Splitting a bill among friends can get messy, especially when some people order way more than others. A Reddit user shared their story about going out with friends Greg, Susan, and Dan. Greg and Susan had a habit of ordering expensive meals, expecting everyone else to split the cost evenly. The Reddit user, tired of being taken advantage of, made it clear beforehand they would only pay for what they ordered.

At the dinner, Greg and Susan racked up a $200 bill, while the Reddit user only ordered a drink. When the check came, they put down $10 for their drink and walked out, leaving Greg and Susan shocked. Dan was upset, claiming they left him stuck with the bill, but commenters pointed out that Dan knew the situation and still pressured the user to come along. Many agreed Greg and Susan were taking advantage of everyone’s generosity.

Commenters praised the Reddit user for standing their ground. Some shared similar experiences with friends who expected others to cover their extravagant meals. Many advised always asking for a separate check to avoid drama, while others suggested cutting ties with people who exploit friendships like this.

In the end, most Redditors agreed Greg and Susan weren’t true friends but “leeches.” As one commenter put it, sometimes you have to leave certain “friends” behind, no matter how difficult it is. The bold move not only taught Greg and Susan a lesson but also revealed who was truly worth keeping around.
