If I had a friend like this, unless they were useful or more interesting than average people, I'd stop inviting them out.
I'll just let that friendship die, that's fine.
This is worse than what my friends and I usually do. We either do completely separate bills, or we trade back and forth who is paying. Nobody quibbles about how much, or how much more this time might be compared to last time. You pay the bill, and next time, your bill gets paid for you.
I take note whenever I'm paying more than once in a row, and if it becomes a trend that I'm paying for everything, I stop inviting people out. I'm not going to invite you out somewhere just to have me pay for it 100% of the time. If I wanted to pay for someone to keep me company, I'd hire a hooker.
I know
it'sthe post is just a joke, but yeah money sadly is serious biz and beef between friends if things don't feel fair. It sucks but i chalk it up to the hellscape we live in.Everyone has their money tics. A long time pal gets pissed if i pull the "whisper the waiter" trick and pay the whole dinner bill for example. For my part, I feel weird about owing people, like they'll hate me if i cant pay my way.
Oh, I'm not joking.
I have very few, very loyal, very long-term friends. I like it that way. Knowing too many people gets to be problematic.
Er my bad i was referencin the post being a joke, not your reply being one. That was poorly phrased on my part
No worries
