AIBU to not want to split bill evenly six ways

[SaucySpider]

I've just been for a meal with my daughter and son in law together with his parents. My husband and I arrived early so bought some drinks and were seated while we waited for the others. We had a very nice meal and had a good evening. However when the bill came my daughter split the bill evenly six ways but after our first drinks hubby and I only drank tap water (not because we are mean but because we like water with our meal) while the others all had at least two alcoholic drinks then coffees which were added to the bill. Thus we ended up paying for a large portion of their drinks. Don't get me wrong we are always willing to 'get a round in' when we socialise but having already bought our own drinks and not having any more I felt a little bit cheated or am I being a skinflint. Would it have been fairer to just split the food part?

the dailymail stole this thread

anyway no you are not unreasonable alcohol cost so much more

@LyingWitchInTheWardrobe totally comprehended OPs post, not a thickwit at all, just didn't agree with it?

OP asked AIBU, I gave my thoughts.... no point is asking the question on AIBU if you don't want the answer.

Because that would make you a proper thickwit

I guess it depends who you're dining with. Remove if not allowed, but my company allows users to pre-order and split the bill before arriving at restaurant, which could help with some of the issues raised here. Useful for big groups for example. Only in Glasgow for now, time2dine.uk for those interested.

So, Charlie, you saw that OP didn't voice her thoughts and yet you and the others on this thread who wanted to give her a kicking, did it anyway?

That's worse than being a thickwit. Your wink face is misplaced and makes you look silly on top of that.

Go and play with your chums and keep patting each other on the back. I'm fussy about the company I keep so that's it from me.

Bills are always split evenly evenly if one doesn't have peas or puds. Don't be embarrassing. If you can't manage that in future, don't go! You sound so mean.
