Friend blocked us for paying her pay

[Lettingoffstea]

Group of four friends for about four years go out for lunch every 2 weeks. We tend to go to the same place cheap and cheerful. Noticed in the last year one friend had never got any money or left her card at home. Takes money from another friend never pays it back. This friend is not strapped for cash she is always buying new clothes, cigarettes and booze for herself to drink at home. We said it is your turn to pay last time we went out. She paid but now had blocked us all. Sorry txt is so long but not sure how to deal with this any help please

She was ambushed.
You all should have spoken to her about her tight-wad behaviour in a neutral place if she is genuinely a good person excluding her meanness.
It was immature, it's obvious the group had been discussing the situation to come up with the plan.

Exactly, EmeraldShamrock

Every fortnight
They’ve been stewing on this

Mind boggles

Look again at the OP's OP. They've been meeting for 4 years, this issue has been going on for 1 year.

Oh right
So stewing on it every fortnight for 1 year… totally reasonable
