I've done it several times over the past few years, and it hasnt gone particularly well, but I at least got repaid eventually by 3 of the 5. The worst one is the most recent.
This friend came up to my area to do some work. Tall, floppy haired guy. Lets call him "Shamble-Rot" (Shamble for short).
Shamble comes up to my neck of the woods to do some work. He apparently is a jack of all trades and does work for all kinds of industries. Well, Shamble asks if he can crash with me for several weeks, so being the friend that I am, I tell him absolutely, and even make him his own set of keys. Shamble and I go out, and we even invite my friend "El Guapo" out with us. We all go gambling and Shamble goes broke and borrows some cash from us. He then "Micon's" at the craps table so we all leave. He writes El Guapo a check, which neither of us wanted to receive, just cash, and then leaves town. I assume he will repay me soon, as I could use that money to pay some bills.
A few weeks go by, and Guapo gives me the check because I was going to use it to pay for some bills for us.
"Hey Shamble, I just deposited that check today". Shamble says that wasnt a good idea and that it will likely bounce. Too late, it bounces, and I get hit with a few fees.
"Shamble, when are you going to fix this?".
Soon.
Days go by. Nothing. I text him. I call him. No response. Repeat every day for a few days. Nothing.
Finally, I get a "Stop fucking texting me or I will block you" response.
<not good....my friend is going through some shit, clearly>
Then he tells me he is working on it and cant talk.
Its odd, because I get to see photos of him balling it up with his female friends on Facebook.
Really Shamble?....you dont have a minute or two to speak? You dont seem all that busy....odd.....odd I say....
Next comes text message "reason" as to why its taking so long.
"Shamble, I NEED to know when you are sending a check!...I have to pay a bill early next week so please let me know"
"I can access your account info through Chase. I will transfer it"
"My bills were due! WTF!!" Two late fees due to me trusting him since he gave his word I would have the money.
Tuesday: "Sorry...something came up"
Wednesday "<insert completely irrelevant to our situation excuse here> I WILL CALL YOU"
Thursday: no response. I text and call both his phone lines. No response.
Friday: "I need the money by tonight. I have to pay a large bill by tomorrow morning." No response
Today: (keep in mind, its now been around 6 weeks or so of excuses)
no response.
Im now blowing up his cell phone with Celebrity Soundboards just to get a chuckle.

Per the usual Drk made good on his promise and now he is the one who gets screwed. I hope it's just a misunderstanding and gamble makes good on what he owes, he's good people, but it's shitty taking advantage of Drk. Maybe it's shitty of me for signing over the check to Drk knowing it was probably no good even though he offered it. Who knows... I just hate the situation.
Pretty sure Gamble is good for the money, dude has never not paid a debt. And the issue here is that you are an asshole if you wait weeks to cash a check from someone that lives a profligate lifestyle like ole Timble.

He said he was coming back in a week and that the check was in case he didn't come back. Trying to find a way to blame this on me or Drk is idiotic. We were also both trying to be cool about the situation. I'm sure what finally pissed DRK off to the point of posting about it is when he said to stop bothering him. I didn't tell him to stop bothering me when he was asking me for money.
