This is one of those things that isn’t always automatically clear. It can be assumed really easily that people expect for things to be covered. I have made it a rule to always ask, “how much do I owe you?” this has spared many awkward moments.

Just be prepared to pay. My friend sent me home with some medicine, the rest of their bottle, because I was sick. Even though it was half a bottle, I made sure to replace it. That’s how I try to live my life.

I was out to dinner with a different group of friends & one friend asked the other for a bite of his food & sent a plate & a fork over. The friend kindly delivered, then the other friend sent back a nice slice of pizza. I thought this exchange was fun, cause we all have that one friend just mooching off of everybody & not contributing.

I remember in college someone accidentally breaking a vase & replacing it the next day! I thought that was so classy. Above & beyond is the way I like to live! That day I was very inspired to be more like that!
