Wait like, between friends?

[-] madjo@feddit.nl 8 points 3 days ago

Euh, yeah. Usually in the group chat.

Times like these I think the Hellenes had it right with the idea of xenia.

For anyone else who’s learning something new today. That’s generally what I practice, though I tend to think of it as a form of chivalry. I’m a woman ish, but I like the idea of decoupling chivalry from gender roles and treating everyone with more care than is typical. Plus, sexist men hate nothing more than having a woman hold the door or offer to carry something heavy for them.

[-] madjo@feddit.nl 4 points 3 days ago

Anyone who can upset sexist men is a-okay in my book. I like you.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

It's what I think of any time I hear the phrase "traditional values". Caring about other people is the basis of any sane ethos.

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah, that’s exactly the spirit in which I use chivalry!

[-] madjo@feddit.nl 5 points 3 days ago

That's what I prefer too.

[-] gerryflap@feddit.nl 4 points 3 days ago

Yeah. We use it to settle a lot of things with friends etc. Going out for dinner or having a drink at someone's place? Split the bill and send everyone a Tikkie. Sometimes there's even multiple because someone paid for the beer and someone else for the pizza.

For context: in the Netherlands we generally pay using debit card instead of physical money or credit card. Almost every bank has their own "Tikkie" service nowadays. There's also Splitser, which allows you to keep track of who paid for what over a longer timeframe with more people. Like a holiday with friends.

Yeah but for €0.43? Here in the states people tend to think more like "it'll even out" especially among friends.

I wouldn't ever ask my friends to pay me back $0.50 lol

[-] gerryflap@feddit.nl 5 points 3 days ago

Oh no definitely not. Unless it's a meme haha. Among friends we regularly don't send a tikkie even when getting beer or something, because you know it's probably gonna be repaid sometime. As friends you definitely don't always need to even the books

The meme exaggerates it.
