How to be a MOOCH!

-622873638

The Urban Dictionary says a Mooch is; A scab or freeloader who comes to your house uninvited and overstays his welcome (For more than about 3 days) and proceeds to eat all your food, stink up your bathroom, take all your drugs and just generally leech all the blood from your body during their stay. Hm, look- we've all had mooch-y moments and with the economy at in the midst of a "rough patch" mooching isn't a bad idea....it's simply financially shrewd? Or so you could say. Here's how to spot a mooch or how to be one:

"Do you mind if I crash here tonight....."

COUCH SURF!!!!!

Be that “crazy guest” who’s simply too much fun to kick out…that means, don’t break anything within the first week.

"Do you mind if I throw a couple things in with your load???"

Washing clothing is expensive, no doubt. And so is Febreze. Sadly, being stinky is really inexpensive but also really unattractive- especially since freeloading isn’t a solitary activity and you really don’t want to offend the people you’re sponging off of.

One of the best ways to get away with “sharing a load” is by acting like you “just so happen to have some dirty clothes with you- really just a couple things, that could use a wash.” Then, your friend thinks it’s no big deal to have you throw some stuff in….when really you’re throwing in your entire wardrobe. The best part about mooching on laundry is that you don’t have to worry about buying or lugging around detergent.

MOOCHERS LOVE FREE BOOZE

Mooching is all about getting more for LESS.

Mooching can also mean……not having too much pride to GO TO THAT HIGH SCHOOL PARTY THAT YOU GOT INVITED TO, BECAUSE THERE WILL BE A SH*LOAD OF FREE BOOZE AND BEER PONG TOURNAMENTS.

Whenever people start playing drinking games you’re guaranteed to get more booze for less money, because when people start drinking- they’re judgment goes out the window and they’re all about sharing.

Beer Pong, Seven’s, Apples to Apples (the drinking version) are all good choices. As is going out to a bar where people are ordering pitchers…..fill it up!!!!

It isn’t completely off base for a moocher to lack in transportation. In fact, it’s quite common. And this is why…..WE ENABLE THEIR IMMOBILITY BY PICKING THEM UP!!!!

There is always some sucker who is willing to, “swing by” on their way somewhere and “give them a lift.”

How you get away with this- when asking, make it sound like it’s super convenient for the driver and always, always say, “you’ll get them some gas….” only after you notice there tank is already full then- just forget that you even offered.

If you've been a victim:

 

LEARN TO LOVE THE COUCH

When attempting to get some “free rent” for a little bit you have to start off without officially ASKING if you “move in” temporarily, but instead…just asking if you can crash.

It’s best to try this method when you’ve had a long night of boozing and you get your friends to worry that it isn’t that safe for you to drive home. They have no idea that they whole idea was to get too sh*tty that they technically, “offered” to let you CRASH…then- after you’ve successfully crashed for ONE NIGHT, you try two night. The way you move into the two night method is by first; sleeping in. Second, going out and grabbing a bite of food or getting really involved in something that will take a lot of time i.e. watching a movie, playing video games, getting stoned, coloring, etc. Thus, the second nighter isn’t even a question- did I mention you have to involve drinking in the second night as well…..

THEN, after you’ve crossed the two nights, you’re comfortable enough and they’re comfortable enough to have you around that it’s almost STRANGE not having you there- thus the undetermined time period of “crashing” begins.

NOTE: If you plan on crashing it’s easer if you don’t have a car and if you have a trashbag of clothing and a toothebrush. Bad breath with quickly get you kicked out.

"MM....Can I have a bite of that???"

Asking very nonchalantly if you can have “just a bite” of something is the easiest way for a mooch to get fed. The key is: going in for the bite before the person can give you the answer. So as you ask you’re already poking into their steak, or licking your fingers from the bite you are inserting into your mouth as you give them a polite “asking” without the politeness.

Other very POPULAR PHRASES:

“Are you done with that??”

“Oh? You weren’t going to eat that were you??”

"Can I have a drag???"

...the one drag turns into an entire cig.

Extracurricular activities like drinking and smoking usually are on the moochers agenda, but with no intention on actually paying for any of them. Asking various people if you can “bum a cigarette” will end up being about a pack anyway, so why buy your own?

Drink from your friends GIANT PITCHERS

You can always try this one......

But not more than twice.

HEY DUDE, I TOTALLY FORGOT MY WALLET….You don’t mind getting me do you???”


"HEY, CAN I GET A LIFT....."

Widget_blwzdmxblmwjut4cibrt5q

To be a succesful moocher you have to.....

LEAVE YOUR MOOCHIES WITH EMPTY PROMISES LIKE- Hey man, I’ll getcha next time.


…..which means, never.

I think I’ll be mooch-prone in my life because I looooooove cooking/providing for others. I’m gonna get so used and abused.

You know you're going to give your kid a complex if you call them "The Mean Bean" instead of; sweetiepie, sugar face, bear, etc. My nickname stuck- even when I got nicer. AND my affinity for all things BEAN happens to be tremendous; Coffee beans (my coffee feign), Cocoa beans, Vanilla beans, chic...
