Abusing freebiesA friend of mine recently attended a 'Champaign Lunch', where he was compelled drink as much fizzy stuff as he could between the first and last courses. In an ideal world we'd ask restaurant staff to tell us stories about fatties stuffing themselves at All You Can Eat places, but we recognise that our members don't all work in the catering trade, so for the rest of you - tell us something about abusing freebies. BTW: Bee puns = you fail.

My freebies were abused...I was recently sent to an event out in the country where I was expected to support my client's cause during the day, fending off bogans and handing out showbags to boagnlettes all day, and put major dents in the free bar during the night.
In return for our showbag proffering, we were put up in a hotel, and as mentioned, had all our food and drink supplied. Which was nice.
Unfortunately I was sharing a hotel room with one of the most important people on the client side, so had to be very careful of stumbling in drunk and being generally raucous. I almost managed this.
Anyways, as a further thank you (all you eat/drink not considered being enough) they left us some lovely little showbags full of tat.
I returned to the hotel one afternoon to shower and get changed before drinking and eating myself into oblivion, and noticed my show-bag. Full of goodies it was! Hats and stickers, sweets and toys, all kinds of stuff. I pocketed a stubby holder and legged it back to the venue, all clean and shiny and thoroughly grateful to my client for supplying me such bounty that I couldn't wait to get into once safe and sound back home.
Made good use of the stubby holder that night and retired to bed. I rose very, very early the next morning to get back to civilsation.
All to aware of my very important room-mate, I didn't make a sound, just got up, threw on some clothes, grabbed my bags and headed out the door.
It wasn't until I got home that I discovered that the important client man had stolen all the good stuff from my show-bag. I was left with some mints, a panadol and a handful of flyers from various goods and services that are offered in this weird country town.
He stole my tat! The head of PR for one of Australia's largest companies and he feels the need to steal my tat. I am so outraged that I want to tell everyone, client or not, but this would reveal a) that he is a tat thief and b) I was actually excited about said-tat.
Woe is me. I guess my tale of loss shall forever have to live on the internets for your singular enjoyment.
