The Holiday Humbug: Asshole Guys in New York

I had to share this story with our followers.  Sometimes it is not ok to be thrifty regardless of your current income level.  That is when you're a guy on a date with a girl, you've had a few drinks together, and the bill arrives. At this moment there is only one thing for the guy to do: pay up.

It is not only rude and insulting not to pay, but it wreaks of unsophistication, selfishness, stupidity, poor manners, cheapness, and no class.

The ultimate low occurred to my friend last night.  She was on a FIRST DATE with a young lad, let's call him ... Daniel! Well Daniel thought it would be cool to checkout the hip new joint Edi & The Wolf in the East Village.  Lucky for my friend and Daniel, they ordered a $4 bottle of wine from the menu thinking what a bargain, it turns out it was mislabeled and it was actually a $41 bottle, and The Charming Bartender shared a laugh with them and apologized by upping it and giving them a $60 bottle of wine for just $4!  It seemed like a charmed night until the bill came. Can you guess what Daniel did then?  He asked my friend for $2!!!!!!!

Unbelievable.  Only in New York.
