Bum Etiquette

So we all have experienced those times of no money and being flat broke. Some times it wares on your confidence and you feel like you can't get women and can't party without a job and a fat wad of dough. I am an experienced bum and I intend to teach you how to roll with people with money when you have none of your own.


1. Always bring the party
If you're going to be a bum who is constantly tapping into your group's resources you better prove your worth. Nobody wants to smoke a guy out if all he's going to do is sit there and stare at the tv. Do your best to entertain whoever is helping you out with a free smoke/drinks/etc. If you bummed a ride to the party introduce the driver to the people you know there. If people can use you for social leverage they won't mind providing you with party materials.


2. Bumming with respect
Not everybody takes kindly to bums. It is very easy to look like a scum bag if you don't have proper etiquette. Only bum a cigarette if the person is already smoking. Act gracious if they do bum you a cigarette. Talk to them while you smoke and be entertaining. Also switch up who you bum from if you can. If someone says no that's the end of discussion do not pester them further, maybe even wait a few days before you try to bum again.

3. Hook people up in anyway that you can
If you are a bum or soon to become bum the hook up system is going to be your best friend. Since you have no money it is wise to network as much as you can and find parties. Hook people up with parties when they let you bum all the time. Introduce them to girls, show them you're a worthy bum to support.

(I'm considering making a more detailed version of this later on let me know what you think)
