If you don't want to actually call him on it...next time he asks where you're going, say you're not sure and then just all leave without him. Do this a few times and he'll get the hint....unless he has Asperger's, haha.
Wow, I just googled Asperger's and read all about it. I don't think this kid has it but I think I know some people who may...haha, I'll tell him to order his "ass-a-burger"...lol

This kid can get you in trouble maybe at work and not even realize what he is doing since he has a different perception. just my opinion. I have dealt with people like that and it only gets worse from there. Good luck.
Good point, he is a little socially dis-articulated

Yes he is being cheap, no doubt about it. It's almost as if he feels better than us because he doesn't spend money on lunch...like he read some article on the homepage of yahoo.com about "10 ways to save money everyday" and he cut out starbucks and going out to lunch, and now he thinks he is going to retire a millionaire at 40 because of it...

Actually reminds me of a friend growing up. No matter where we ate with his family (large family) he brought mcdonalds. One of the pickiest eaters ever.
I wouldn't knock him if he just wanted to tag along, but he insists on bringing his lunch.

haha, def. going to have to try this. I was talking with the other guys, we all might order him some expensive dish when he isn't at the table and then he'll freak out when the server brings it...
