Do I look stupid? Another bad night

Post by atst »

Went for Indian food tonight yes I know I shouldn't but food tasted nice, just once started eating they were keen for me to take my food and go, many times asked if I wanted to take home, started to think maybe they stuck something in the food and wanted me to go before it kicked in, anyway so far so good not needing the toilet.
Bill comes $2 for 2 beers , draft beer 75 cents? Ohh we give you can beer , so where are my cans I say I only have a glass, did I win a motorcycle?
No you only win a beer ,ok take $1 off the bill
Fuck me food good, price ok but for 50cents they lost a customer for life dumb cunts.
I can't think how many times my bill has been wrong more times than right, yes sometimes in my favour but I let them know and pay the correct amount if good experience
I'm standing up, so I must be straight.

For sure. That's one of the reasons to live in Cambodia. You can go out several times per week and still live on $800/month. Live it up.

I had some great Indian food when I was in Siem Reap. A couple times were among the best $4 meals I've ever gotten.
Do you think the parents of baby boomers whined so much when the boomers started changing society? And yet the whiney ones like to call young people "snowflakes." Hmm...

Is tightwad the same as a pensioner/retiree trying to stretch his budget?
When your budget is limited, why pay $2 for a draft beer if you can get it for .50 cents.

Even when you're not on a budget why pay $2 for something when you can get it for 50cent
Tightwad is a word people use when they see people with money not throwing it away like they do.
I've got a motorcycle not a car must be a tightwad

And that's a great saying my mother used to say, it's helped me through life,

The Chinese have a saying, ' if I find a dollar it does not make me rich, if I lose a dollar it does not make me poor'. Not sure how relevant that is, just thought I'd join in.
