Are you rich or well off?

There's "open to free things", and then there's "I can afford things, I just literally refuse to pay for them because I think I'm special."

I'm a wrestler (sometimes), and part of the Wrestler's Code is that you have to be the type of guy who'll drive 300 miles for a free meal and stuff as much food (and beer) as you can in a bag to take home. So I'm not against freebies, goodness knows. I furnished my Dad's entire apartment with free stuff I got off of moving jobs. Nothing wrong with that.

It's having the means and the ability to pay for things that aren't even that expensive, and going out of one's way NOT to do so that rubs me the wrong way.

BUT, that's the way of the world. Everybody thinks that everyone else should "pick up the slack" for them so they can get around things that the "little people" have to abide by. I get it. I just don't like it.

Also starting to think this thread was created for the sole purpose of HumbleBragging, which is always vulgar on its face. BUT, nobody asked me.
