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.

Grotty Little Bedsit
While living in one of those wouldn't-keep-my-dog-in-it bedsits that everyone seems to live in at some point, I realised that I hadn't put a quid in the electric meter for about a month. Turns out that my landlord, in the best tradition of tightarse builders everywhere, had cocked up the install of said meter and it was paying out in free electric.
My grotty little bedsit was thereafter always warm and always packed with computery types having LAN parties. I lived there for about a year and, when the time came to leave, I snuck away in the middle of the night and posted the keys through the landlord's door. I dread to think what his final bill was like.
