    We had a person whos wife made fresh rolls. He brought them into work and we sampled them.
    After saying they were good he went on to say "if you are interested in more she will sell them by the 1/2 dozen"

    That, or they bring in something just so shitty. There was a woman at my office who brought in a giant UNSWEETENED bar of chocolate and dropped in on the potluck table and said "dig in". What. The. Fuck.

    "Dig in." :lol:
    I hate potluck stuff because I never really trust what people put in their food.

    This whole convo reminds me of one time for the Secret Santa, the person who was supposed to send Cav a present never did it, inventing all kinds of excuses. I am sure they did receive a present themselves. Not nice.

    I work in an appliance store. My boss found a quarter in a pump of a washer someone brought in because it was making a noise. He put the quarter in his pocket, and brought out a penny to show the customer what was making noise in his washer. 24 cent profit!

    That's not being frugal or cheap.
    That's being a dishonest dick.

    Haha. I actually do that with everything that comes in a plastic tube or bottle... except toothpaste. :lol: Shampoo, conditioner, eye cream, etc. I don't want to waste any because all that shit is so expensive, and I can't believe how much is in there when you think it's empty. There are usually still multiple uses left that you can get at if you cut the thing open! But toothpaste.... that shit is cheap as hell. :lol:

    It IS good to see you here JonnyP!
