Didn't give me friend half of what she paid?aibu?

[cheeeryybaby]

Went out with my friend on Saturday night.
Got to the end of the night and we went to pizza shop for food.
I said i only want garlic and chips which was £3.50
She was saying "ok we will share,il get things too"
I said "I only want garlic and chips as im not massively hungry tho"
She was very drunk and kept going on and on
She got to pizza shop and she was ordering all kinds
I gave her £5 and didn't bother asking for change
She ordered Kebab a pizza and my garlic and chips
It came to over £20
The next day she texts "hi just checked my bank statement I paid £20 in pizza shop but I only have £5 in my purse ? Did we go half's?"
I said no I only wanted garlic and chips but gave you £5

Anyway she went on and on saying I should have gave her £10 as it was food for both of us (I told her I didn't want any)
Now she's saying she can't waste that much money and asking for a extra £5

What do I do? It's only £5 do I just pay it?

Tell her to do one.

Definite CF territory! No way would she be getting money out of me for this. I'd try to keep it lighthearted if you can but I would absolutely not be handing over any extra money. She's already £1.50 in profit! It's not your fault she was too wasted to know what she was spending and eating!

‘I am not a liar. PayPal the £1.50 you owe me.’

Then maybe assess if you enjoy hanging about with a blackout drunk who accuses you of stealing and lying.

Tell her to go swivel.

And now I want garlic sauce and chips.

If she was that hard up, she wouldn't be out on the piss. Tell her you were very clear you only wanted garlic chips, you didn't eat hers and in fact you've already paid an extra £1.50. Silly cow (her not you).

Also never heard of "garlic and chips" cause posh southerner but it sounds bloody good.

Cheeky mare!

"I ordered garlic & chips at 3.50. I gave you a fiver. I never got any change back. I did not order anything else or eat any of the food you bought. You actually owe me 1.50. I'm happy to let that go though. In future I'll go to the counter and order & pay for my own food. I'm not responsible for subsidising your pissed up over-ordering"

“You’d know I didn’t if you weren’t off your face ordering everything in the shop.”

Just tell her it’s not your fault she can’t control what she buys herself when she’s drunk but you didn’t want to waste that sort of money on takeout so you didn’t and you aren’t going to sub her drunken munchies.

Depends on if you want to stay friends, and is losing the friendship worth a fiver to save? She was very cheeky, especially if you didn't ask for it or didn't eat it. In future say you will get your own.

If she can afford to be frivolous when she's pissed, she can afford to forego a fiver. What a grab all.

'Hi no I ordered garlic and chips @£3.50. I gave you a fiver so please send over £1.50. I told you not to order loads but you wouldn't listen to me'

I can't believe she has text you looking for the fiver! Tell her no

She wants you to subsidise her food cheeky... Tell her that you repeatedly told her you only wanted your chips so you are not going to pay for half of HER food, and if she carries on you will be insisting she returns your £1.50 too.

Thanks OP. Now I really fancy kebab meat and chips with garlic Mayo.

Tell her to swivel. Don't give her the money just because she was so rude.

Text her back and joke it off, pointing out how drunk and hungry she much have been not to remember what actually happened in the pizza shop.

Yes! Absolutely tell her this. About time for 'go swivel' to make a comeback.

YANBU - Don't pay her.

I also now really want cheesy chips and garlic mayo for lunch.... so YABVU for that.

Now she's saying she can't waste that much money and asking for a extra £5

Well unfortunately for her she didn't think about that last night when she was ordering over £15 worth of food for herself!

Absolutely do not give her any more money or she will do things like this time and time again.

I'd reply with 'I didn't eat any of your food, I barely ate my own as I explained last night, I wasn't that hungry. Mine came to £3.50 and I gave you £5. Sorry but I can't afford to pay for food that I didn't eat' ...and leave it at that!

Is it worth her friend losing a friendship over a fiver?

If she can't afford to waste a fiver she shouldn't be going out getting pissed and spending money

Your friend 100% owes you £1.50. tell her you'll forgive that amount of she lets the matter die. And maybe less of a drunk pig next time she's goes out with someone.

Don’t give her the £5. This is a matter of principle. Ask her why she expects you to pay for her food.

How is this person a friend? I hate people like this.

She's a bully.
There's a type of bully who uses you to go out with, and part of that throws money at you by way of persuasion to do what she wants.
The other trick they do is buy the tickets for stuff they want, it's 'no, it's fine, I'll get the tickets or even 'I've bought us tickets' or 'I'll book the table'.
Then when you make a decision she doesn't like, you'll get the famous...'after all I did for you'.
She's very very controlling and always, always, always go halves with her and never accept presents or offers of 'no, no, I'll pay for the room it's my treat'.
This type of person is so afraid of not having friends that she tries to buy them.
But then resents it later on.

Also never ever known anyone split a bill for an end of the night takeaway. Why not just get your own and do two transactions, there is literally no need for any bill splitting or discussion.
