I am with you.... my broke ass relatives were always ordering mixed drinks when they knew i was buying... which was always since they didn't (still don't) have 2 nickles......

I am no longer related to those people...

 

I never said anything about repayment, that is your choice of words. Gratitude is about action, none was conveyed to me through actions or words. Also, how could I convey the story in an online forum without painting a clear view of what occurred? Seems to me that you are making a weak argument to rationalize cheapness...I've always wondered how cheap people rationalize their behavior. Your arguments have certainly enlightened me, thanks.

 

You were never related to them. THey were colatteral baggage. INLAWS

 

Not on your level? Do you know my financial situation? Didn't think so. You are the one on a public forum asking "am I wrong" and when you get any answer other than what you want to hear, you call people idiots, kids, and morons. Who's the kid?

 

you're my kid, son. As for your financial situation, I made a calculated and most likely correct guess based on the intellect displayed in your first post. Who knows, your uncle Remo might have won the powerball and gave you 5 million bucks for your 19th birthday, so I could be wrong. If your post makes sense, thats cool...but if its stupid I will let you know.

 

he cant face the fact that he is a rook... making rookie mistakes. needs to go back down to the minors cuz he cant hang with the big b0yz.

he claims my arguments are asinine, when i use his own words against him.

things that make him a rookie:

refuses to use obvious advice such as collecting money before hand (because for some reason he is above it)

has a kids POV of human nature because he assumes all people are good and pay there fair share.

thinks that generosity must be reciprocated (in his mind reciprocation = money).

doesnt understand what it means to host a party.


being cheap is a minor charactar flaw, that can be easily overlooked. get over it.

 

u didnt use the word repayment but u definitely insinuate it threw ur inital post by throwing in the figures for that night.

also, u used the word "reciprocate" in the same sentence as generiousity no? i ll quote it a third time if that helps u understand.

what sort of ritual "action" would u have like ur friends to peform in gratitude of their generous great giver friend? the open the wallet ritual? verbal? as a host you should have thanked THEM for showing up to ur little party.

 

they are asinine, re-read your posts and you will understand what I mean.

1.) Collecting money is for college kids, people that are on a tight budget, or cheap people. I'm not a church usher, so I refuse to pass around an offering plate to grown men. My only mistake was giving my friends too much credit
2.) a kids POV is quite different from someone who has a level of trust in his friends, another bad point from you.
3.) I already explained that gratitude is not always represented with money. Again, you are not reading the posts/not paying attention etc.
4.) I hosted parties that cost more than you make in a year, another bad point from you.
5.) Being cheap is a representation of character....being cheap because you are poor is understandable, being cheap because you are greedy and selfish is major character flaw.

 

This is the self-absorbed, cheap man's code.....you sound like a cool guy. Wanna come to nickel beer on friday, my treat?

 

I think the key, correct me if I"m wrong gotrice, is that he didn't expect his friends to pay necessarily, but the fact is that from their actions, he feels used and that's what hurt.
