I got a round of drinks for our group and didn't offer to buy anyone else a drink. It didn't even occur to me to to offer because I wouldn't want to be in such a big round and certainly not with strangers who were half cut. I only thought about it later and now I'm asking the people of boards for your opinion. I think I was sensible but was I also stingy?

My pizza and can of coke, was €12.30, so thats what I was prepared to pay. But they decided we should just spilt the bill 4 ways, since one of them 'forgot his wallet' and I told them I wasn't paying double what I ordered for them.

End of the meal, 3 of us put our money in, the cost of the meal plus a generous tip for the staff. The 4th person tried to only put in the difference to make our payment equal the exact bill. Basically, our tips were subsidising his meal!! His partner made an absolute show of him for it, awkward at the team but hilarious when i think back now. Stingy sh*te!

One day one particular friend mentioned she wanted to see a movie that was out and asked if I had any comps. I initially assumed she intended for us to go together so was confused when she was arranging to collect ticket a few hours before I finished my shift in the shop I worked in. After we got around the confusion, it transpired she wanted me to give her the ticket to go with Her boyfriend. That was ok with me even though I thought it a bit cheeky so I gave her the comps and off they went. Later that evening after I'd finished work and they'd left the cinema I met up with them and we decided to grab something to eat. They wanted to meet in Burger King (yuck). It turned out there was an offer on whopper meals with the cinema tickets they had used the comps for. Her boyfriend loved BK but she didn't want a whopper meal so suggested I get the deal (can't remember details). After I returnted with my food she informed me I could either financially reimburse her the money I had saved or I could donate her my chips.
