No, he asked who was in the wrong, and pretty much everyone agreed that he was an ass. It wouldn’t matter if he made min wage and was going out to McDonalds - if you invite someone out, especially to repay a favor, it’s bad form to ask them to chip in.
Marco, you are right. This isn’t a story about a dating disaster. It’s a story about me getting high and dodging a (potato) bullet. I appreciate the re-framing of that anecdote.
I didn’t pay for the cookie either. Absolute bonus.
This is simple if you invite a girl and her family a restaurant be expected to pay regardless if it’s a fancy restaurant or Chun Shui Tan (which I love 
)
My wife’s favorite. this isn’t fancy? More than 150 per person is classified as fancy in my book.
Totally agree, but it’s gone on a lot longer than necessary. I’m sure he’s got the message…. now people are just having fun at his expense.
Not fancy at all, but its overpriced Taiwanese food for some locals. I still like the place. Clean and good food. Love their bubble milk tea as well!
I think the fun run has been very tame. The OP botched a thirty foot jumper in a playoff game. But, hey, he took the shot. Most don’t.
I doubt anyone here is at all envious of jimbob.
Yes and no. Only a few select individuals, our OP among them, can produce such odd stories. And those stories are the ones that get more feedback.
To me it’s more like he took a thirty-foot jumper while standing in a convenience store or something like that. “Sir, this is a 7-11, and you’ve just smashed our window.”
I thought this thread was going to be about slurping.
Let’s not over analyse that!
I’m trying to imagine what a 1k+ NT drink is like. The very best cocktail bars in Taipei charge around 400-500.
Gawd, that’s the worst.
No… chewing with your mouth open and talking at the same time is the worst.
Well not always as far as not liking a cheap person. I was asked out by a girl I knew many years ago that was cheap (not poor, she went to expensive overseas school). She took me to Pizza place that had free Pizza that night for non locals (not Taiwanese) in Taoyuan, I paid a small amount(for her) and she had a free meal haha. My point in this case if it was girl asking him out the feedback maybe would be different.
That’s pretty bad, too, but at least I can look away from that.
Food flying allover.
A close runner up is a mouth full of beverage and talking while the beverage is still in the mouth 
Maybe Salt Bae has opened up a restaurant?
She helped him with an advertisement scheme where she came up with the idea of telling a story where an invitation to an expensive but autstanding restaurant has been terribly gone wrong.
