A girlfriend's mother once asked to pay me after fixing her computer.
I said a bottle of wine will be fine. (I'd just turned 18)
She said no I insist.
I said well my rate is £100 an hour and it took three hours.
She chose to give me a bottle of wine.

- jholman 6y agoHaha, if only we were all so suave at 18.
