Hi (person i work with) and (another person i work with)!
At the happy hour yesterday the managers covered the appetizers while we covered our own beverages. I covered your beverages. Your diet cokes were $2.50 each so I contributed $3.50 each to cover tax and tip. If you could pay me back that would be great!
Thanks! :-)

this email -- with original names in place of the redacted ones, because this is, after all, an anony-blog -- hit my inbox at 3 p.m. today. it quite certainly is the most bizarre thing that's ever happened to me at work.
and you know what makes it for me? the smiley face at the end.
"hi! i'm cheap! :-)"

I'm not trying to top your story but since we are coworkers, I figured I would share my experience.
After a HORRIBLE catalog a couple years ago,we were invited to a "Thank God It's Over" Happy Hour. We all had a drink or two and there were appetizers. A few women left before I did, and I noticed they were giving the organizer money! I decided to leave as well since I only went for what I thought would be a free drink. I gave the organizer $20 to -amply- cover a Bloody Mary, my part of the appetizers and tax and tip.
To make matters worse, I heard the next day that the vendor paid for the whole thing! And the woman I gave money to didn't even tell me! After two days of waiting for her to say, "Hey, the vendor paid, I have money to give back," I finally contacted her and asked for it. I was SO MAD!

I was at said happy hour and this person insisted on making it known to everyone (several times because it was loud and no was listening) the they we going to go ahead and pay for said people. I felt like telling them to shut up. that is all
