Woman buys concert tickets for friend and herself, expecting friend to pay her back, only for them to back out of going to the concert the night before: ‘I'm not feeling up to it’

Pro Tip: If you decide to agree to pay for a friend, whether it is for a coffee, a book, or a plane ticket, only do it if you're okay with the idea that they might never pay you back. It doesn't matter how close you are or how much you trust them; some people make it a habit of not paying anyone back, so it's better not to rely on that if you're on the other side of that deal.

The only times I pull out my credit card and pay for a friend are when I tell them it's on me. I will happily pay for brunch here and there as long as I don't have to worry about when they'll pay me back and whether that will hurt our friendship.

Unfortunately, it is too late for the friends in the story below to adhere to this pro tip. One friend has already paid for a $90 concert ticket for the other, and the other has already decided they will not pay them back.

After the concert, the situation reached a new dramatic boiling point, so scroll down to read the full take.

AITA for asking my friend to pay me back for concert tickets after she said she “wasn’t feeling it” the night of the show?
