Real talk.
Thats all theres is about this.
Hey, hold up! Let’s get this straight. First off, fuck you guys who are going “Duh…who cares about just $10?” Yes, given, ten bucks is chump change, great. That’s not the point of this thread. The point of this thread is to see who is theoretically in the right. It’s like I’m asking “Why did the chicken cross the road?” and all you douchebags are like “Um…chickens are kept in cages, why would it cross a road? OMG THREAD FTL”
Or like someone’s asking hypothetically if you’d bang Beyonce…or Ester instead. And you guys are going “Well none of us will ever have the chance to bang either of them anyway, so this discussion is pointless. CLOSE TEH THREAD!” So shut the fuck up with that.
You were going to the movies anyway, correct? So you were going to buy a $10 ticket anyway. To you, that $10’s already allocated to your ticket buying fund for this night anyway.
Your brother owns the coupon. It’s HIS coupon, correct? Thus all benefits of the coupon are his, and his alone to benefit from. In theory. He owns the right to the free ticket.
So if you’ve already set aside $10 for the price of a full ticket…what does it matter to you whether or not he piggybacks on your original ticket purchase for the free ticket? He could have piggybacked on any other ticket buyer…and so YOU are being the ass by not allowing him to piggyback off your ticket purchase…which you were going to buy straight up anyway! Him redeeming a free ticket comes at ZERO cost to you. In fact, you went out of your way to DENY him from redeeming his ticket. That sounds like an asshole move to me.
Your brother has a ticket worth one free ticket. Coupon = one ticket = $10. And you’re asking for five bucks of his money? So he has a free ticket, worth $10, and YOU are asking HIM to split what’s HIS with YOU. How does that make sense? YOU are the moocher!
YES, in every conceivably situation, people generally just go “Oh okay, my treat.” because in the end, fuck it, it’s just ten bucks, whatever. And you’re brothers, who are supposed to look out for each other anyway. And so obviously, you are both bitches for letting something so trivial become an actual argument that you need random strangers on the internet to settle for you. And yes, your brother is an idiot for not watching Rambo.
But whatever - from a purely theoretical, logical standpoint…I can’t understand how he was in the wrong.
If you side with Javid, YOU are of the mooching state of mind.
Personally if it was my little brother, I’d go along with it. If it’s a friend who’s trying to do that, I’d be like Nah, split the cost.
Its just $10
Go see Rambo… and tell him that he missed out on some Sly action all because he wanted to be a Nancy.
His coupon? then he should pay the ticket and get someone in for free… not someone else buy the ticket and get HIM for free… its his coupon… for him to invite someone, thats how i see it, if i have a coupon worth a free pass buying one pass, then i invite someone, “hey lets go to the movies, dont worry bout the money, i got a buy one get one free, ill pay SINCE I AM INVITING YOU”
your logic is flawed.
I’d think the fact that your brother isn’t cool with splitting a ten would make you not cool with it.
But, I dunno, that’s me so, whatever.
This is a small issue though so they should joke about it later.
He never said nothing about snacks, so don’t try to include that in the equation as well. You’re just making stuff up at this point.
That’s all irrelevant to the discussion at hand. We are talking ONLY about the price of the ticket and the coupon.
Who’s getting the free ride? Does Javid have to do anything at all, contribute any money, time, or effort towards his brother redeeming his ticket? No, because he was going to (and has gone to) spend the $10 anyway. Javid tried to mooch five bucks worth of his brother’s assets.
Case closed, end of that discussion.
If we want to get further into it, then yeah, it’s kinda stupid how two brothers got so bitchy at each other that one of them was like “Fuck it, I’m not hanging out with your mooching ass today.”
So in the end, I guess they are both dumbasses for not providing the brotherly love that their parents expect of them. Shame on both you and your brother Javid, for not looking out and caring for each other. You’re family son, what’s thicker than blood? :sad:
You got it wrong. Because you are of the mooching state of mind, expecting others to treat you to free movies. You pay for what’s yours, you’re responsible for your own stuff. Javid is going to the movies. He is responsible for his ticket regardless of coupon or not.
Javid is the one going to the movies. He has already decided to spend $10 on a ticket. Regardless of what his brother’s up to, Javid is setting out tonight thinking “I AM GOING TO USE THIS TEN DOLLARS OF MINE TO PURCHASE A TICKET AND HAVE A FUN TIME.”
Then…his brother is like “Hey, since you are already watching a movie, I’ll come along!” From Javid’s perspective, what does he care how much his brother’s going to pay for a ticket? Ten, five, or zero bucks…what does he care? He doesn’t need to pay for it.
Javid’s a mooch for asking for the five bucks, but his brother’s also a whiny bitch for sitting out because he doesn’t want to split what’s his…but whatever, all that’s irrelevant.
gravy
Just my opinion,but I think that is kind of irrelevant.
If we talk about ONLY the price of admission,Javid was going to end up having to pay $10.End of discussion.No matter who it comes from he WILL have to pay $10 to get in.
Having said that,it’s only $10.
The brother paying $5 kind of defeats the purpose of the free admission ticket since Javid no matter what would have ended up paying $10 to get in.
The fact that he was going to go without the little brother anyways,tells us that he wasn’t hurting or actually NEEDED the extra $5 to get into the movie because all he had was $5 on his person.
It’s petty as fuck,but I’m guessing they don’t get along.
Haha nah… my little brother & I are cool with each other. We grew up buying each other shit when we feel like it, so we’re not greedy like that. If he busted out the coupon, I would just say I’ll pay for you… he wouldn’t ask for me to pay for him. And then he’d probably buy the popcorn & drinks, which are more than the fucking movie tickets nowadays anyway.
haha, he sounded like he would be a younger brother, deciding not to go to the movie and all.
…
Wow.
No, still immeasurably stupid.
Yeah, if that was an older brother… that guy needs to get a penis.
There’s good arguments for both sides but the clearest point that hasn’t been brought up has to be who decided to go to the movie.
If you’re brother invited you to go out to the movie then he is clearly a fucking dumbass. You simply don’t invite someone out and go “Oh by the way, you’re paying.”
Again, it’s just a movie ticket in this case. If he’s always like this then you just need to let him know he needs to man up because no one (especially you) is going to take this type of shit from him.
Hey, you got pizzapizza AND a BOGO movie ticket.
Can’t have both.
I feel that 100% especailly if it’s a mutual understanding…and over something as small as a movie ticket.
But I think everyone here agrees that in the long run you can’t put a price on family. So it’s all good. Having given it thought I guess it would depend on the situation. for the record I have like 14 brothers. no joke.
Ok, well I just came back from the movie. Rambo is a fucking BEAST!
So, let me get in on this again. He is my little brother so assumptions are good there. My problem isn’t about covering my brother for shit. I buy him food and cover his ass all the time, and he does it for me also. We’re cool like that.
Now, it is $10 bucks and yeah it ain’t a big deal here. To me, it’s the whole principal. Yeah, Carpet Lint you bring up a very valid point. But that doesn’t change the fact that he is getting a free ride from me.
I don’t know if it’s just me here, but I think it would seem fair that the cost be split up. Than again, you gotta understand where I’m coming from here. I don’t get this kinda thinking out of nowhere. I pay for the internet, car insurance, and a whole bunch of other shit. All of this benefits him since I give him rides places and he uses the internet anyways…same analogy somewhat.
Oh well, the whole thing is done and over with. Maybe next time I’ll take a different approach. Thanks for the input guys! :wgrin:
In short, the real dumbass is Quan.
