ANNOYING office situation -> need quick advice if possible

[MissAva]

So...what was the ring like?

I''d write him a check for the exact amount and let him deal with it. In our office, co-workers realize that exact change is not always available so they do accept checks from each other.

Sorry, I probably should have started a new thread, but I thought it would be easier to update this one. That annoying day was two months ago and I have decided to just write a check from now on llke many people suggested.

Here''s the funny little update:

Thanks for the quick repsonses!

Ideally, I should just forget about the $$ and let the situation go. It''s just that this guy is such a creep! He''s done other things in the past (like spread false rumors about people) that I''m tired of him treating people so poorly. I hate feeling played.

I would love to do Pearcrazy''s suggestion, but it would be too confrontational. This guy could be my boss someday. He has already bought an e-ring for the president''s daughter

, but hasn''t proposed yet.

B/f works at the same office as us and knows the jerky guy. He thinks that even Libster''s post-it note idea may be a little confrontational.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to be very non-confrontational while still making it clear that not paying peolpe what you owe them is not nice?

Thanks!!!

hi,
In case anyone remembers this situation (the one I quoted here), I have a funny little update for it. That guy proposed to the boss''s daughter this past weekend after only dating her for 10 months!

And how do I know this you may ask? Because she came in to the office this morning and he walked her around to everyone''s work areas to ''share the good news'' and show off her ring!

It was hard to keep a straight face!!

And Matatora, you are too funny!! I had that thought later after I had posted that everyone might want to know ring details!
It is a Marquise shaped diamond in a custom setting. The Marquise is set N-S. The setting is yellow gold with some RB accents.
