Chapter: Comic
I don’t eat much. This always made it weird to go out for lunch with a group of coworkers. “Hey lets order 10 different appetizers!” of which I don’t eat “Let’s get 5 pitchers of Diet Coke!” of which I don’t drink “We need to split this 2 foot tall chocolate cake!” of wich I eat a bit of frosting. Somehow though I’m expected to pay an equal share of the full bill. Luckily I put some memory altering powder in the Diet Coke so nobody remembers where the rest of that cake went.
Today’s Biff learns the moves.
Yeah, that’s always a pain, when you’re supposed to pay an equal share of something you didn’t even eat. I don’t like seafood, and, as such, it’s always a pain to break the tab, when seafood is ordered. It’s too expensive, and I just ate a steak 🙂
I always hate when people want to split a tab evenly.
“No, thanks, I got a kids meal because I DON’T want to pay $23 today. Have fun with your T-bone though.”
It’s so much easier if you eat your co-workers instead.

Priorities!
What I hate is when someone asks you for a ride (to lunch, for example) and then they want to tell you about your music: guess what, dude, you gettin’ out at the next corner. If we were going on a long road trip I might be more flexible .. but not a half-hour or so drive.
I have a similar problem when eating with coworkers because I don’t drink very much. Half the time they want to order bottles of wine and I end up just drinking the table water. This is made worse by the fact that my coworkers are cheapskates when it comes to tipping so I usually end up putting extra money down to make up for the fact that they no one thought to add a tip to the split amount.
