Part of me wants to frame it as a trophy for weirdest payment attempt.

Hand-drawn IOUs don't pay the bills. Frame it if you want, but don't expect it to cover rent.

Tbh how many people are actually getting these expecting them to pay rent? Seems like it's just a nice thing between friends. Honestly if someone gives you a hand-drawn note they're probably broke anyway, so framing it is just a sweet move. Ngl it's not that deep.

I used to throw them out, now I'd frame that too.

Why not frame it, since I've got a crayon IOU on my wall?
