I had drinks with an old friend from my first job last night, after not seeing each other for at least four years. He looked great– better than ever.
Back in the day, he was a notorious cheapskate. Even after I got him a job (in bad economic times, mind you), he thanked me with a single slice of pizza.
Last night, when the bill came, he dove for it and paid while I sat there in shock.
He’s all grown up!
Weird.
That’s always nice! I hate it when people are overly cheap among friends.
