    There aren’t many good reasons to ghost someone but you do bring up a good one.

    You do this to me once, shame on you. You do this to me twice, I’m on to you douchebag and I won’t bring it up but I’ll avoid situations where I pay for you or I’ll just tell you it cost £2 more than it does.

    I always throw an extra buck onto whatever I owe someone - try this instead. It will make them smile and its a sign of appreciation for covering my cost even if only momentarily. I’ve found that when I’m paying for multiple people and then trying to collect up, it’s not uncommon to get screwed over a bit or not have a fee or a tip or something covered. Be the guy that goes out of the way to show some appreciation. I’ve probably lost $100 over the past 5 years doing this, but I have enough issues to feel douchy about. I don’t need something else.

      When somene pays for me, I dont quibble about splitting it even. I use it as a bench mark, but I assume somsone else wont pay.

      Also I know theres times I’ve screwed up and didn’t give the fair amount (moatly due to not thinking or being aware of costs), so I try to bump it up and do a bit extra from now on.

    few people know this but there is actually quite a lot of money to be made from scamming your friends

    In the US Air Force they use US currency at all overseas facilities and shops on the base. But they don’t ship pennies because it’s not worth the cost, so they round up or down to the nearest 5. I worked with a guy who was so cheap that when it would round down he would pay with cash and when it would round up he would write a check (this was before debit cards, yes I’m that old).

      5c is our smallest coin in Australia so all transactions work this way.

      If I have to use up some cash at a self serve machine but I don’t have enough to cover the whole thing, when I do the debit card portion of my split payment I make sure to leave 2c extra.

      So if it’s $12 and I have to use up a $5 note I’ll split pay $6.98 on my debit, the machine will ask for the other $5.02 and will round down when I put in the $5 note.

      No I don’t actually care about the 2c but I’m having to type in a split pay number regardless so figure why not.

      That’s how it works everywhere here. But no one uses cash and all use card/contactless.
