Last weekend I was invited to dinner, by Dan. I told him how if Susan or Greg were there I wouldn’t be able to come. He tells me that they would be there but I should just put my opinions aside and come just once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is kind of where I might be a bad guy. I agreed with him and told him I would be there. I show up and we all get to talking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everyone began putting in their orders, most of them spent about $40. There were only about 6 people there. When it gets to Susan and Greg, they ordered expensive meals, around $200. When it was my turn to order, everyone looked at me, but I only ordered a drink that was $4 and sent the waiter away. Dan asked why I hadn’t ordered anything and all I said was that I lost my appetite. The other 2 friends got up as well to cancel their orders and just have drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the main courses came out, I saw Susan and Greg picking at their food. When the bill came, Greg grabbed the waiter and asks him to split the check 6 ways. I corrected him and I insisted we pay our own orders. Greg looks at me confused and asks why since we “always” split the bill. I reminded him that the 3 of us had not eaten any food so we would just be paying for our drinks. So basically at the end of the night, Dan, who probably only ate around $50 worth of food, was stuck with a $146.98 check at the end. (Yes, I remember the exact number.) I swear I saw his jaw drop when he picked that receipt up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I put down $10 and walked out. The next morning, I found my phone full of texts from Greg and Susan telling me I was a bad guy for not ordering any food and forcing them to pay more than they had accounted for. I honestly laughed because the steaks alone were more than what they had paid but to each their own right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also got a lot of messages from Dan saying that I could have just not came instead of pulling that stunt and getting him stuck with an outrageous bill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
