No, I just saying, I hate when people WANT to go on vacation or out to eat, or to the bar, then are cheap as hell.

It irritates me. I don't mind spending money, i know i'm going to make it back up @ work anyways.

I mean jesus, what's 1.50 for a soda instead of a water. christ!

I'm cheap alot of times on myself, but for others I'll drop it like its hot.
Example: I didn't buy a 10 dollar DVD(Forgot which one) that I really wanted because it was 10 bucks. But for birthdays I'll go above and beyond. And when I go out with friends, I share with my friend, she decided what to get, I eat a few bites and she eats the rest. I like to help people. Plus I don't eat much at all so its okay for me.

Just wait till your work stops providing them because someone complains that you are taking them home. Thanks for ruining it for everyone.
