Edmundo BravermanSecond wife. Hands down.

Thats why divorces are so expensive...because they're worth it.

Took a girl out a couple months ago to a really nice restaurant/ lounge a couple months ago. This girl was waaay out of my league, so I figured it was worth it and necessary. We had a great time, but nothing ever came of it (No pun intended). Biggest waste of $59 including tip of my life (I don't live in NYC).

 
Edmundo Braverman^^^ Wow, dude. You didn't get laid after dinner at Appleby's? That bitch is a tease...

Yeah, usually that 2 for $20 gets them wet...because you get dessert, of course.

Regards

"really nice restaurant/ lounge" "Biggest waste of $59 including tip of my life"

Something doesn't make sense here. I've lived in small towns too but there are still "really nice" restaurants for 2 that cost well over 400 total.

I agree that $59 is on the low side for a "really nice restaurant/lounge" but I've never been to a place that I've considered a "small town" and paid anywhere near $400, much less "well over". That must have been a bad ass dinner man.

One of the best dinners I've ever had was in Boston at some well known restaurant and the food for 2 people ran me about $400.

I was joking about the "really nice restaurant/ lounge." I fucking took her to some unknown Italian place, that way she couldn't have heard bad things about it.

You can make a cheaper place sound nice by saying something like "It's one of those really chill places that no one really knows about, but I've been going there for years..."

Or

"My father's friend, who's a brain surgeon, recommended this place to me. He said they have the best food and atmosphere in town." (This way she knows someone of class likes this place, so it must be good).

Just a little trick you guys can use. There's no fucking way I'm spending $400 on dinner for two.

Riiight.

 

Who says the $59 included both of their meals? If I take a girl to dinner and the total bill is $150, I'd only consider the $75 I spent on her to be a waste.

This is how it went down:

She got her little salad: $12

I got my Chicken Parm: $15

Total for a few drinks: $20

Moderately sized tip so I don't look cheap: $12

college text books :( they even get more costly as classes get higher lvls

Pirate that shit. Or buy them off other students. That's the only reason to still go on FB.

last month the supermarket had a sale, four cartons of soda for 10 bucks. I bought three for $8.97....

felt terrible after

That dreadful feeling of inefficiency.

Is that the word I'm looking for? Fuck it, you know what I mean.

 

I got drunk at Playa Del Carmen and spent $250 on a tan suede jacket with tassels along the sleeves and back and four horse embezzlements. Two of which were galloping.

Talked them down from $300, so it was a win at the time.

Bunch of shoes I've worn like once. Spent like $8K when I discovered Gilt over the course of a month. Haven't worn most of it.

Went on a month-long Xanax binge and was like $12K short at the end of it. The only things I know I bought are a machete and an industrial gumball machine.

um... drugs in general

dinner for a girl who wasn't into me...why did she even go on a date with me then

I'm going out on a limb here and saying she went with you for the free meal. Just a hunch...
 

Paying too much for a website name and running costs. Thought it would be the next company being purchased by InterActiveCorp, man was I wrong.

CNBC sucks "This financial crisis is worse than a divorce. I've lost all my money, but the wife is still here." - Client after getting blown up
 

Heheh, yea you definitely wouldn't be the first there.

Most ridiculous thing? Cigarettes. You don't just buy a pack, you pay 50% higher health insurance premiums, pay for cancer treatment, buy a pack, and buy a shorter lifespan.

I've also been told paying $60 for a pair of jeans was ridiculous. They were 80% off though, so I don't feel too bad about it.

Said the guy wearing Wranglers probably.

 

Hmm, I think it would have to be the time I though it was really cool to buy neon signs. I bought like 30 of them.

That was never cool. Idiot
