bum

i have no problem taking handouts. for this reason i am officially a bum. if a person insists on paying for dinner i will not put up a fight... because personally, i was probably hoping he or she would do that anyway. i mean, let’s not kid anyone people. i know what it feels like to buy someone a meal. it feels good. and it is a whole lot easier if the person just lets me pay for it and is appreciative... the whole, “no, I’ve got it” thing is really quite tiresome. whoever insists on paying for it first, wins the prize. the other person should just graciously concede. now granted, there is a little gamesmanship involved. there is a little get a little, give a little vibe that should be hanging around. I am just as likely as the next guy to throw down a little change for a buddy’s meal, but if my friend has his credit card out before the waiter/waitress even rolls around the corner with the check... that’s it... i lose. or win, however you look at it.
