This is the thread of the day - laughed at half of it.

OP - couldn't you have tried the "let's stop at an ATM on the way to the bar" line, and then pretended your card wouldn't work? ;)

I mean, if I were having a good time on vacation with some hostel buddies, I'd just give the cabbie a ten or whatever and carry on, instead of picking a fight over the three bucks that someone owed me.

OP has a history of posts regarding poor planning and nutty situations. Good entertainment for an April Fool's night.

I'd say 'bingo' to this

bill splitting etiquette aside, for a dollar share I wouldn't even bother doing the division... unless there was an extra motivation to improve the odds ;)

Where else would the idea of hostels be common? Australia? If that's the case, then the OP was f-ed up out of his skull at 2 or 3PM(?), which makes this thread at least 50% more awesome than I thought it was.

Tried to daydrink but ran out of money at lunch? That's truly awesome.

I was THIS close to making it out but I got dragged back in. This thread is like crack.

He said he was in Canada -" I am actually in Canada so i got exactly enough money for the bus to the airport and the bus to take me to my dorm" so that shoots down the 'day drunk' in Europe theory.

But I'm still not buying the April Fools thing. Fool, OK, April Fools, not so much.

Naw, this should be right here in TravelBuzz. :D

Because she expects me to cover her all the time, because I am married and have 2 incomes and she can't hold a relationship together and is single.

Example:
Sister: Let's get mom present X for christmas and split the cost.
Me: OK
Sister: I think you should pay 2/3 and I should pay 1/3.

She has been coming to my house for the last few years for her "vacation" and expecting me to pay for everything because she is a guest in my house.

I don't invite her any more.


Can I get her number?

Is it me or does this sound like Wimpy from the Popeye cartoons?

JackInThePlane Apr 3, 2013 12:15 am

Well, you're flying out on Tuesday and the bank wire was coming on Wednesday. That would lead me to believe that you had no intention of making it good to the German dude. You, sir, are the dick.

OP, you were in the wrong.

We haven't heard from him.

Hope didn't miscalculate his last $2 and miss his bus connection to the airport. Where he was then to travel "first class."

April 1st postings are pretty suspect in the first place.

I hope flymanbeast was playing the part of the broke dude, not the rich dude.

$2? Forget about the bus...that's about enough to get on the Night Train. @:-) OP is passed out in a gutter somewhere as we speak...

Go to sleep man.

Dear flymanbeast,

I'll take it. I've always considered myself to be a lesbian trapped in a man's body! ;)

The laugh is on you. You've shown no proclivity or ability with regard to wit or cleverness so this is a weak attempt at a recovery.

I can close the thread or delete the thread. I have decided to close it.
