So it was easily fixable but unfortunatly this was right before I embarked on my journey to college so I didn't have time to fix it because I had to hit the road so I left the piece there and we gave him 40 bucks instead of 80. I'm really poor and I really couldn't afford to pay him back the full price and anyway its not like he couldn't easily fix it with some super glue. So if he did that then he would have 40 bucks to be able to buy something new and still have his old one as well. Sounds like a pretty good deal right? Well he was infuriated because we had left not paying him back the full price and he ended up throwing out a perfectly good water pipe. It pissed me off that he was mad about it because for one thing its not as if he even paid for it because the dude has rich parents who paid for it inadvertently. So anyway was I a douche bag for not just giving him the full refund or was he just an idiot for not just simply fixing it and then buy a new one?
Dude, I dont know about you but my parents taught me to return things in the same, if not BETTER condition than they were loaned to me in. How is giving him a broken bong and $40 fair? I would be PISSED at that gesture.

I can honestly say that if I have ever damaged someones good, I have either replaced it, or given them full replacement value. I would except nothing less than the same in return.

Its not up to you to decide if he deserves a new one. Its not up to you to judge where he gets his money. You fucked his shit up, and its up to you to fix it. No exceptions.

Bad stoner.
