poll: enforcing small personal debts
Oct. 25th, 2008 02:17 pmSuppose a friend owes you some money X, but forgets about it.
How big does X have to be before you send them a reminder email / make a phone call / mention in conversation / mention when you receive a restaurant bill?
What factors affect this number? e.g. closeness of friendship, whether it related to a purchase, how long ago it was, the kind of person that they are, your financial situation, their financial situation, age difference, history of reciprocity, gender, your mood.
What I call "debt" here does not include paying for your food/drinks/tickets, as this tends to be framed differently.
