What’s 2+2?

Engineer: 4e0

Mathematician: grabs chalk and begins a proof

Bro made 6 cents per day over 5 years LMAO 🤣

The cheapskate's friends meanwhile:

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 31 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh the friends know. They talk about it between themselves, just too polite to say it directly.

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The friends know and are doing the opposite, £12.38, becomes £12.83 etc

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, no, £12.38 becomes the £22.91.

That cheap bastard. Make him pay you back in cash!

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If I had a friend like this, unless they were useful or more interesting than average people, I'd stop inviting them out.

I'll just let that friendship die, that's fine.

This is worse than what my friends and I usually do. We either do completely separate bills, or we trade back and forth who is paying. Nobody quibbles about how much, or how much more this time might be compared to last time. You pay the bill, and next time, your bill gets paid for you.

I take note whenever I'm paying more than once in a row, and if it becomes a trend that I'm paying for everything, I stop inviting people out. I'm not going to invite you out somewhere just to have me pay for it 100% of the time. If I wanted to pay for someone to keep me company, I'd hire a hooker.

God damn it Jimmy. I knew it was 1216, one after Magna Carta.

Is there something like r/okbuddychicanery on Lemmy?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Back in my college years, my cheapest friend would always conveniently "forget his wallet" when we were all going out to dinner, a fact he wouldn't reveal until after the bill arrived.

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I had a roommate that took advantage of me like that for 2 years. In the end I kept his security deposit because he cost me so much money

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

He would do it when we were out in groups, so he could spread it around. Thankfully he stopped being like that when he got older and a little more established.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That's a Seinfeld episode.

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 9 points 1 year ago

Oh sure, they might not bother raising a big stink about that but I bet you at least some of them will remember. Until one day, when he’s at the end of his rope and in need of a friend, then they’ll leave him hanging.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Try that with a business and see how far you get.

spoiler alertIt isn't very far

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 year ago

I tend to transfer a penny or two extra when I'm annoyed with the business, just to fuck with their balance sheets.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You don't do it to a business.

You only do it to your friends. Obviously.

[–] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I love that guy.

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago

I don't think I'd even notice if a friend did that to me 😅
