Despite having a full-time, decent-paying job, sometimes I am still a cheap bastard. I’ll do almost anything to save a buck. This past weekend, I went with some friends to The Met, where the “suggested donation” for adults is $20.
I decided to play the “student” card (suggested donation: $10) and borrowed Rishi’s student ID before going to the counter. And since Sebby hadn’t met us there yet, I figured I’d go ahead and grab his ticket.
Lady: How can I help you?
Me: Two student tickets please.
Lady: OK, that’ll be $20.
Me: Here’s….$7.
Lady: Uh, all right.
Me: Its all I’ve got.
Mind you, this was after taking a car service there. Yep, I rolled up to the Met in a shiny black Cadillac and proceeded to hand them a whopping 7 dollars.
Dollars saved: $33
Dignity: -4 billion
