Social payback

What's the rules?

Someone comes to stay.
What are they supposed to pay?

Depends depends depends. If they (the people you are staying with) look poorhouse, then bring meat for dinner and slip $20 in the knife and fork drawer just before you say your goodbyes. Guest brings the weed as well.

Can depend too on how the stay was initiated:

A) Can we come and stay with you?

B) Go on, come and stay with us for a bit

BYO booze and some for the person you're staying with. Unless you're a mate, then it's free so long as you know the favour will be repaid!

Yeah pretty much eh. If the host is cooking dinner/breakie etc then I'd be inclined to buy extra bourbons as shit.

One night stand gone bad?

**nallac** · 20th March 2011, 09:18

shit, i never knew there was rules when having/staying at a friends place.......

If it's a real friend there shouldn't be rules unless you're a woman. If you need something then "Buy me a box of beers cunt" works wonders.

No booze, then offer to do the dishes or something.

I don't believe in pay back.

I do however believe in pay forward...

If you are invited to dinner, bring a good cheerful attitude and maybe a story to tell. Wine or flowers are optional but nice.

If staying a day or two, don't say "is there anything I can do?" Just go and do it: wash up or load/unload the dishwasher, take out the rubbish, etc.

If you stay for a week, you should take your hosts out for dinner.

There are some suggestions

Hope that helps.

Ya need to be a bit more specific.

Many many different situations with different obligations.

Hitting the piss a bit hard and the home owner says 'you'd better stay' - no payment other than cleaning up your own vomit.

Planning a piss-up and planning to stay overnight - be a good bugger and take some decent nibbles and maybe something nice for breakfast.

Staying with friends for the weekend - I'd expect to pay my way somehow - nice wine or desert or something along thoses lines - ie shout them something for being good bastards.

etc etc
