This Lebanese Girl Shares Why Stinginess Is A Dealbreaker Between Friends

Some things just don’t fly in friendships, and for this Lebanese girl, stinginess is at the top of the list. She’s got a zero-tolerance policy for tightwads and fibbers, and honestly, who can blame her?

Stinginess was never normal

She made it clear: lying is bad, but stinginess is on a whole other level. According to her, every stingy person she’s met seems to have the same vibe—one she just can’t stand. She’s convinced that being stingy is a dealbreaker, and there’s no way she could ever be friends with someone who counts every penny.

Real-life drama over a $5 drink

To prove her point, she shared a wild story from her time in America. Picture this: her friend buys a $5 drink, can’t finish it, and offers her the rest. Sounds friendly, right? But then, plot twist! The friend actually asks her to pay $2.50 for drinking half. That’s right—she was expected to cough up cash for a leftover sip. The shock was real, and let’s just say, that friendship didn’t survive the bill split.

Lebanese style: Sharing is caring

She couldn’t help but compare this to how things go down in her Lebanese circle. There, it’s all about sharing and helping each other out—no one’s keeping tabs on who owes what for a coffee or a snack. If someone pays this time, the other covers it next time, and that’s just how it works. For her, generosity is the norm, and nitpicking over small change is just plain annoying. So, if you’re stingy, you might want to rethink your friendship strategy!
