So, let’s say a co-worker of yours asked you to borrow 150 bones for 1 month. The person overdrew their account and now is getting finance charges. Would you lend the money or would you not lend it? If no, then how would you politely break the news. Mind you I have to work with this person. ---

is this person a good friend and a co worker? or is it that co worker that youve been posting about that annoys you? I would normaly say no, since I drink my money away towards the end of the month. ---

Co-worker? I would be like, “Um No.” and walk away. Or say “Um yeah right, Are you kidding me?” If it was a very good friend that is border line being considered family I would consider it. Over with drawling an accound is signs of someone living pay check to pay check. If they are having that hard of a time then how are they going to beable to pay you back that money. Yes I understand there are rare occurances of people going through tough times but thats when you usually ask family to help out or you further evaluate before you decide to help. People with cronic “though times” are people to stay away from. ---
