I hate mean people. The really, really mean kind who always missed their round even before the R word was mentioned.

When in a round in the pub a friend of mine had no issues getting a round in but when it was someone else's round and he was asked if it was the same again he would say "No, I'll take the money instead". He also used to offer to be the designated driver a lot but charge us all to drive us home.
