1) Nothing's worse than when you're out with a group and one of the shlubs your with leaves early and doesn't cover their share of the tab. I'm not a penny pinching banker, but if you're ordering shots / food / drinks and the money you're leaving for the tab isn't within at least $30 of your bill, you might just be a world class #######. Seriously GFY. This isn't a game of hot potato where the earlier you leave the less you pay. Is it that hard to calculate what you're going to owe?

I had to cover like $200 on the weekend. It was with work colleagues. Embarrassing.

Next,

2) my profession is one which typically has the reputation where we abuse expense accounts. It drives me mental whenever I see or hear people taking advantage of their companies through expense accounts. To the point where I am sometimes eating stuff I easily could expense if I need to push it but always don't. Then I see engies (always greasy unethical engies) always abusing their accounts, bragging about it and then calling our profession out based on some ridiculously unfounded reputation which no longer exists. People who abuse expense accounts are no more above the guy robbing the 7-11, you are a thief and a jackass. Bragging about wasting your companies money on irrelevant BS is moronic. No you don't need a $500 lunch. And in a similar vein people who expect you to pay after they invite you on a business lunch and who choose ####ing Caesars as the location. Get bent.

Finally,

3) tough guys who are trying to get in a fight after drinking. Look if you're Bruce Banner and a beer makes you go Hulk just don't drink. Especially if you're a student, a fellow colleague on an internship and you're trying to fight work people. I mildly considered trying to ensure this person got fired but decided I was too lazy / not caring to follow through, just a mild GMG because his strip teasing attempt to fight (for some unknown reason he was removing his shirt) ended our night. It is sort of funny and I've twice seen him at work since the incident. I think he's fairly embarrassed, but little does he know so am I to have to work with him. What a moron.
