I just think it's weird to have an office environment in which everyone knowingly bets, they make a big thing about this particular 1, it comes time to pay and when the guy stiffs everybody acts like nothing happened and it's fine.
In a weird way I'm happy the guy is such a scumbag that Trump winning was a big enough blast to his ego, and he's pathetic, but what bothers me most is that I would have paid him the $500 that I backed my family member with.
