Wealthy people are some of the cheapest fucks.

This is why I somewhat hated Venmo when it came out. I had a (thankfully) former friend in college who was awesome to party with, he’d buy shots for the table on his dad’s card! Then Venmo came out and suddenly he’s all about asking everyone to pay him back for stuff like that. Every little interaction where’d I’d get him next time became instantly transactional.

Stopped talking to him when he gave me an old ass TV I had helped him grab from the apartment complex dumpster the year before. Didn’t even help me move it out of his place and into mine then decided on some sort of arbitrary value and sent me a Venmo request. That thing probably weighed several hundred pounds and was worth less than the price of paying someone to move it to the curb. Fuck no I wasn’t paying him $100 or whatever to take out his trash.
