Question #1: Have you ever been out with friends for dinner and excused yourself just as the bill came to avoid chipping in?

B: I'll be honest – I've thought about it
C: Yes, and I can't count how many times (is that wrong?)

A: Bought one of what they were offering
B: Told them you bought at the office
C: Shut the blinds and turned off the lights when you saw them coming
