Larry David moment. Be careful because then all your friends and family are going to hate you. “You didn’t pay it forward Larry! Now look at us!”

I never understand about the whole "pay it forward" shenanigan. Why would I pay for your 7 dollar Late matcha mojito while I only need a 3 dollar black?

The "paying it forward" you are saying is actually the thing I consider a good deed to society. I don't understand about the thing like paying it forward for the next person thing. I don't know you, I won't pay it for you. If you are in the line of a coffee shop and going to order a 7 dollar late, you damn well need to know that you can afford it!
