6 of us went out for a nice meal for DFriend's birthday.
I was the only one who didn't drink alcohol. Just a few lemonades. At the end one person said 'Should we just split the bill then?' But she didn't say it as a question, more of a leading statement. She then got her phone out and split it 6 ways. Came to just over £40 each!
I said 'Sorry, no. You've all drunk quite a bit and I've had no alcohol at all. Would you mind if I pay separately?'
They said yeah fine... and the atmosphere was a little odd after that. We all went our separate ways after that. It wasn't a particularly expensive place but not cheap. Food very reasonably priced but of course the alcohol stacked up the bill significantly
Ive been messaged my birthday girl this morning to say I was really out of order and should've just split. Everyone was a bit upset.
AIBU to not have split?!
I felt like I was being fair there. She also said she was opening her gifts from me in the evening but I've had no words in a way of thank you
