Conversely, this also means you value your honor that little.
That moment when you Capitalism your social group.
few people know this but there is actually quite a lot of money to be made from scamming your friends
There’s an entire MLM industry built upon it!
Friends? I prefer the term ‘rubes’
“friends”? you mean “potential customers”.
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.
this is satire.
All fair points
This guy is a parody account in case you didn’t know btw
one can phrase it like this for the terminally finance brained: an investment in friends and community is the best investment you can make; humans need other humans to be happy, and a strong community will get through basically anything alive.
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.
This guy definitely fucks
…his “friends” over.
They obviously do not have any German friends
Am German, can confirm that I am not friends with this person.
I absolutely call out inaccuracies like this.
Am I German? 👀
You might be. Germans will sometimes fight over cents for the sake of principle.
dunno if germany has this but in sweden we have the tradition that knives cannot be gifted, you must always pay a token amount lest the knife “cut” your relationship.
I don’t feel it makes sense to drink the principal sake. Am I Japanese?
I’m getting Ass Pennies energy
wow, that’s just awful
Don’t worry, it is a joke account.
Jokes are meant to be funny.
Part of the joke is that he posts this kind of stuff on LinkedIn to make fun of ‘grindset’ douchebags
Oh welp, turns out an entire classification is based on on a randos personal preference! You learn new things every day…
I mean, it was absurd enough to be funny for me. So maybe it just isn’t funny to you?
There aren’t many good reasons to ghost someone but you do bring up a good one.
yeah, always round up. owe 17.89? you send $20 and call it interest for covering for you to begin with.
Is Ken Cheng the new Ken M?
He’s the Ken M of linked in
It’s sad that satire like this isn’t obvious anymore. 100 bucks over 5 years should have been a giveaway, but linkedinlunatics is a thing, so.

satire.
Mate, that’s a parody account. He’s poking at so called “LinkedIn Hustlers” who have get rich quick schemes that are either ineffective, illegal or just asshole-ish in nature.
God I feel like some people really are like this and wonder why they don’t have any friends who are actually decent people.
Save some pence for the rest of us, bezos.
