Am I Being Inconsiderate?

Look at it this way: you've learned a valuable lesson about "friends" and it only cost you $100.


Most valuable lessons cost a lot more...…

His mother’s death is irrelevant in this situation.

I cannot improve upon this answer - it is 100000000% correct.

Sounds like a jerk. Return the shoes and block him. He's a user.

I know it's just $100 but what pisses me off more is the fact that I left my own gifts to make space in my luggage for his gigantic shoes. I am so mad and I am very tempted to send him a message letting him know how displeased I am. I don't know how to compose my message showing him that I am mad but not be rude

It sounds like he's going to pay but he's probably broke right now. He wouldn't have given you $35 otherwise. Just don't give him the shoes until they are fully paid for.


(A rude message won't help if he's broke.)

Hey, you got $35 so far. Maybe you'll get the rest!

Write the letter and let it all hang out. Then delete it. You might feel better.

You have learned a valuable lesson about this person. Do not forget that he has shown you who he is.

If you cannot sell the shoes, donate to Goodwill ir Salvation Army. Then, move on. Put this behind you.
