Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" ! Hello again, Tina! This is another of your real-life, comical experiences you're sharing, and I envy you for doing it. Not a lot folks would do that, but I'm glad to see you're showing us examples of what to expect (and do/not do) should anyone ever find themselves in similar situation. I'm glad to see that these cheapskates got their comeuppance, and you did a fine job of telling this. I'm a little surprised you and your friend didn't end the date after the movies! But then again, if you had, you likely wouldn't have gotten your $$$ back at all! Excellent spelling and grammar, but I did spot a few niggles (this is where you'll see me for the spelling and grammar Nazi that I am, and you'll tell me to never review one of your pieces again!): 'She dang new blew my eardrum' (near?) 'a few miles out fo town were country bumpkins' (of, where) 'I assured them(,) I was just going to add some water' (don't need that comma) Otherwise, bravo! Kee ponw ritin gon, Tina! 'Twas a pleasure to read, thanks for the chuckles, and have a marvelous day/eveing/tomorrow!
