whats a few bucks between friends
Starting in 1973 about once a month we go out with Carols sister and husband
He sometimes suggests we split the check other times it is "let's see you had the . . ."
Since we started paying attention, in the late '70s., the number of times he suggested "split it" when he would have ponied up an extra few bucks?
Guess, take a wild guess.
actually
I never said I'm keeping a tab for what I am owed-- check my user name
Carol and I get a good laugh at my brother-in-laws little game
No we do not add up each and every check.
I'm sure if you think about what I wrote you would see I was not being literal about keeping billing department accountant precision type records
Even a dullard can see that the answer to my rhetorical question is . . .
SERIOUSLY if you really think my question requires you to answer--well then
Go ahead guess, take a wild guess
if you know the answer to that then you have problems WAY beyond a couple bucks.
Keeping a running tab on your brother-in-law for FORTY years is insane.
If money is that tight, just skip going out with them once a year and the difference is made up.*

* Oh and check your logic on this comment.
1) the sound of cutting lettuce
2) shrimp
3) Miracle Whip
4) Talking about health insurance like it is the same thing as personal health. Its not.
5) Being asked to meet someone or come look at something without being told why.
"Come look at this."
No, tell me what I you want me to look at and I'll tell you if I want to see it. I probably don't because you're an idiot.
6) Retired lawyers and engineers. Maybe some of you are OK if you keep to your hobbies, but too many of you think you are going to save the world and you have way too much time to ruin my life in your attempts. Also you have Alzheimer's you just haven't realized it yet.
7) Toms - stupid cardboard shoes
8) Firemen - If we are going to put government employees on a pedestal, why pick the ones that play volleyball and X-Box all day? More importantly, high school graduates shouldn't get the last say in real estate development. "Nice neighborhood plan, but you're going to need to double the width of your streets for our c0ck euphemism fire engine. Also you need to sprinkle your house, good thing for you I run a fire suppression business on the side."
9) The word "avo toast", also actual avo toast
I'm pretty sure when it says "something you hate that other people don't" it means most other people, an almost irrational hate. Cheese is a pretty good answer, and so is bacon, but almost all the rest are pet peeves to, if not a majority, then a significant minority. In fact, I'd even say that disliking food is not really a "hate".
I'm pretty easy going, so there isn't much at all that I hate, and I think that many people spend way too much energy on such things. There's a lot of things that I think are dumb, but that's another thread.

Impropper grammar.
No clearly what happened is people told him he already ate, and then offered him food.

My main complaint is that 95% of the public drinks these substances and then act like they are special for doing what everyone else does. It's just not special.
Yessssssssssss. I'd add wine onto that too. Can't even scroll through Facebook without seeing a dozen memes about wine.

Maybe I'll change my tune if they ever let me drink all day from a keg of Guinness at my desk on St. Patrick's Day, but until then....

Well done!

There are many people who dislike both political parties in the US. They just dislike one more than the other and vote accordingly. It's called negative partisanship.
Wouldn't it be really nice to live in a system where you could vote for a third party without it being a thrown away vote because only one of the two main parties would win? It would, and that magical place exists and is called Maine, the home of ranked-choice voting.
White people.
Anything Obama.
The influx of East African ringers taking national team spots in the US, Europe, and Middle East countries. Pretty soon, the distance races at Olympic, World, and European championships will look like a Kenyan all-comers meet. I hate it, although I know I’m mostly alone in this. Hence my reply to the OP topic.
I hate having to show ID to buy groceries.
