Rules of Bumming Vol 3: The Tack On Order


This move is only appropriate with your close friends who wont get very angry at you for doing it.  When your at a non sit down restaurant (eg a cafe, a sandwich shop, a bakery), allow your friend to order first then as they finish add your order on to theirs.

Sample:

Friend: (to cashier) I would like two cookies, a cupcake, and a blueberry muffin.
Me: And one cupcake with that.
Friend: Oh Matt your so slick.

The objective is to put the person in the position where they have to cancel your order or pay for it. More often then not your friend will end up paying for it.  Obviously use restraint with this one, as it is on of the doucheir moves in the book.  Do it to the same person too much and you might end up in an uncomfortable situation.  This move requires some guts, don't attempt it if you dont feel comfortable with it.
