Why is it that people borrow money from you then immediately offer to buy

I like this one - I work in a pub so I have seen this many times! lol I am not too sure why they do it - think if they are having to borrow money they may as well have a drink together to seal the deal?

i think it is just to say thank you for lending them the money to be honest.

for good tydings? or to show the appreciation of the loan.

Yes well I have noticed this quite a few times in my life and I think that they feel obliged to buy something due to they have money whether this be your money or someone else this is what most people do.

Hoping to get them too drunk to remember loaning the money.

I do this often. I think it is so that the blow of borrowing money will be softened by generosity. I remember one nigth I went borrow £30 off of my friend so I went and bought in a orund for 3 of us and it was £10. The money was intended to last me a few days but yet instantly I had spent a third of it and I thought I was crazy. I am glad you have said that other poeple do it too though. Whenever someone tried this with me I tell them that they are mad and refure it. I suppose some people accept it as interest on the borrowings. But anyway, you watch Emmerdale? I think it is totally rubbish but do find myself watching it often unfortunatley. It is on at that time when it is just rubbish on the other channels. I think that is why it's ratings are so good.
