Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : So the first thing that should be mentioned is that the guy in question is super depressed and I'm aware of that. The frustration I have stems from the following issues.

Every week, my and a few of my friends meet up on Saturday to drink, play some Smash Bros., and play some DnD. Additionally, we'll go out and get some food, or go see a movie or something. Basic friendliness stuff I guess. It's always at my place, mostly because I'm the only one with a house and fortunately my wife doesn't care in the slightest. That's all fine. That doesn't bother me.

My issue is that the one friend has some rather outstanding debt to me and another person in the friend group. He currently owes the other friend $60 from a previous purchase, and he currently owes me $90. Let me explain where this debt comes from.

My friend's PC was having a few issues, and being an IT grad, I figured I would take a look at it. I told him it was being suffocated with dust and that was causing it to overheat. Which is true, although to be fair to him, the prebuilt didn't exactly have any dust filters built into it, so that was bound to happen.

Fast forward about a week and a half and I get a text at about 10 pm that it officially shat out and isn't giving any video. So I sigh to myself because I know exactly what the problem is, grab my spare GPU (A GTX 1050, basically something I have on standby for temporary replacments) and drove my dumb ass over. After a full day of work. At 11 pm. In my pajamas without any makeup or anything. Greattttttt.

So I go over, grab my screwdriver and magnetic screw dish from my car, walk in and do the part swap. It's like a 10 second thing. I install the drivers which takes slightly longer, and everything is up and going for him. I told him that since the card retails for $150 (at the time) I would charge him $80 for both the card and my installation services. I felt like that was fair, and I know he has money issues so I told him he didn't have to pay me back immediately, or at some point he could just give me back the card and buy his own replacement (Cuz I lowkey kinda really want that card back. It's the one I use for the youtube and jackbox machine that's plugged into our living room TV) and I wouldn't charge him a dime.

Well...it's been a month now, I know he's bought other things, and I know for a fact neither me nor my friend have gotten our debts repaid. It's *incredibly* frustrating to me to the point that I've been slowly trying to boot him out of these hang outs without saying anything.

Like, I thought I was on the up and up and was right here, but other people have told me to just take the high road and really, I don't know if I'm being the asshole here or not. I'm trying not to be but like god damn my guy.
