Page 15 | She ordered a Curry and hasn’t paid me

OnePeachA · 2025-03-22T20:51:11+00:00

Friend came to my house I was going to cook but she asked if I fancied a curry. I said that would be really nice actually Her JustEat app wasn’t working so I said have a look on mine for places that are open. She picked Indian. I put everything I wanted in and she added hers. Total came to £52ish. Over 65% of that cost was hers. I said I could just check out and sort it later. I have messaged to ask if she had the money today as a gentle reminder, and she said she thought it was my treat? I said oh, we must have got crossed wires then. She said ‘I did cover the shop’ She went to the corner shop for wine and snacks. I got a Grape Fanta! Where do I go from here? Leave it? Was it reasonable for her to assume it was in fact my treat?

And who doesn't use cash point machines... she actually has to go into a branch. Her "never mind' would wind me up too. I'd not persist with this friendship.

Yes this is what I thought as well, surely everyone has a cashpoint near then within walking distance

To be honest, OP, if you were going to feed her spaghetti with a tyre, I can understand why she wanted to order out…

I run a successful weightloss programme. One of the initial stages is getting participants to realise that the majority of people around them are obese or overweight - if they take society's version of normal they will never reach and maintain a healthy weight.

You are derailing a thread with your unwanted advice. Is that something that you do in real life too? It doesn't matter what you think about other people's sizes. Unless they ask for your advice it is absolutely none of your business.

I'm sorry to say but your posts are very boring. Probably because they're not relevant to this thread? What you do with that information is up to you but someone cognisant and as successful as you say you are would go and make their own thread or join one of the myriad threads on the weightloss board.

I have had bacillus cereus poisoning and felt so ill. As a result I am very risk averse with rice these days. I keep naan bread in the freezer so would just heat one of those to eat with my leftover curry.

Show quote history

That is unfortunate, must have been quite nasty.

For fried rice it’s recommended to cook the rice then let it go cold before frying it.

We bought one naan in 2007 and are still sharing a nibble between us with each takeaway and that's plenty.

Why are you posting like this? It's really annoying to keep having posters with food issues (whatever they are), bouncing onto a thread and derailing it with finger-wagging.

You have no idea what other people eat or how much so why blether on with your 'normalising obesity' rant? I think that people who do this, unasked for, on a chatboard are lacking people in real life who will pay attention to them.

Given everything coming from an Indian restaurant is drowned in ghee, butter or oil then not really. I never eat any it it when I'm in a slimdown phase although I enjoy it about once a month during other periods.

Seriously chill. Newsflash, you don’t have to eat your portion in one sitting, you can actually divide it up if you want, it’s allowed. 🤦‍♀️ Did you know restaurants will even let you take your left overs home to eat later, yes really, it’s a thing.

Christ almighty is there no thread the food police won’t come to holier than thou on?

We’ve had the
double carbs horror
gluttony
piggery - tinkly laugh
obese / obesity epidemic
ToO MuCH FOod based on their own appetites

On a thread that’s wasn’t a discussion on food.

And the usual resort when they get policed back
’teeny tiny eaters shouldn’t have to be insulted by the piggies. The judgement only goes one way. This is DISCRIMINATION’

Just piss off and lick your lettuce on your own threads you tedious bores.

Sounds like you're projecting. Some people eat more than others, some people eat less than others, some people are satisfied and full with less food, and are OK with half a large takeaway naan bread.

No need to make spiteful little digs against people who aren't big eaters. I mean the odd little 'joke' is OK now and again, as I know some people find it incomprehensible that some people don't eat as much as them, but spiteful jibes like this are just unnecessary.

Some people have eating disorders, and feel bad for eating 'too much' and the teeny tiny jibes constantly spouted on here time and again are just plain nasty, and tedious, and really quite pathetic.

There is no need whatsover to make rude comments about smaller eaters. As I said, you're clearly projecting your food and appetite issues on here. (Like a few others!)

I'm not a great cook but I'm a very good re-heater. I wouldn't chuck the rice (I don't make good rice) - I would add a splash of water and microwave. The naans are also very nice re-heated in the microwave for 40 seconds.

I saw a comment from a poster on another thread that in the UK we are too cautious about rice and reheating it... and that if rice were actually such a risk, many millions elsewhere who eat it every day would be dead; and they're not.
