The really sad thing is that this dude has a very well paying job, well over 100 grand a year. Acts like he can't afford a few bucks for gas, bait or food. It is really not about the money but the principle, when he said to me that it would cost me the same amount no matter if I took him along or went by myself so he couldn't see why I had said that usually people donate something for gas,bait or food. That was the last straw! Just an offer of $20.00 for fuel would have satisfied me, it would have shown me that he was somewhat grateful. I am not in the business of getting paid but boats are expensive to own and operate and he did have a day on the lake free of charge. Back to the start of last Friday, I did not invite him, he just showed up at my home and wanted to go fishing, I am retired, so with nothing else to do, we went fishing.
