The lady living across the hall had her phone service go out because she doesn't pay bills, and something like every other day for the last two weeks, she's come to use my cell. I probably wouldn't mind as much if she didn't always knock when I'm sleeping and follow up every hour until I open the door. I've told her that I was, and she just apologized and has kept at it. I was warned awhile ago by a different neighbor that she's always trying to borrow money without paying it back (and she's asked me a few times), so she's that type of person.
What's the best way to tell her enough is enough? Thanks
Well. I could come and stay for a long weekend and I'm sure the situation would resolve itself.
i'm done with school in a month then have a whole month of nothing. you need to come then or me there. there's plenty of room here though i only have one bed (and no hammock)
Ah, I have a hammock, and my girlfriend tolerates my weird friends really well, so if you want to take the trip and don't mind sleeping on a hammock, you're more than welcome to come chill here for a few days. I have every friday off from next weekend until september, so let me know what dates are good for you and we'll figure out what's up.
"I'm a shitbag and let my phone service get canceled. If I wasn't such a deadbeat I'd have the money to get it activated again. Sorry, but until I stop being a drain on society I won't have a phone you can use anymore."

Yeah, I figured. Now if you'd just make yourself a littler easier to fucking get in touch with we'd be able to figure out when you can see it first hand. In my old age I've grown less excited about sleeping on floors, so it's probably better you come here.
I had my neighbor do this to me. I gave him one of the dozens of prepaid phones I have that had $4 left on it and told him to just refill it and we can call it even. He came back two days later and wanted to use another one. At that point I told him that I gave him one to use that that he should use that one. He didn't like that answer, he got an attitude, so I closed the door on him. He physically kicked my door and dented it. I called the police and the landlord. He was evicted that same day. Apparently he didn't pay his rent and was 3 weeks past due, and didn't have a job. Classy.
Just tell her that you are the one that pays the bill and that she has used your kindness beyond your limits and that she needs to either pay her bill or find someone else that is willing to do it. If she keeps on it, say that you've gone over your limit that month because of her use and that, if anything, you should be asking HER for money to cover the overage charges ($.50/min). That may shut her up.
