Abusing freebies
A 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.

Beer glasses
Not sure if this is freebie abuse or plain theft but here we go...
Back in my hazy teenage drinking days I would regularly hit the town on a Friday night, as is the tradition. One night I was wearing a particularly baggy pair of trousers with very deep pockets, and fleece with one of those "unipockets" at the front.
After a few hours and a few more boozes, I started thinking it would be a good idea to see how many pint glasses I could stash in my combined pockets. I was sliding every glass that I or my mates finished drinking from into one of my many capacious pockets and then moving on tt the next bar.
After about an hour and a half I was laden down with pint glasses, shot glasses and tumblers and it was difficult to walk without making a lot of noise. To get to the next bar, I had to pass a couple of coppers, so I thrust hands in pockets and held everything tight to minimise the sounds I might generate. Looking as innocent as possible I sauntered past and just as I went by the second copper..."clink"...
"what you got in your pockets son?"
Bollocks.
I had to stand in the street and empty out 22 pint glasses, 4 tumblers and 20 shot glasses from my various pockets into the arms of one copper while the other asked me what I thought I was doing....
"I found them in the car park officer, I was just taking them back to the pub..."

For a second, I read that as being your response to the copper's question...
