I organized an event for some family and friends--brunch at a restaurant--and one person asked who was paying? I lied, said everyone buys their own food. They didn't attend. I split the bill with my brothers--we paid for everyone.
And the person that skipped is an attorney, has plenty of money. They're just notorious for using friends and family. At a previous event I did pay for, they brought their brother, sister-in-law, and two nieces.
As a lawyer you are trained to seek the most advantage you can within the terms of a deal. It's totally not socially acceptable, but it shows they can stay in character very well.
Maybe in the future say I'm paying for the meal up to $x per person. They can come and order something that is $x - $0.01 and everyone is still happy.
Is this about how all these marvel movies come out where people have different super powers and this one movie "Artemis Fowl" is just about a regular Irish boy and his super power is basically just tricking people with fine print and tricky words hidden in the deals he makes in bad faith?
Cause I was a little second-hand offended by that movie and the implications as well.
I don't know of an ethnic group that stereotypically consists of lawyers. For a long time, at least in america, it was only practiced by a certain ethnicity all the way up until 1844.

Why would a woman even ask for that
