Fight over the bill for a minimum of 35 minutes before conceding<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  Be assertive, really make it seem like you\u2019re ready to throw hands if you don\u2019t pay. Bring it up a minimum of 6 times after the fact. <\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c.tenor.com\/yviqHyLZZckAAAAC\/funny-fight-slap.gif\"width=\"70%\"><\/p>\n<p>  <b>2.

Refuse dyafe at least 5 times before finally giving in (even if you were really craving some)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  Your mom will be glaring at you from the corner of her eye to make sure you do just that.<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media4.giphy.com\/media\/3IUUsj2T8QRxiUB3bP\/giphy.gif\"width=\"70%\"><\/p>\n<p>  <b>5.

Bring in as much dyafe as possible even after they say \u201clashu t3azzabto\u201d or \u201cnehna jeena nshufkon\u201d like 20 times<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <b>10. And if you\u2019re the guest in that situation, act like you\u2019re annoyed that they\u2019re doing all that work<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  You know you\u2019re most excited for the dyafe.
