I feel the same way.

I carry a money clip with my spending cash, which usually isn't a whole lot. Then I always keep at least $60 in cash in my wallet that I never touch unless I need it. Most places take cards now, but some still do not.

Plus, if I get mugged, I'd rather hand them $60 or whatever in cash out of my wallet than them taking my credit cards, ID, phone, whatever. $60 is worth not having to hassle with replacing all that crap.
What makes you think if you're mugged they aren't going to just say give me the whole damn wallet?

If they do, they do. But I'll try to at least reason with them first. All the other crap doesn't do them much good once I cancel them all.

That doesn't excuse you turds always making the excuse of never having cash, and having to bum $5 here and there from good guys like me and omaha.

I don't carry much cash ether, but I try to keep around $10 on me for emergencies.

Maybe its dumb of me to carry cash. If I didn't, I could say, "oooh, sorry, i don't have any cash on me.. you'll have to pay for me, thanks", and then someone would. hmm...

What exactly are you talking about here? Is this a lunch? Or did something come up?

If this is for lunch, then I can see your frustration. One knows they're going to eat, after all.

I actually have $20 in cash today, but that is rare. I always use a check card. But I knew I would need cash for something on Saturday, so I stopped by an ATM. Which, basically, is your point.

Perhaps when you go out with this person or persons, as you're heading out ask, "Do we need to stop by an ATM first?" Or, if you're meeting them, "I'll leave in a few minutes. That should give you enough time to go by your ATM." :wink:

No. People needing to stop by the ATM every single time you try to go out to lunch is even more annoying.

Just carry some freaking cash. It's not like it weighs 25 pounds or will give you cancer.

it just happens randomly,

we go out to eat at one of our favorite places and the don't take cards.. and
no matter who we go with, when the bill comes what do i hear? "ooh.. sorry, i don't
have any cash"..

we go to the bar.. my buddy comes up to me.. can you give me a couple bucks for a tip..
i don't have any cash..

today at work there was a donation thing.. i ended up putting in for 4 people cause
they "didn't have any cash"..

i don't know..maybe i just notice it more cause i do always keep some on me..

Omaha...you need to go on strike. Seriously, just say you don't have any cash (or leave your cash at the office the next time you go to lunch). Make the others ante up for once! They are taking advantage of you, time to put an end to it.
