Hello there,
This quesiton has been bothering me all weekend (and as you can see, I can't sleep because of it) since my trip to the Commerce Baby, Commerce! (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=singletable&Number=2068012 &Forum=All_Forums&Words=&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Mai n=2068012&Search=true&where=bodysub&Name=18032&dat erange=1&newerval=1&newertype=w&olderval=&oldertyp e=&bodyprev=#Post2068012) /images/graemlins/grin.gif. A strange situation presented itself and I think it's best to turn the issue over to the members of this esteemed forum to help me make my decision.
Note: Unless he wishes to reveal his identity, I will keep the name of the 2+2er involved anonymous, /images/graemlins/cool.gif.
I won't bore you with a long rehash of how the night went (see link above for the trip report, /images/graemlins/wink.gif ) but at some point while watching Raptor and Usher get slaughtered at Pai Gow a 2+2er to remain nameless asked if I could hold his $300 worth of chips for him for a couple of minutes .
I was happy to grant him this favor and proceeded to watch Raptor and Usher lose several banks while waiting, /images/graemlins/blush.gif. However, after several minutes, he had not returned or renewed our agreement. After what was certainly more than 5 but fewer than 10 minutes, he shows up and asks for his chips back.
Whoa! WHoa! WHOa! WHOA!

I asked him 'you want WHAT?!? He said he is entitled to the $300 worth of chips per our original agreement. Apparently he feels that he is entitled to all of the chips I am now holding or I may 'die a horrifically painful and slow death.' He also said that he has made similar agreements with other people before and there was never any confusion - all paid him back even after he was gone longer than originally agreed.
hmmmmmmmmmmm
Well, I asked Raptor about this and his semi-coherent response was 'Bwahahahahahaha! /images/graemlins/crazy.gif $300 in chips?! Meh.....ship it! holla!' Unfortunately I had no idea wtf he was talking about, /images/graemlins/confused.gif, as he continued to bank every hand of Pai Gow to disasterous effect.
So, I asked TheUsher and he contemplated my question for a few thoughtful moments but his attention evaporated as Raptor started pounding the table yelling, 'SHIP IT BABY! Holla Bitches!!'
So......any thoughts or suggestions? Am I a complete and utter idiot (backstabber, douche, scum of scum) for thinking since he was gone longer than the original terms of our agreement, I was on my own?
