I would deal with this situations by A: Don't loan money to people other than family. B: If I'm going to loan to a friend, make sure he's good on his word or it's my fault for being dumb enough to give him money in the first place.
I have done this multiple times before with him. He has always payed back. His word was good. The last time I fucked with someone was probably over 10 years ago, when I was a lot younger. You forget, he invited me to kick his ass. He is stirring this up. This has been over a month in the making.

Psychological warfare? Grow up. Cut your losses, never talk to him again, and try to be an adult about it next time. It's 30 bucks... are you on welfare or something?
I was an adult about it. I called him weeks apart, once at a time. He ditched my twice. Who is the adult? I am not on welfare, I have medical problems and it helps if I can pay for my meds.

Thirty bucks is not a bad price to pay for two important lessons: 1) Don't lend money to people you can't trust; and 2) Bombarding someone with phone calls and messages will make them LESS likely to want to repay you. If he had just called once, without the hostile tone, then a week later, said "Look man, can you just tell me when you will be able to pay me and I'll come get it? Or are you going to try and wait until I forget?"
If he's got any chance of getting it back (without resorting to the bonehead move of brute force) ten more phone calls is not going to be what does it. He will never fucking pay after being harassed like that.
I left about 3-4 messages, out of the 10-15 calls I made, over the period of about 6 weeks now. 3-4 of the calls came on the day he said to kick his ass. We DID setup a time and place about 2 weeks prior, and he ditched me again. I was never hostile on the phone. The day he said to come beat him up, his neighbor(my friend) said he wasn't at work at all that day. So he was lying.
This guy makes 6000$ a month. You think he needs the money?
