How many people on LinkedIn absolutely loved that? lol

This guy's profile is the shining like in the depths of shit that is LinkedIn. Sometimes the comments are funnier than his posts. There are always people commenting like it's a serious post.

What’s 2+2?

Engineer: 4e0

Mathematician: grabs chalk and begins a proof

Accountant: what do you want it to be?

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

the accountant will tell you "2" and then keep 2 in crypto

Oh the friends know. They talk about it between themselves, just too polite to say it directly.

[-] then_three_more@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

The friends know and are doing the opposite, £12.38, becomes £12.83 etc

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 3 weeks ago

No, no, £12.38 becomes the £22.91.

That cheap bastard. Make him pay you back in cash!

If I had a friend like this, unless they were useful or more interesting than average people, I'd stop inviting them out.

I'll just let that friendship die, that's fine.

This is worse than what my friends and I usually do. We either do completely separate bills, or we trade back and forth who is paying. Nobody quibbles about how much, or how much more this time might be compared to last time. You pay the bill, and next time, your bill gets paid for you.

I take note whenever I'm paying more than once in a row, and if it becomes a trend that I'm paying for everything, I stop inviting people out. I'm not going to invite you out somewhere just to have me pay for it 100% of the time. If I wanted to pay for someone to keep me company, I'd hire a hooker.

I know ~~it's~~ the post is just a joke, but yeah money sadly is serious biz and beef between friends if things don't feel fair. It sucks but i chalk it up to the hellscape we live in.

Everyone has their money tics. A long time pal gets pissed if i pull the "whisper the waiter" trick and pay the whole dinner bill for example. For my part, I feel weird about owing people, like they'll hate me if i cant pay my way.

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, I'm not joking.

I have very few, very loyal, very long-term friends. I like it that way. Knowing too many people gets to be problematic.

Er my bad i was referencin the post being a joke, not your reply being one. That was poorly phrased on my part

Is there something like r/okbuddychicanery on Lemmy?

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Try that with a business and see how far you get.

spoiler alertIt isn't very far

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 7 points 3 weeks ago

You don't do it to a business.

You only do it to your friends. Obviously.

[-] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago
[-] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 3 weeks ago

I tend to transfer a penny or two extra when I'm annoyed with the business, just to fuck with their balance sheets.

I love that guy.

[-] Venator@lemmy.nz 3 points 3 weeks ago

I don't think I'd even notice if a friend did that to me 😅
