It sounds like one of your bs stories. Im surprised, did you give yourself a fake name. After all the bs you've slung on here some bloke appears to have one upped you for the pauper you are and it hurt your feelings? DId you show him your Folex watch?

I've seen this sort of stuff in the OP with my own eyes. Probably been going on for decades in these bars. And therefore classifies as a "ritual". Maybe you dont care to admit on a polite farang forum that farangs behave this way.
May 16, 20241 yr I was sat in a bar once and a guy showed up with a push cart with party dresses for sale. I bought at least three for the girls. Quite good fun as I remember.

Bob has a habit of creating fictious stories like this about himself doing this. When a real one from someone happens in front of him his ability to understand and comment is inhibited, insulated or confused.

Good lord man, after 17 years on TV/AN you're as aware of the resident cheapy Charlies as I am, I'm not about to name and shame; though most are fairly shameless. As for 'Fred', whether real or a figment of Bob's imagination, good on him - why not spread a little happiness? .

I don´t really get what´s going on in their head, as you say. They just spend the cash and go home alone. Doesn´t really make any sense. However, I have never spent much thought about them.

And therefore classifies as a "ritual". I must confess, that I have been this guy at least one time (albeit on a smaller scale). I lived in Phuket for 15 years, then had to go back to Germany. On my first holiday back over -- I was still recognized in a surprising number of places and greeted with the same smile, money or not -- I went to all the bars that had accepted my previous cheap charlie ways and spent the "difference". Made me indeed feel good to give symbolically some of the happy mood and enjoyment back I had accumulated there over the years. Was this an ego thing? Maybe a little bit of that too, but I could afford it, and the memories I made were indeed priceless.

Not a new phenomenon by any means. Any average bloke can feel like a big baller flexing his muscles by merely throwing around small amounts of cash in patts. But you can't get what he gets out of it because you throw nickels around like manhole covers. If your wallet wasn't tighter than a bull’s arse during fly season then the girls might actually have something nice to say about you too.

May 16, 20241 yr I’ve done this but not on a regular basis. A small bar I would buy rounds for the 3-4 women at the bar. I don’t remember buying food. But I may have. I’ve been to places where guys have bought a round for the house. It makes the place a little more lively for the bar
