FAIR WEATHER FRIENDS
'The kind of friends you ought to avoid at all costs if you don’t want to end up bankrupt.'

1) GENEROUS SPENDERS :

They generously spend YOUR money.
When we have generous spenders as friends in our midst, beware. It’s ironic how the word GENEROUS can sound so ominous.
‘Generous’ spenders are those who are unbelievably generous- with your food, with your clothing, with your belongings… and when you go out to restaurants with them, they are at their generous best- generously offer food to people and eat well themselves, and finally turn to you and say, ‘hey mate, I’m low on cash. Could you pay up, for old times sake?’Like I said, beware of ‘generous’ spenders or bewail later.

2) ‘LOO’ny ARTISTS:

LOO’ny ARTISTS don’t have any control over their bowels. The minute they sense a bill coming their direction, they just have to dash off to the loo at all costs, even if they are cleanliness freaks who can’t bear smelly loos and the loo at the restaurant stinks like hell.

3) ‘I’LL DEFINITELY PAY YOU BACK LATER- in 30-or-so-years- friends :

These are friends who have zero credit worthiness- you are doomed to irrecoverable bad debts if you have such people for friends. If by chance you happen to be a person who often goes abroad, you are on your way to a zero bank balance if you have such friends in your midst. For instance:
Hey, I heard you are going to the US of A soon. Could you get me the diamond crusted pen from there? It’s only around Rs.20000. No formalities between us. Will pay you back sometime.
STATUTORY WARNING: The ‘SOMETIME‘, like tomorrow, never comes

4) FRIENDS WITH SELECTIVE AMNESIA:
These are friends who remember every single thing- right from the red dress you own which they like and like to borrow from you, what you ate for breakfast last Friday, what they ate for breakfast last Wednesday, the swear words Mrs.Next Door used on the butcher due to his delay etc,etc,
I know, there is no sign of any kind of amnesia here. But watch out now.
You are at a posh restaurant, you have had your fill with your friends. You turn to ask him to pay his share of he bill and pat comes the reply : ‘Dude, can you pay for me as well, I forget to bring my wallet’
The underlined words here are ‘FORGOT’ and ‘WALLET’ They will remember everything in this world except their wallets.
Next time you are saddled with such friends, make sure you too have selective amnesia. In simpler terms you address him/her thus:
‘hey, do I know you?’
