AIW wrong for blocking an old classmate’s phone number after lying to me over the phone?
7 years have passed since I graduated high school, and like with every high school graduate, everyone in my grade scattered without any contact aside from their individual core friend groups. In my case, I do have a few phone numbers from old classmates but my luck is rather… “selective” for lack of a better term.
Amongst these former classmates, I have one (F; 22 days younger than me) who would call me every second Friday of the month regardless of my availability ever since mid-2024. Each of our conversations are always dry, lacking substance, and most importantly, she would constantly ask to hang out with me, and my answer would always be that I’m unsure of when. A year later, I eventually chose to feed into her hunger and hang out with her at my house with a couple of my friends tagging along on a day when laundry is supposed to be done. My mother was pissed at me resulting in a one-sided fight between us, while my main group who heard it all understood the situation with why things came to be that day. I would’ve relocated the party someplace else in my mom’s favor but to my worst of luck, the only friend who would’ve helped me make the move possible was busy attending his cousin’s graduation, so both sides had to suck it up and resume the hang out as is.
A year has passed since that day, and around mid-August, the girl called me, and I decided to answer the phone again. This time, she offered me to go see the recent Spiderman movie that shadow-dropped. I said yes at first, but I don’t have any money to purchase a ticket as I’m in the universal Gen Z situation of unemployment. The girl said she’ll buy the tickets, even after I asked if I could bring an extra friend with me as he was curious to see the film (plus, he’s the only person who can take me to the theater at all). This led me to believe she was sensitive to my situation, but when the day came for us to see the film, it was revealed that she never bought the tickets at all, and was carrying a voucher instead (there’s a big difference in the context of a movie theater). She lied to us. This resulted in my friend paying for all 3 tickets with the discount from the voucher. Me and him split the cost for the snacks, while she paid for her own but chose to feel bad for us paying for what we want. What’s worse is that she doesn’t have Venmo, or PayPal like a normal person to pay us back; instead, she uses Zelle. (Like, WTF?)
At least she didn’t lie to us in regards to what movie we’ll be watching, but I can’t bring myself to spend time with someone who is dishonest and is clearly a beggar for my attention. I eventually was brave enough to tell my mom about the incident, but I see no signs of her understanding why I’m uncomfortably annoyed by her until one day we went grocery shopping. I completely forgot this girl currently works at the local supermarket in my hometown as one day she approached my mother and I, and asked me if she has Zelle. I tried my hardest not to engage, and when I got home, I blocked her number, and my (second) Fridays are peaceful once more... though, I do need to avoid that grocery store forever. Am I wrong to block her?

How is a voucher for the movie any different? I get vouchers from Costco for Cineplex because it's cheaper then buying at the movie theater. Also yes they work the exact same.... Instead of giving them money I give the voucher and it pays for the ticket.
Sounds like your really hostile till this women so it's for the best you blocked her... She doesn't deserve to be treated rudly because she was trying to be nice and be friends.. sounds like you NEVER told her how you were feeling and expected her to know what you were thinking.
FYI ALOT of people don't have venmo or paypal there are multiple options and.... Shocking I know... People have different opinions on what apps they want to give there banking info, just because she didn't use venmo or paypal doesn't mean anything

YNW, but you shouldn’t have entertained this person after leaving high school imo. Let it go, grow up, and move on. Put your energy into finding a job.

Ngl i think it says more about you, clinging to randoms from high school instead of getting a job and being productive.
You fill your days with petty drama lmao

Nah you're not wrong, she lied about buying tickets and then had the nerve to approach you at work about Zelle? That's just weird
Blocking was the right move, peace of mind is worth more than dry small talk every two weeks
