CNY horror stories

I’m having a peaceful and lovely CNY this year so this is from a few years ago.

A friend asked me along to visit her friend, I said OK, since it’s not the first few days.

There was blackjack going so not wanting to rain on their parade, I joined in. I decided only small bets, capped at $20. I could kind of tell that they thought I was a bit of a sucker, I come from a good family and they were a bit rough around the edges.

I ended up with beginner’s luck and won $200 plus.

After enduring the usual sore loser with black face tantrums, the act tough people are always childish infants deep inside so it’s to be expected.

We left, hopped into a cab and that friend insisted I pay for it. She was always calculative before, conveniently taking rides I gave her for granted. So I said, if I lost, would you want to share too?

She tried to argue that she brought me there like it was a favour but kept quiet after I gave her the evil eye.

I didn’t ask to go, she asked me. Frankly, was a bit of a rough crowd that I would have never intentionally chosen and felt uncomfortable.

So, I didn’t enjoy myself at all.

Her jaw dropped.

I usually dislike arguing so it was surprising I guess.

I no longer spoke to her after that, it’s sick how she penny pinch her end and I have no issues splitting at all.

But she won’t ever calculate in my cost or efforts like as if I’m her free taxi driver.

I felt she was a gold digger although we were platonic friends. I felt she already benefited, still act like a big shot, swinging her weight like she was my boss.

She gave up her share with a reluctant grumpy face like I was the mean one. So hard to get her to cough up $10. LOL.
