Times you felt slightly nitty - Poker Beats Brags and Variance

This is like the times you felt slightly baller thread, but in bizarro land.

Me:

-Being really disappointed that it's getting too cold at night to sleep in my car at rest stops or outside the casino anymore (I guess I could get a sleeping bag but I don't want to look even more like a homeless dude)

-Playing 500NL live or a $300-$400 buy-in tourney in a casino that is classy enough to have soda machines and getting up to walk all the way over to one so I don't have to tip the cocktail waitress a dollar

I've done this a couple times. I'll go to a bar/restaurant and not like the server's or bartender's tone of voice when talking to me. I then go into look for any reason to deduct money from their tip.

-i go look for the cocktail waitress to pay 1 dollar for the drink in tip form instead of 2 plus at the food court

- I refuse to pay for parking at a lot , so I have driven around hells kitchen or midtown for half an hour plus looking for a spot.

- I stopped buying roasted peanuts for like 5 years when they went from 1 dollar to 2 overnight

- I drive around the turnpike to avoid its tolls .

On my way to sands I take the free bridge on the phillipsburg/easton border to avoid paying the dollar toll
- I can't bring myself to buy the 6 inch sub , even though I am not that hungry , when the 12 inch is only a dollar or 2 more.

Couple of randoms I can think of. Fairly standard.

- always sneaking food into the cinemas to save a few dollars
- eat early just to get early bird special, even if not that hungry yet.

I fear I may be missing something here. Are we talking about cans or bottles in a bag, or is the beer just loose in a plastic bag that you shut like a ziploc?

If it's the first, then OK, that's cool. If it's the second (like you keep kegs at home and transport small amounts of beer in the bags), then that's awesome, and you're awesome.

Occasionally spend the day naked at home when starting to run out of clean clothes.

But it's more of a laziness-management thing because washing machines are in the basement in the next building and also I don't wanna run out of detergent too often because then I have to go and buy that too. I think I should get a new gf soon imo so that these things fix themselves

The other night after my biatch left me i went on a ten hour boozing session with no gambling whatsoever .. on the way home i remembered an old f'k buddy and drove to her house , i knocked her window a few times but no answer so i fell into my van and fell asleep , next morning it wouldn't start so i climbed into the back and masturbated into a bucket .. a bit later i sobered up , pubs opened again and i rolled in for another ten pints

Pick up coins at the toll booth (you know ones where you can toss the change in .. a lot of people miss lol).

Look around for slot machines that have a couple cents left.
