The Art of Freeloading.

Being a pukka Klite...(have always wanted to use that word..rudyard kipling popularised it when he used the phrase *pukka sahib* a lot in his works)....freeloading is something you do a lot.

Now, some may say..gad, its so degrading (mom especially), but the bottom line is..its legal..so why not?

For those people whom have never freeloaded in their lives simply because their morals sream against it or due to downright snobbishness....pay attention closely...what you are about to read is disgusting, but if you take my advice on freeloading, it can pretty fun.

NOTHING BEATS THE KICK YOU GET FROM FREELOADING UNDER KILLER STARES!

There are two styles of freeloading:


COURTEOUS FREELOADING:

This is subtle freeloading. Do whatever you want and push the boundaries of freeloading..but remember the golden rule..BUY something at the poor place once your done with it.

This style is usually reserved by me for places i frequent to avoid me getting bad service and killer stares (difficult to explain to parents who are the main reason you frequent these places cause they pay).

All ice cream parlours are open to this treatment. Try every flavour (Baskin Robbins is the best cos they have 33 ...not sure about this fact, the number of tubs seem less than 33....neways...end of the day, with luck, you will get a free scoop this way..*multiflavoured of course*.


Auntie Anne's Pretzels are my fave too. They have this basket of free samples that anone can try and sometimes (depending on luck) they don't chop up the samples properly, leaving you with large cunks of pretzels. There was once this time i got half a chocolate pretzel that wasn't chopped properly...i didn't buy anything that day too..*goes red*....




SHAMELESS FREELOADING THAT WOULD CAUSE AUNTS TO BURY HEADS IN SHAME.


Freeloading without rules. Its shameless and downright cheap....but for satisfaction, nothing beats this style. Its reserved for places that are foolish enough to give loads and loads of free samples with me around. Add in the fact that i will never again visit that place..and you have a recipe for shamelessness.

I have dine this once this year so far.....


Bangsar Village 2 ......there is this kitchen utensil place on the second floor that was demonstrating a chocolate fountain in free flow. The attendant even had three plastic containers each filled with biscuits, marshmallows and strawberries. Now, i don't care much for marshmallow (you can be picky in this style of freeloading too) and i zeroed in on the remaining two containers.
Lets not go into details, but bottomline is, i finished both plastic containers under *i will chop you and feed you to my goldfish* looks. Then, i went ahead and asked for a spoon. "Why?" she snapped. "I need to taste the chocolate better to know for sure if its palatable"...was the reply. This was the limit i think. She mumbled something about not having spoons despite it being a kitchen utensil place and i took the cue and ambled off.


LOLZ....cheers mates...:P
