Imagine being thirsty after a long practice and realizing you have $2, just enough for a gatorade. You get to the store as fast as you can to buy a gatorade and quench your thirst. As soon as you buy it, you get outside, open the cover, and realize all of your friends that were at practice with you are waiting for you, asking for a drink. No matter how bad you want to say no to them, you know you have to give them a drink because if not they'll think your gritz and will probably talk about how gritz you are to other people.
An experience I had with this problem was after one of the hardest basketball practices we had, after losing one of are games. At the end of practice i looked in my bag and realized I had $2. I was really thirsty so I started running to Superette to get me a gatorade with my money. Little did I know three of my teammates were following me to the store because they saw me grab money out of my bag. I was really thirsty and grouchy and didn't want to share, so when one of my friends asked me for a drink I told them no. They started to make me feel bad saying they bought stuff for me before and they gave me a drink of there gatorade when they had. I ended up giving them the gatorade after drinking about half of it. It's just one of those times where you have to share with your friends or else they start giving you the guilt treatment.
Giving up something you really want is really hard but sometimes you have to just go with it. Giving up my gatorade was really hard for me because I was so thirsty, but i know if I didn't give it to my friends they wouldn't like me as much. Sometimes you have to be sneaky to get what you want.
