As a vet there are probably some peeves that will be somewhat unique to our age. This is the place to rant on :laugh: about it!
What really pisses me off is when I take my 2 adult daughters out to dinner and one of the boyfriends, or the new boyfriend tags along. My daughter says she'll pay for him but how miserable would that look? He tags a long and takes the liberty of ordering himself another beer, on my tab of course, and doesn't think to at least ask if I'd like another one, since I am paying!
I have a good mind taking him out for some marathon training sessions (he's never ridden before) and then smirk as he limps around for a week afterwards. Every one of them so far has never actually shown up with any beer yet quite happily helps themselves to mine. Don't get me wrong I'm not a beer nazi, don't rely on a beer economy and don't even drink that much, so I'm not expecting immediate reciprocation but after a couple of years I kind of notice the account deficit and the terms of trade are definitely not in my favour. Never really liked the short armed long pocketed of our species but mate, is that any way to impress the girlfriend's old man?
I was raised to never go anywhere empty handed.
