If you care about budgets sexy, this guide gets straight to the point. We break down what actually matters, skip the fluff, and show you how to put it to work today.
Key Takeaways
- And my oh my has that guy changed.
- A complete 180 from a shy little comic nerd to a larger - more manly- ‘stache sportin’ art aficionado.
- Which is literally 2 feet behind us.
- More importantly, i mean, this is a pretty hip art reveal you know ;) And while I do happen to like it, the beer itself is irrelevant.
What to Know About Budgets Sexy
We reveal up not knowing a soul - which is okay since it’s an art reveal, not a house party - and fast realize it was “semi-formal” attire. We get to the end of the first wall, when I - almost literally - run into an old friend from college I hadn’t seen in at LEAST 13 years.
Worth noting: bartender-of-the-year behind it, and a gaggle of girls flocking near him (he’s mighty attractive). Oh, and there’s a large honkin’ pointer jar in front too - which will become pretty key in about 30 seconds. So the friend I came with wanders off knowing I’m about to chat this guy’s ear off for a solid 10 minutes (which actually turns into almost 40) and about mid-method through our convo I realize I’m damn thirsty for an ice old beer.
How Budgets Sexy Really Works
I do the quick “time-out” gesture a la 3rd grade, and fast ask Hottie McBartender for “a cold one.” Which naturally means “Pabst Blue Ribbon,” of course. What is NOT irrelevant, though, was that large pointer jar I mentioned just a handful of seconds ago.
The one now staring me in the face, along with my new old friend and the most handsome bartender near (have I mentioned how solid looking he was yet?). My friend mentions it’s an open bar, and I think to myself - “Excellent!
Getting the Most From Budgets Sexy
Remember that all I gotta do is pointer then.” And this is where the dilemma comes in… I reach into my pocket to pull out a crisp $1 bill - the most agreed upon pointer when it comes to drinking beer - free or not - and out comes a $10 bill. That’s not what I wish!!
I joke near and say something like “Hah! It doesn’t taste *that* solid!” and thrust my hand right back into my pocket to see what else I could find.
Tips That Make a Difference
As a rule, and within the half-second it took me to get there and back, the horror sets in that - nope, you do NOT have any of those dollar bills you were just blogging about 24 hours ago. You spent them all on junk food, you idiot!
Considering both manly men were looking directly at me, though, the latter was fast rejected. Leaving me with either committing a major faux pas (at least that’s what my Spidey sense tells me?), or just sucking it up and dropping the $10 all the while pretending I’m not phased in the least. “Ummm… (nervous laugh, nervous laugh)…” “Here you go.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
In short, don’t spend it all in one place!” <, - Who AM I? My parents????” I bit the bullet and went with route #1: Essentially paying $10.00 for a PBR.
I figured it’s not *that* much money at the end of the day, and better to avoid any (more) awkwardness than I probably wanted to deal with anyways (my brain typically defaults to the “quick method out” in cases like these, whether I like it or not). And plus, it’s not like I had a million years to think about it or anything - the whole aspect probably happened within milliseconds.
Is Budgets Sexy Worth It?
Worth noting: it just seemed like it took forever. And just like that the music turned right back on (you know, cuz it had come to a screeching halt while everyone gawked in anticipation ;)) and all was well in the world again.
Except, of course, for my wallet. ‘Cuz not only was I out $10 now, but I was out of ALL CASH ON ME which as you now know is nightmare #2. My friend and I finished our conversation, I grabbed my other friend, and 10 mins later we were out the door almost as fast as we came in.
Where the Real Savings Hide
More importantly, who I then, of course, relayed the whole scenario to and asked what she would have done in my place. Her answer? “Probably the same as you…” Exactly what I wanted to hear, but also exactly what a solid friend tells another solid friend in times like these ;) Overall it was a excellent experience, though, and even better seeing an old friend.
It is what it is, and we now have this fun blog post out of it, right? Which also means I get to ask YOU the same question now too (and don’t you provide me the answer I *wish* to hear, sirs and madams!): What would you have done if you were me?
A Closer Look at Budgets Sexy
Remember that dropped the $10, dropped nothing at all, or dropped your hand into the jar and snag yourself some change? The funny aspect is I’d have been better off if the open bar was actually just a cash one ‘cuz for $10.00 I could have gotten a whole CASE of PBR! ;) , , , - Photo credit: DieselDemon (Visited 21 times, 1 visits right now) Get blog posts automatically emailed to you!
