You could have just said you don't relate to the post.
- tptacek 4y agoI could have, but then I would be saying something different than what I intend to say. It is not in fact a super reasonable concern, perhaps outside of dating, that picking up a tab will be misconstrued.

- TazeTSchnitzel 4y agoMaybe with your life experiences, but my own agree with the author's. When you're around people who aren't (or haven't always been) at least middle-class, they're aware of the power that money holds.
- tedunangst 4y agoI think this is an experience almost everyone has. It's certainly a plot point on a million TV shows. (Most recently for me, the first episode of Hacks where the assistant is sent back into the store for 17 cents change.) You get a weird request to pay for your own coffee, whatever, you send them the $6, and then you move on to not talking to them again.
- tptacek 4y agoYou'd pay back the coffee?
- tedunangst 4y agoWell, I'm thinking of the time somebody asked me for like $2 for parking, but they were right there. I guess if it's a Venmo you just click ignore.
