Abusing freebiesA 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.

Re: BuffetNot me but my then flatmate.
His company was doing some work for a megacorp. The megacorp had a grand day out at the races with a BBQ, buffet and open bar afterwards.
Word was sent to those employees directly working for the megacorp that they, and they alone were invited, not the rest of the mob back at base.
On the big day, the megacorp staffers were surprised to see umpteen contractors, and their bosses show up with a "I'm one of the extra invitees, I work on the back end stuff so I'm included too" In short, nearly everybody turned up, even the receptionists.
Things got well out of hand quite early on when one of the free bars was raided and people were seen rolling away a couple of barrels of beer and carrying off slabs of cans. One of the bigwigs from the megacorp took a tour of the festivities that evening where he was loudly abused by a bunch of the contractors and had food thrown at him.
They were never asked back again and a ban was put on any contractor joining in on any future days out.
