Thoughts on cheap people or friends?

Putting In Work said:
Man I have stories for days on this subject.

I'm doing pretty good for myself and always want to travel and do stuff, but I only have one friend who would be down and he's single and I'm not so my chick gives me hell because we'd be out as two bachelors :lol:

I guess for different friends with different money flow, and money etiquette so to say on how they spend you have to learn to adapt or treat them each differently. My hood friends are career criminals and only care about ante up for chronic or other drugs, whereas some other friends would be down to chill at the movies or go out to eat, while my friend in Cali has the paper to make moves with me and the right attitude also so I would do things with him I wouldn't with the others.

I used to work with this dude and me and him planned a trip to Puerto Rico, I wanted DR but I think he had fake papers or some issues with immigration but it's whatever, and he said he wanted to bring his cousin along for the trip.

So it's me, him and his cousin (it's a male btw) and we go to PR for a few days to unwind and get **** faced... this dude cousin comes and has no money fambalambs... none. Like who does some **** like that on some real spit who does that. So I feel sorry and now I'm watching every penny and what not because I'm helping this dude foot the cost of bringing his cousin along for the trip.

He was fronting to us before we went out there like he knew some people and we were going to get up with them and chill and were going to have a good time or whatever. We get out there and he can't get in contact with his peeps that he "claims" to know out there. I wasn't stressing it like that though because I was like hey whatevers we out here let me just enjoy myself but also don't be a fool and empty my bank account especially if it was for a male.

So now we're at the airport in PR heading back and I notice dude is following me while I'm looking for something to eat and I was like nah forget this fool let his fat *** starve I did enough for him throughout the trip. So I buy my food and I didn't offer him if he wanted anything and just walked off with my food and he didn't get anything.

So come time where he had to pay for something because I was done looking out for him and I don't know where the other dude was who I worked with and I saw this dude pull out this faded light brown leather wallet and can you believe this dude had $1K - $1.5K in his wallet. Dude I worked with had just came by to see him pulling out the money and we both looked at each other like WOW this dude can't be serious.

He had money all along and he let us pay his way for the entire trip and after he saw us both looking at the money he had in his wallet he put it away and acted like he didn't do anything wrong. I was heated and had the real like stone face and then airport security came and searched me and had dogs and all that with the dude I worked with like we were smuggling drugs in front of all of the passengers.

How the both of you didn't proceed to jump the **** out of his *** is beyond me.
 
Those are all valid situations for not splitting the bill evenly, but you don't have to get separate checks to split the bill accordingly.

I don't know why you equated not getting separate checks to people not paying proportional to what they ordered.

He's confused on why you say it's tacky to split a bill and how it would be embarrassing to ask for it. He gave you example why you split bills
 
There is nothing wrong with splitting a bill. I never said there was.
 
Did someone hack your account?

I find separate checks tacky. Id be too embarrassed to ask.

That aside, do real restaurants even do split checks? How would that even work with appetizers? When I eat in groups we order for the table so I don't see how separate checks would help.

The cheap people I cant stand are the ones who have money and think they can take it with them. Worst cheap *** story I have is when a group of 10-15 of us went out for a buddy of ours wife's bday dinner that we were invited to. Mind you this cat works for Pfizer and makes like 275k per yr. We get there, have a below avg dinner, check comes dude goes it will be 47 each guys. We were like bro you invited us for your wifes bday dinner. His wife was so embarrassed. We paid because we didnt want to make a scene but I dont know how you invite ppl out for something like that and you make ppl pay. If I invite you out for an event like that, I pick up the bill. I guess if the food would have been good, paying would not have hurt AS much but to pay money for crap made it worse.

Usually if we all go out to eat for someone's birthday we're all paying for ourselves. Whether its some upscale place or cheesecake factory. I've never expected someone else to pay everyone's meal in those situations. If they do, then its greatly appreciated.

Now if this was an event where they rented a reception hall, I'd assume they're paying for the catered food and I'd just be paying for a cash bar.

Wait, so because I invite you, im obligated to pay for you?

Where they do that at?

It's truly amazing how different we all are.

This has to be a regional/cultural thing.

I've been to plenty of birthday dinners and celebrations, and the only plate paid for was the guest of honers.

It definitely cultural.

In middle eastern and south east asian cultures if you invite someone out you are supposed to pay though I know in India its not a definite as in india the polite thing for all parties to do is argue over who will pay the bill. people actually resort to trickery to pay it. my friend told me one time his uncle and had dad were arguing over who would pay the bill at a restaurant. after going back and forth for about five minutes the uncle got up and said he was going to the restroom.  in reality he went right up to the register instead of waiting for a waiter to come over and paid it right there. the cheek of this guy...

I expected him to pay though because when my gf invited everyone out for my bday for a surprise bday dinner, he was there and he didnt pay.


I was brought up if I invite you for an occasion like that, I pick up the bill. And have done so in the past.


I felt like I got shafted, and wifey and I got her a bday gift as well. lol

I guess I see it differently.

Dont judge me bros! lol
 
no judging....cultures are different because I've been to bday dinners and paid for my own meal. Never expected them to pay but if you paid for his previously then I understand why it rubbed you the wrong way 
 
Now you know what to expect from certain people or what they're accustomed to in situations like that.

Like my dad will pay the bill for my family, and relatives if we were all out eating after a graduation or football game etc. Same if I was at a cousin's thing; my aunt/uncle would cover the bill.

Again it could be a cultural thing (West African). My generation pretty much knows to pay your own way. Difference is we don't get upset that we have to pay or expect others too. Even if someone wants to get a table at the club, we'll all put up for it because we want to celebrate with them.
 
I'd be stupid as **** to be invited out to eat one of my boy's bday's or a bday party in general and think I'm not going to pay for my own food :lol: I mean it's not like it's my bday :lol:

I think it's family culture. The matriarch/patriarch figure at the table usually picks up the bill in family situations. So if we take mom out and my aunt is present she'll pick up the check and we're all adults. If we take my sister out and my mom is there she's taking the check.

Dynamics are a little different when it's family.

Get to the door at the club and hit you with the "get me right now I got you when we go to the ATM" then hope you forget all about it after

Reason I said what I said is because he had a free meal when my gf had a dinner on my bday. So when he got everyone together and said to meet here for my wifes bday, I expected the same in return. Paying was not a big deal but like I said, I have a different outlook. If I invite you out for an occasion like that, I have and will pick up the check because I invited you. Just my outlook gentlemen. No need to say I am a stupid ****. Lol
 
I hate it. One of my homies will not go out to eat, or do anything that involves spending more than $5 at a time. He is strictly dollar menu wherever he goes.

Worst part about it is... He makes pretty good money, and spends 50-100 on syrup damn near everyday.
