Indeed, okay for someone who started out with his bare wits and a mere $7 million of racist slumlord Daddy's funds.
Christ girl get over it the entitlment. That salon owner still had to pay insurance cost while closed, feed and home herself and possible dependants. Then on top of that would have had to throw out a lot of products that had been opened but not had gone off in the meantime as they werent getting used. Not to mention all the extra expense of all the covid safety procedures thats needed to be implemented on reopening like not been able to reuse the same nail files etc anymore. Can you not see through the fact everyone here are telling you that you are the one in the wrong here
Actually so called "influencers" or insta huns are some of the biggest stingest going. This whole craic of anyone know or recommend where i could get X and a few days later they come on o the people from such a company sent me this. Like if you need something look it up on google like the rest of us plebs
Some people whenever they have to actual pay for something they make sure they let you know...a bit like vegans
StingeyStory:
A few years back, a cantankerous elderly relative, let's call her CER, demanded to have lunch in at a Dublin cafe, where a middle-aged family relative works as a waitress. We arrive along, our relly catches us on the way in and on the way to our choice of table, she asks us how we are, asks after a few family friends, lets us know the specials, grabs the menus, preps the table, checks we're fine and leaves us to make our choices. A few minutes later, she arrives back and asks me, as frequent flier there, what we'll be having:
"I'll have the soup, lad here will have the toast and mushrooms, and what'll you have CER?"
"Think I'll have the soup as well. But first, a question, relly."
"Yes?"
"See here the soup here on the lunch menu is five euro fifty and listed as served with toast?"
"Yes, that's right. We bake the wholemeal brown bread here each morning, and the soup comes with two freshly-toasted slices".
"Ok, but I see on page four of the menu, you have two slices of wholemeal toast down at three euro?"
"Yep, that's right. Toast and butter. Same bread. You should like it.".
"Grand, I'll have the soup without the toast and I'll pay you two euro fifty".
I hope the response was "That's not how it works" 😂
a few years back, my parents in law put up a nephew of my FIL who was moving from NZ (with his wife) to ireland, for six weeks, while they got themselves soted for accomodation and at least one job. even after they sorted themselves with an apartment, they called around to my in laws to use the phone for several weeks (while they sorted their own phone line) to ring home. they eventually got a thank you present; a posh bar of soap in a tiny wicker basket.
And your parents bought all the other food and prepared the meal yesterday for you all??!
I hope you all shamed your brother on the spot!
Parents own fault for raising such a stingebag
i fitted something in a couples house a few weeks ago. kind of identifying so i wont say. i colected in with my van day due to its awkward size. it was 250 in the semi local shop. dropped it off that evening and told them i would be there the next day to fit it.
turned up to be told that they went online and found one cheaper in naas or somewhere like that 1 hr away with a trailer . no problem i will return this one . told her there will be a restocking fee probably etc . i was being paid by the hour anyway so i naturally included the returning time on the bill. in the end they saved 8 euro not including the 2 hour drive to get the other one and the fuel . madness
Its a wonder he didn't add on the diesel cost. He must be such a disappointment to your parents, he is no son. Yes he is well educated but I would rather an uneducated son who would treat his parents not look for 79 cent from them for carrots he was going to eat himself.
A lad I lived with tried to give a ‘bum’ who was a regular beggar outside his work a tin of change , only to be told to do one. That was nyc
