SHOULD SHE PAY ME BACK?
A couple of weeks ago, I gave some money to a Facebook appeal for a friend who was in a car accident and needed money to pay for her repairs. It turns out a lot of information was left out: mainly, that insurance covered the costs but she spent the repair check from the insurance company on a brand new iphone and other stuff instead of the repairs. I gave the money thinking it was going to the repairs, because that it how it was pitched, and didn't know about her spendthrift ways. I didn't give more than I could afford to lose, but should she a) pay me back since it was under false pretenses, or b) should I ask for it back?

Did you give it without expecting it to ever be paid back? That's...odd. -- nm

Duh, never should have "given" it in the first place. Make it a loan from the get-go...you can change your mind on that later. As it is, ask for the
