Any good methods to ask people for treats?

Vel Vel SG

OK, i need a more tactful way to get back my money.

havent all of us been in a situation where people dun pay us back after a meal?

i have this fren whom almost always never pay me back after i settled the bills at a restaurant. whenever i try to let her settle the bills instead, she will come up with excuses like but i dun have HSBC, HSBC got discount la etc.

i am so sick of it. i dun wanna throw her face by asking her to pay up.

now is there any tactful way i can ask her for a treat? so that i can be sure it wont end up me paying again.
any tried and tested methods u have used and it works?

Tell her straight to the face.

What are you a pussy?

yiha093 SG

Master -_- SG

this type of people..you have to let him/her learn the hard way..

I was dining with this guy friend who's literally a scrooge and a miser..so as expected, when the bill comes, he told me this credit card was maxed..so at that point of time, i didnt have my card with me..and have cash just nice for my share..so i really didnt noe what to do..he was expecting a free meal as usual so he didnt bring cash with him also..so i told the waiter if it is possible to split the bill according to the portion we both had..so i paid my dues for my bill and left him alone..i was damn pissed with him..and at that time, he was already utterly paiseh..he was so indignant not to use his cash that he literally called my gf to come down and lend him cash..i, of course, so damn fucking pissed...asked her not to come down and left him literally alone there at the restaurant..and kinda shouted to him

"No money still come to a nice restaurant like this"

wahh..i was terrible but he really deserved it lah...so many times, i pay for 2 people..each time forking out $400 or $300...zzz

the next day, he asked me out for dinner..and gave me $1k to pay back whatever he owed me..he felt remorseful and his face was like so paiseh for wat he have done..of course, i took the money..and until now, sometimes we dutch..sometimes he treat..sometimes i treat.. Mr. Green

Drink till act drunk. Then your friend will have no choice but to pay. Laughing

wah Master's method a bit extreme. i am sure if i were to do that, we wont be friends anymore. gals are so much more xiao qi lor.
but i do think that fren of yours deserve to be a fren. at least he is remorseful.

as for mine,
the good thing is i hardly meet up with her, but the bad thing is that's why i always forget she got this bad habit.
i dun wanna humiliate her, would rather ask her to pay back immediately after i got the receipt. but i dunno how to start?

"err.. your share is $30. can u pay me back?" like that arh?
i feel very niao saying that..

This is what we call free loaders looking for a free meal.

You have to be tough or else you will be at the losing end all the time as she will take you for a water-fish.

If you are force to pay for the meal as she claim she don't have such and such a card just pay then ask for cash back on the spot. If she said no cash at the moment just tell her go to the atm as you need the cash NOW! Then while you are at it ask her to pay back the rest as well.

Be thick skin as it is your hard earn money too. Why must you be at the losing end all the time? But if you don't want to stand firm then sorry lor. No one can help you liao. Anyway this kind of 'friend' have or not also 'wu suo wei' Rolling Eyes

caleb_chiang SG

just tell her your card is maxed up by those meals that she still owes you when she say this card got promotion... Rolling Eyes

or better still... say... got promotion meh? why everytime you say got promotion, I end up paying double? Laughing

and rew SG

check is she a pokemon or not dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lorry` SG

woah.... suckers.... fortunately i never have friends like that.. or haven meet yet Laughing

if first time he/she diam diam, ok la.. i tell him/her i treat.. im not kiam siap 1

then if follow up still like that, then i ask him/her to pay lor

these kinds of people they thought you dont dare to ask em to pay you $$$ back.. then you just ask straight from his/her face

Cool-gal SG

i noe how u feel cos feel pai say to get back those small yet accumulating amount.
but enough is enough, ple dun spare a tot for u, why shd u?
do u think ple like her worthy to befren with??
a fren who only takes but never share.
just tell her, its time she shd treat u cos everytime u pay. or suan her, ask her wad card she has, then choose tat restaurant having promotions with tat particular bank.

browniebaobao SG

ask her meet up for buffet.

purposely dun bring ur wallet/cards and make her pay.

but she also never bring.. be prepared for the worst. Laughing

CannyOng SG

Just tell her 'Pls pay me back ytd bill I foot for u'

Nothing paiseh. U never promise to treat her and u have no obligation to treat her share... As simple as that!
