hook ... IE: "My Dad and I are big NASCAR fans" ... I know I won't get my money, and I agree Dad should not be the one paying it, but letting Dad know is not all bad :laughing:
 
A town like what?

Adults are not always responsible for what their grown children do nor should they be made to feel guilty about their grown child's behavior. The people who judge others on what their grown children do are the a$$holes. What Jason did should not reflect on George. Any a$$hole who judges George for what Jason did should clean up their own backyard before before judging others. Not to say it doesn't happen...I agree with you. I just don't see why George needs to be bothered. I'm 32. I live right next door to my mother. If I used my mom to gain tickets and then gypped you, colleen, would you want to call my mommy too?
 
:scratch: :scratch: :scratch: Completelyme, I guess you and I just don't see eye to eye on this but that is OK because everyone is entitled to their own opinion and this situation surely isn't worth picking at each other over.
 
I'm not picking at anyone. I just asked why George should even be bothered because Jason is an adult. What is telling George about Jason going to accomplish? That never got answered. Neither did LDS' explanation of what kind of town Mattituck must be or what that has to do with anything. I'm thinking not a good one.

I think that's great that you were able to find this guy and now it can all be sorted out :) Sorry colleen for this happening but it sounds like you just may get your money back. If it were one of my children doing this sort of thing I would want to know and I would make sure I got the money to you.
 
Just gotta say...Trading with Tobby1 sure renewed my faith in humanity :sunny: There are some scum out there, but there are some great people too!
 
It's just sad :cry: that everyone can't be good and honest.

I agree, colleen. And I want to add that I feel bad for you and what has happened to you. Hopefully, there will be some sort of resolution and you get your money.
 
If dad can give you info on how to contact Jason such cell phone number...that would be cool!

Dad is not responsibile for Jason but if he knows Jason is a dead-beat in life, he might not protect him from his responsibilites. Most parents of 20-22 year olds don't coddle them anymore. If that was my son (yes I do have a 21 year old) ~ darn right that I would get the money from him & sent it off to pay that debt!
 
I agree madpaw51, it would be great if Dad could put me in contact with the dead beat, but the kid would probably just hang up once he knew it was me. He has thus far ignored all my emails to him. And I DO NOT think Dad should pay the sons debt, but since the slime ball is living under Dads roof, probably rent free, I think Dad should know what the kid is doing to people who only want to be fair to him. I have reconciled myself to the probability that I won't see my money but will continue to email the idiot once a week. Have a happy everyone! Good luck and sweep on!
 
THIS POST IS UNDER MY HUBBY'S NAME ... DIDN'T REALIZE HE WAS LOGGED ON AND JUST STARTED TO POST.


I did a search on Anywho.com and came up with a phone number for the slime ball's dad. Since I have unlimited long distance on my phone I think I will call tommorrow and ask for Jason. If Dad answers I will say, " Is Jason there? I need to talk to him about the money he owes me for the NASCAR tix I sent him. Did you enjoy the race?" If I get an answering machine I will leave a message and hope Dad picks it up.

I don't know why I keep obsessing on this, I guess cause before this happened I had faith that people wouldn't do someone like this. Guess I was kinda naive that way.
