Don't get me started on that. I am sooo pissed at FIFA. In August I offered $1300 for quarterfinal tickets in my application. They cancelled my application because there was no way I could change the credit card associated with it when I filed it. (I lost my card at a restaurant, and they had to change the card number for security reasons.)

How can people in Switzerland have no option to change a credit card number than to cancel your application?? :andy2:
That's incredibly shitty.

Ah I see, you've got one of those types of circles where guys are actually nice to one another.

All my friends are dickheads and wouldn't buy you a pint if it was your birthday, your family had all died and you were broke as hell.
Lol what kind of friends do you have? besides the typical stingy one out of the bunch, most of my friends we kind compete on who's gonna buy who drinks/lunch etc Gets out of hand generous when they are wasted :p I generally dont like it so tell them off when they get too carried away (usually its new aquantancies/friends, old ones they know how to act around you at all times).

We spend most of the time pulling the piss outta one another. I like to think I'm the most helpful/generous out of the group but that's not saying much.
They're more drinking associates then anything else at this point.

Thats generally how most of my immigrant-swedes I know are like, the swedes on the other hand are super fucking stingy that keep count on every bought beer :D With few exceptions.

Yeah I know what you mean, most of my oldest friends are exactly like that, just that most I go out with nowdays are newer ones (only known for couple years or so etc), they are the ones who are like described.

You are like the swedes too? :D (or I shouldnt generalize, but its been main experience with most males swedes I know) Fucking hell, its so awkward and annoying to do that, you can reciprocate the gesture without actually mentionning it or keeping score lol, its more natural that way.

Most of my friends are pretty generous when we're out, except for a couple. One of them moved away while still owing a friend of ours a couple hundred bucks, don't think she'll ever see it.

My friends are arseholes that I'm confident will be around if I really need them.

Always worried that people who are overly nice won't be around when it counts.

It's probably more down to the fact that nobody in our group is what you'd call high earners. I mean we're not broke or anything, but you buy somebody a drink or buy a round, you make damn sure they get you back.

I have no time for people like that :disagree:

This.

I mean whereas not many of my mates would buy me a meal or a drink out of kindness, they'd be there for me in a scrap or some other serious situation shall we say.

Exactly.

When going to away games with someone, I need to feel confident they won't just run away if I'm in danger of getting my head kicked in.

That's usually how it goes.

People front and think that by paying it forward gets them out of the tough times when they are really needed.

Goes without saying, everyone buys their round in turn, without fuss or muss and reciprocate the gesture evenly without mentionning it (only chicks get more then they give back around us :p). The awkwardness is those few who nag or mention it too much :D And I barely know any high earners either btw, just blue collar or middle class ones (most of sweden classifies as later). I'm more annoyed with rich fuckers I used to go to school with, had no real sense or tact for value whatsoever in anything.

Thats the only kind that matters :tup:


Those who are overly nice either want something from you, or are new acquaintances who are trying to impress and become friends with you.

When people are talking about friends I always remember one of the funniest Tuz posts. I can't remember the context, but Martin answered a form of the question "how many friends do you have" with: I have no friends, which is why I made tuz :rofl:
