Tze blogged a very thought-provoking and accurate entry wtf here inspired by something that happened to me today.
I don’t usually blog about people I know or friends/acquaintances who do weird or annoying things because what goes around comes around.
But I must talk about this!
I have a friend, X.
(To be specific, X is someone from my high school and I’ve known who he is for years. X and I didn’t hang out at all in school because he was an athlete and gangster WTF (ohhh join gang ohhh damn cool ohhhh wtf) and I was a bespectacled dwarf in the Science stream. After high school I somehow bumped into X and he asked me out but I didn’t like him because he got too emo and clingy and a bit boring wtf.)
So you can conclude that I have zero interest in X.
X found out that I am back and he kept calling me and messaging me to go out.
And I kept turning him down because really I was busy or he called too last minute or something. And I also canceled out on him once (because I thought my hair didn’t look good that day WTF)
Anyway today I finally agreed to go out with him for dinner.
He took me to a Western restaurant (not my first choice actually not even my last choice ever since I went to the US I hate all American food)
The bill came.
He took it and paid.
He said, “you still owe me a drink.” (cos when I canceled on him I said I’d buy him a drink as an apology)
I said, “I know!”
He said, “and a dinner.”
I thought he was joking and I said, “I didn’t say I’ll buy you dinner!”
He said, “Neither did I.”
WTF.
HE SCARED HE HAS TO PAY FOR MY FOOD IS IT!
I always offer to pay for my portion but this time he just took the bill and paid! I was going to wait until after the waiter left (cos some guys want face make themselves look like they pay for the girl’s meal wtf) but he fast fast say like that even before I could offer to pay!
Seriously damn annoying!
This is not an equal world (yet) where men and women have equal rights! Women continue to face glass ceilings in the workplace and are discriminated by gender what, so why should we not expect door-holding and other basic courtesies from men?
I really don’t expect guys to pay for me especially if they’re close friends and we hang out all the time. If a guy pays for me I will offer to pay for them the next time (up to them whether they want to take me up on it or not la)
But guys who go out with me for the first time usually pay or offer to pay and don’t grab my money when I give it to them wtf. This is the first time I’ve gone out with this guy in two or three years and he was the one who asked me out! And brought me to a place where he knows I hate the cuisine and ASKED ME TO PAY HIM BACK IN A BLATANT WAY.
After that dare to ask me if I want to watch movie some more! As if I want to sure I have to pay for my own movie also.
(Also he talked too soft and I wanted to ask him to speak up wtf. And he didn’t seem to get a lot of my jokes I feel so unvalidated.)
Am I wrong in being annoyed about this! I try not to assume that the guy will pay for me (but I am used to it, Malaysian guys are quite chivalrous – the ang mohs I have encountered: not so wtf) but why this guy can ask to pay him back wan!
I talked to my girl friends and most of them say the guy will pay, especially if it’s on the first date. Even if it’s not a date, just like hanging out one on one, the guy will usually pay or offer to!
So faster I want comments please am I wrong for being annoyed about this!

you’re not wrong loh wtf that guy is a loser.
my guy friends usually pay off before i even took out my wallet if it was 1-1 and sometimes even when we’re in a group.
or they would pass the bill around instead of just paying first and SO THICK-SKINNEDLY ask for their money back wtf your friend is damn rude smack him !
the guys the one so wanted to ask u out and yet he so cheapskate…
hey damn pretentious ok aud u’re right lar but then for some reason im quite unused to chivalry myself maybe becos my bro is a jerk =.=
what good is there in li tim except for his parents’ wealth and that he enjoys giving blowjobs?
Hey there, guys nowadays are like that.. You expect them to pay during your first date, etc? Lol, keep on dreaming.. That’s not gonna happen.. When you question them or have a group discussion about stuff like that, those guys would defend themselves and said ‘men and women are equal ma’. Wtf?
awwww aud! what an annoying guy. i would feel the same way like you. avoid n pretend you don’t know this “x” when u guys bump into each other ^___^
he thinks he’s so cool
no la, brenda… some guys are still chivalrous that way ^^ the kind that will still insist on paying for the meal. i love the fact they still exist. adds bonus points!
oh my what a idiot:| of course you r right!
He’s just an immature jerk. Hopefully, one day, he’ll think back to that night and cringe at his immaturity and lack of chivalry. We can only hope…
I will do that. And with a straight face too.
But do you think I’d actually accept it when you’d actually wanted to pay for me next time? I still have my ego, ya know. 😛
I’m not saying that this guy is the same, but who the person really is is not always who he appears to be.
Maybe you can test it out, and see if he actually is serious about it. Plus, it’ll be better to settle your “debt” ASAP. If he’s really serious, who knows what that “debt” would turn to in the future.
Or maybe you’ve actually already returned the “favour?”
Maybe he’s trying to score another date but aiya either ways still damn dumb wtf
Hi Audrey,
I had a date with a guy and he had the courtesy to pay for the dinner which came to abt S$60++. The stupid thing is that he only asked for my share of the bill the next day tru MSN! wtf..like such a coward right? If he was to tell me that we shd go dutch, i would’ve agreed but don come chase me for money like i owe u…i can’t believe the guys ths days..
zefi: there is nothing to test. right after he said that i returned him the price of my meal. i am not that cheap to return the “favor” just for an rm20 meal.
AHAHAHAHA… what a loser. Eh, with the amount of gangsters in your year, I have a tough time figuring out who.
But confirm I can still remember some names!! faster give me a clue! hahaha
