You pay for what you ordered. Well the difference being that ppl here aren't used to share food as explicitly as we do in our group there in Hyderabad :)<BR/><BR/>And people do have different ways of spending there money on, for me I am not into eating fancy food much and rather put those big bucks on travelling :D, so yeah being dragged to a costly food place bugs me most of the time (unless its a party) :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08397269248099196734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927568989991782754.post-19107024238447277822008-10-16T23:12:00.000-07:002008-10-16T23:12:00.000-07:00Thank you both the anonymous-es, if i may...Your '...Thank you both the anonymous-es, if i may...<BR/>Your 'valuable' comments, the closest equivalent is spam from strangers,leaving your name is definitely so unsafe,LOL.

Generosity gets abused a lot and so people need to learn- that is, the ones who are being generous and taken advantage of.<BR/><BR/>My advise- go dutch and stop bitching. After all, you are paying for what you ate. And please, stick to the loos-type topics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927568989991782754.post-4659411198922412632008-10-15T21:11:00.000-07:002008-10-15T21:11:00.000-07:00@soma- i know what you mean, since we all earn pre...@soma- i know what you mean, since we all earn pretty decently..it is convenient, we pay and forget :)<BR/><BR/>@luqman- no friend, you don't owe anything to me,why are you so alarmed?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15176915839422507087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927568989991782754.post-52537087161991157072008-10-15T00:53:00.000-07:002008-10-15T00:53:00.000-07:00Now, I am wondering if I vow you anything? :)Now, I am wondering if I vow you anything? :)Luqmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16654241944074020245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927568989991782754.post-3087734680808092912008-10-14T23:23:00.000-07:002008-10-14T23:23:00.000-07:00It gets a li'l embarrassing to go dutch now that w...It gets a li'l embarrassing to go dutch now that we have started earning decent yet i still prefer and believe that its only fair to go dutch with most ppl:DSomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265622876975808098noreply@blogger.com
