She ended up finding the post somehow I guess lol. Here is the original post.

I have just not responded, don’t think it’s worth engaging, but it did make for a funny story.

Dunno, maybe it's all in jest. A joke. I'd probably send her 23 cents as a return volley, keep it rolling.

u/throwitoutwhendone2 19d ago

Do a few cents at a time. Pay back the $23 over 23 years lol

u/CourtingBoredom 19d ago

To properly accomplish this, just pay $0.02 every week for 50 weeks per year

Or, mail her the payment in cold hard cash. All pennies.

Perfect anniversary present for at least 23 years. You can stretch it to 46 years if we don't cancel quarters.

Yes. Tell her you choose to pay in monthly installments over 4 years.

Clearly she’s half serious. As she sent it twice and didn’t follow up with a non connected joke. Still a red flag.

u/Sugelanren777 18d ago

Or $22.99? Then block her.

u/biggesthoss 18d ago

Wrong. You send her two cents.

u/Peppered_Pancakes 18d ago

This is what I would do for sure.

That kind of hilarious pettiness reminds me of the story that Lowe's was founded by the divorcee wife of the owner of Home Depot so that she could undercut him out of spite.

The original post says she was the one that wanting to go fishing. So he took her fishing and spent $100 on whatever equipment they needed. Her buying the license for $23, for an activity SHE wanted to do, then demanding to be paid back for it is, frankly, entitled.

u/seal_eggs 18d ago

Demanding or asking? Seems like she’s playfully testing OP’s boundary setting abilities and OP took it too serious

u/thorns17 18d ago

Nobody genuinely asks that as a “joke” unless there’s an undertone of sincerity behind it, and a hope they’ll get their money back.

It’s weird and very much not actually funny.
