Twenty-Five Dollars
Let’s be honest; asking someone out on a wager, especially if you know they like you, is really cruel. It doesn’t matter how much money is on the table or how amusing it appears; it’s never a smart idea – you’re playing with people’s emotions. But to hear that your crush determined your feelings are worth precisely $25 makes it ten times worse.
This tale just gets worse and worse. He shouldn’t have made a bet with someone in the first place, but he should not have waited three days to inform them. And then there’s the $10 at the end, which only makes matters worse. The lesson of this narrative is to avoid doing everything your pals advise you to do.
