1. He's invited for dinner, insists on buying the steaks (we're doing a grill outdoors thing), or at least on saying he'll buy them. Late in the day, decides instead he'll bring "the beer". Shows up that evening with "the beer" -- as in ONE BOTTLE OF BEER (a larger-than-normal bottle, granted, but not for more than two people who don't drink a lot of beer).
2. On another occassion, brings over a bottle of wine from his parents' house -- which bottle of wine is ALREADY OPEN! He says it's fine, because his parents have one of those air-sucker-outer cork-and-vacuum contraptions.
3. My husband tells this guy (!!) that I think he's a cheapskate (another story all its own), and the next time he shows up at the house, he brings over an almost-empty bag of chips and an old container of salsa.
Ha-fucking-ha.

I'm sure you of all people handled these situations with grace and tact. I probably would have said something that would get me in a world of trouble. However did you handle these?

Oh, God, yes. We're talking about a totally outrageous paradigm.

Excuse me, but "proactive" and "paradigm"? Aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that.
