The world's stingiest man chapter 2 (comedy)

The next morning, the woman woke up with a terrible stomachache and had to stay in the bathroom all day. She was really not feeling well, and every step was a struggle. When she finally managed to come out of the bathroom, she tripped on her pants that she had forgotten to pull up when she rushed in earlier. She fainted and woke up the next morning again, this time with several missed calls and messages on her phone.

I felt worried and decided to call her one more time to thank her for the incredibly cheap dinner. When she answered, her voice sounded weak and tired.

"I just want to thank you for the memorable dinner last night," I said cheerfully. "It was truly an experience."

She replied with a weak voice, "Yes, I'll probably never forget it. But not in a good way. I've never felt so sick in my entire life."

I was a bit surprised and wondered what could have caused her discomfort. I decided to be honest and explained my recipe to her. I told her about the potting soil with concrete and coffee grounds and the fluffy result.

There was silence for a few seconds, and then I heard her exclaim, "You served me what? Are you serious? That's what made me sick?!"

She sounded furious and disappointed at the same time. I tried to explain that I had just wanted to be creative and save money, but she wasn't convinced. We didn't talk anymore after that conversation, and I realized that my quest to be thrifty had gone too far this time.

So, I learned that there are limits to how much you can save on a date, and it's important to consider your partner's well-being. Sometimes it's best to go for something a bit more conventional and tasteful, even if it costs a little more, to avoid ending up in a stomachache of this magnitude.

When I tried to explain to her that I had only wanted to be creative and save money, she became even more irritated and said, "But didn't you like the exquisite dish?!"

The story teaches us that there are limits to how much you can save on a date and that it's important to prioritize your partner's well-being. Sometimes it's best to opt for something more conventional and delicious, even if it costs a little more, to avoid ending up in such a stomachache.

It was an invaluable lesson for me that day. I realized that sometimes it's more important to make someone else happy and comfortable than to save money. My attempt to be the stingiest man had become my most memorable, but in an entirely wrong way. I promised myself never to compromise my principles in such an absurd manner again and to focus on making people I care about happy in a more traditional and loving way.

The end!
