Frat parties suck. There is nothing fun about them, and anyone claiming otherwise has almost certainly never experienced one sober. They are, first of all, disgusting. The floor is always disturbingly sticky and littered with crushed beer cans and trash. The smell of sweat is rivaled only by that of stale beer and an assortment of vape flavors.The “authorities” at said parties, despite the fact that they are just frat guys, seem to have some inexplicable desire to prove that they are in charge, making the environment unpleasant from the second you step up to the house. They delight in asking to check your bag when it is clear that you are not holding a bag, or to see your wristband when it has only briefly slipped under your sleeve. They feel the need to berate everyone about the manner in which they should exit the house, because apparently removing your wristband in the wrong spot is highly offensive.

A Common Quandary to discuss

The luxury hotel charges too much and will never miss one robe. Do you pack it?

After an expensive hotel stay, you notice a plush robe without a price tag or warning. The room cost more than expected, several promised amenities were unavailable, and you convince yourself the robe is probably included.

When does feeling overcharged become permission to compensate yourself?
