I ain't lyin. This shit i'm making up is true...

I got a friend who's always crying broke until it's some shit HE wants to do. We all go out to dinner, and he sits there looking pitiful until somebody offers to float him. But then two weeks later, he's buying top shelf booze for his crib or an overpriced piece of clothing.

He deserves to be called out on that.

.

Try not to do it at all, but definitely not in public.

If you say anything that can remotely be construed as the ghey you have to loudly proclaim "NO HOMO" so that other men know you're a real man who isn't down with that ghey shit.

I'm pretty sure this is written in The Book somewhere.

Doing that now is a sign of being backwards. Like raising the roof or saying fo'shizzle.

with his brother about a splash

or discuss business with a ting.

some corny-ass rule $hit.

"you laying up under her arm talkin bout how much money yall made on the block or at the spot..."

In a non-crowded, public restroom, do not stand directly next to me.

In a non-crowded movie theater, do not sit directly next to me.

just buy that nigga dinner and let him know what he means to you bro.

why are y'all fighting this.

I've never put my homies in a position to have them lie for me. Since I like to mind my own business as it relates to others and their relationships, I do my very best to not put anyone in that position of being in mine.

Word. I'm not gonna be out here keeping up with HIS lies.

I was over my homeys one Saturday smoking and playing Madden back in like '05. After a while, his girl comes over. She goes in the bathroom and sees a used condom in the toilet. My homey said I looked at him like "what you gonna do???" Like this: https://i1.wp.com/twitter-train.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/14433758936190-edit-27240-1424175268-32.jpg?resize=625%2C612

Homey: "Uh, flipnile left that there... he was here w/ a chick last night"

Flipnile: "Uh, yeah" *makes this face* http://cdn.hiphopwired.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/kanye-west-children-fall-gala.jpg

yourself in a restroom. It's ok once you and the party you're speaking to are standing at the sink. Never while anyone is at a urinal or in a stall. Don't even respond if someone violates this. Just wait til you're at the sink.

looking to not split the whole check evenly.

The only caveat is if these are some new bammas you're kicking it with or if that one friend is drinking WAY more than everyone else. In that case, the bill should have been split way before it got to that point.

Bammas sitting there itemizing the check is wack. Split it evenly amongst the crew and dip. It all works out in each person's favor at some point.

Problem solved. No reason to have to be looking at checks or signing shit, everybody just throw some bills on the table.

Just split evenly and bounce. If you can't do it, let it be known up front. If they're your fellas, they shouldn't have an issue with it unless you do it all the time which is an indicator that you prolly shouldn't be going out.

This applies to when it's you hanging with the fellas and also when it's your and your SO with other couples.

I think it's probably easier for a waiter to do that then to do the 5 way even split

RE: Are separate checks not a standard thing now?
Nor my lady's circle.

>I think it's probably easier for a waiter to do that then to
>do the 5 way even split
The waiter is being tipped for his patience and work. I've added more in gratuity when a waiter has handled the split without complaint or issue. And depending upon the establishment, the tip could start at 20% and go up to 30%. A few weeks ago, four of us tipped a waiter $200 on a $500 check because of all the patience they displayed in dealing with us and our needs/demands.

Options:
1. Bring cash and everyone drops the same amount on the tab.
2. Bring cards and everyone ensures they get swiped for the same amount including the tip.
3. One person pays the tab and everyone else repays that guy with their equal share of the tab.

Either way it goes, it ain't cool for guys to be sitting around splitting a check. I've seen cats take out calculators to figure it out. Even had a dude and his wife add up what everybody else owed (to the penny) before they called the couple out and told them the amount they needed to pay. If you gotta do all of that, you (and your old lady) may just wanna go out by yourself and meet everyone else later.

I'd rather here someone say, "Hey y'all! The check is $180 including the tip. Split 6 ways, that's $30 apiece" than to hear "Hey y'all! The check is $180 including the tip. My share is only $11.83."

Every time I go out with a group, when it's time to pay the waiter asks if it's all together or separate. They rarely ever just throw down a consolidated bill without checking first.

If separate, everyone gets their own receipt and pays their own bill which has only the items they ordered.

The waiters even manage to handle complicated situations where there are a couple of bills at the table that need to be combined. Easy.

There is no need to do the penny counting and the who got what game

if there are more than 6 people. We occasionally go out with 4 to 6 other couples. So, there is an issue for me when folks are counting and penny pinching while others are just ready to get outta there. I've seen the counting mess up the vibe of an evening.

I've also been in places where there 6 to 10 of the homies at the bar. They ain't tryna deal with the splitting of checks. So, it makes more sense for everyone to just drop an equal share.

I get what you're saying though. I just hate to see grown men (adults) at a table struggling to figure out what they and everybody else owes. Just drop an equal share and keep it moving.

How much running did you have this waiter doing? Lol...

Thats not realistic.. it's awesome for the waiter but nah...that's excessive tipping and shouldn't be included in this man law

On second thought this man law sucks all the way around.

If we eat $40 worrh of food I'm not kicking in $80. Fuck you and your greedy ass dates. Kick in what you ate you greedy bastards.

It ain't calculus. Y'all niggas want to order half the menu but can't carry the on when dividing the shit up? Nah son. I'm tossing you 50 and a few more and we out. I got kids and college savings.

I get that that works for some people.

I get that some people are also able to cover the whole check and rotate.

The thing about these hard and fast rules is that they only really work for the groups they work for.

When my circle goes out we each pay our own unless someone decides to pick up that tab.

That's what works for us. In fact I'd never seen this done in any other way until I was about 25 and my girl took me out with her family and they were a "split evenly" crowd. That shit was foreign to me.

Well, that shit doesn't fly with a new guy in the group who wasn't previously informed. It's 100% unreasonable to expect someone to pay for someone else's portion. The bill for me and my girl was like $45 total but the split brought me up to $80.

If that worked for them great but everyone doesn't handle those situations the same way and it's absurd to demand that everyone abide by that as their default.

If that works for a particular group it's all good but I don't see how it's remotely reasonable as a mandate.

>Well, that shit doesn't fly with a new guy in the group who wasn't previously informed.

You're right. It works for an established group or clique. You don't want anyone blindsided by it especially when they are new to the scene.

So scratch from the proposed mandates since it is too difficult to apply across the board.

then if we hit a club or something, everybody else got his drinks. that's what worked for us and we never had any beef over money.

and Karma usually translates that into a mean come-up at the next spot.

When they dated dating you could talk shit to his girl

You could chill at their place randomly by just knocking on the door. Enjoy the communal friendship

Once a dude gets married, you have to call before you come over

When you do come over, you need to bring some food.

You have to make sure wifey is in the mood before inviting anyone over

Wifey is now the queen and you are just a visitor to the queendom

Basically, you have to become distant friends.

The rest of that reality crap I can't get with at all and hate that I even got caught up in the mix at one point.

AIDS still out there. Just cause Magic got the cure doesn't mean you will get it too

Also kids are fucking expensive.

I dont care if it's my ex. if you have to talk down on my name to try pulling her, that's sucker shit

or if it's just a platonic homegirl of yours (or basically anyone that isnt a blood relative) you shouldnt have anything bad to say about me to them

In a perfect world, the driver doesn't pay for parking. The rest of the fellas should cover it.

even short trips across state lines. It's not that big a big deal. But as a passenger I DO offer. Most of my dudes would turn it down anyway.

Dough should be offered. Whether you take it or not is a different story altogether.

If I/you/they're driving, that's who covers the cost.

Nobody asks anyone for gas money or to cover parking or any of that. It's covered by whoever is behind the wheel and that just means that when you/me/they're behind the wheel on the next one, that's who gets it.

>If I/you/they're driving, that's who covers the cost.

DAYUM. We all see driving as a sacrifice made in the name of the crew. So we take care of the driver, not punish him ,LOL.

We went to a football game, I drove. We all met at my man's crib, and I volunteered to drive. Parking was $49 ( you read that right.). Ain't NO way I'm carting you negroes around AND paying 50 bucks to park. There was 4 of us total, and they all split it, without me even asking.

If we're leaving the bar and it's 1AM and you're "sober enough" to drive and I allow that to happen then both AND me aint shit

I look at it like, if you don't care enough to stop your boy then you and your boy both need better friends

The ONLY exception is if you've been attacked by wild animals in the wilderness AND the other dude is dead or dismembered ( and as good as dead).

And even though girl/women do it, I tell my daughter to not fall for that okey-doke either.

One of the girls took a skull cap off some dude's head and put it on mine, but I didn't realize it was his hat. It was at her parent's house, so I figured it was her hat. Then after a good 2 hours, the dude (in a cool, non-confrontational way) took his hat back from off my head. I was equal parts embarrassed and mad at her for putting me in that position without me realizing it, like "why you got me wearing some other dude's hat?!?!?!"

> I was equal parts
>embarrassed and mad at her for putting me in that position

A man's hat is his persona. Especially in these days of the 40 dollar fitted.

I might've said "fuck it" and let you have it at that point. He probably watched the whole thing go down, too and was waiting for the chick to go get his hat back for him.

lol, this story is like the start of a sitcom situation.

The thing was it was a like a $3.99 skull cap you'd buy from a vendor on the main drag in any Hood, but it was *HIS* $3.99 skull cap, not mine.

I came home early from work one day and caught him red-handed wearing my shit. Justice was served. I don't let people borrow my clothes. AND I told him no when he asked. He waited until I was gone to work and raided my shit.

...a good friend's brother helped me out with a coat and shit.
Had I obeyed that law...I probably wouldn't be here typing this right now.

my friend once offered me his hoodie on one of those days when the temperature dropped from 65 to 40. My dumb ass had on a t-shirt and shorts. I turned him down and shivered like an asshole. I almost punched him just for offering...you know, so I could keep my dignity and whatnot.

1. If you boo'd up, Bring your side piece around your guy friend wifeys.

I applaud the sentiment. But I don't think I want my friends calling my wife ESPECIALLY if I'm out of state for an extended period of time. That's how the bullshit starts.


My family can check up on them. I don't need my friends to be that familiar with my wife.

"You shouldn't be alone tonight."

....all my boys' immediate families live overseas...so we're basically all we got out here.

>My family can check up on them. I don't need my friends to be that familiar with my wife.

should check up on my wife and son when I got sent to South Korea. I told them that it was them that I believed would be the first ones to step to my lady while I was away. Lo and behold, it worked out that exact way. My best dude was the first to try his hand. Never spoke to the mofo again.

So, no! Stay away from mine unless I specifically ask you to check on 'em.

rules.

If his wife or girl answers but he aint there. Ask what time he will be back. If soon wait in the car. Only exception is your blood relative and yall tight.

Don't give no inclination that you would be pushing up on another mans woman. Being in his home with his woman while he is not there yet is a no go.

That is, ask your boy to take your girl out. Or take your boys girl out for a night on the town?

Sounds crazy but hear me out.


Your girl is out of town for work in a city she doesn't know anyone. Would you say, "Oh my boy X lives there, he can take you out and show you around"?

Would you do it? Would you do it if asked?

I've never been asked to escort somebody's S.O. around. I probably wouldn't do it. If I did I'd invite along a few other friends to remove all impropriety.

I definitely wouldn't leave my ol' lady in another dude's care. Friend or Foe.

that there are no rules in these skreets. everybody has his own lines drawn and decides where not to cross, but that shit aint consistent even among friends.

but a lot times, the circumstances will determine how a person behaves. even if they know such and such is a no-no, they still may try it even if they never have before. which goes back to everybody makes their own rules.
