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?

How much did you spend on drinks etc. before the garlic and chips combo. It's only a relatively small amount so if you want to keep friend, pay up. If you don't, then don't.

If you’re too drunk to remember, you take the hit.

You don’t bully your friend for money.

Just say "No, I didn't. I asked you to get me that as it's all I wanted and it's all I ate. I have already paid way more than it cost so I'm not paying more."

I agree with just replying that she didn't give you your change.

Drunk mates are hard work.

She's a cheeky greedy cow.

No way would I pay extra.

Send her the money and add that you won't go out with her again or else she stops drinking so much

DO NOT send her the money!

I wouldn't even take the hit this one time. If you are the position again with this one I would say I'm ordering and paying for my own food. Maybe she'll rein in her spending a bit if she knows she can't get you to pay for some of it and doesn't want to spend that much.

She's probably livid at you thinking you've both bought food and you're not paying your share, she clearly can't remember any of it and thinks you're purposefully paying less.

Absolutely not your problem though OP, I would 100% not be paying for more food than I wanted and ate!

Just respond to her to point put that her "betting you ate more" proves she was too drunk to remember and too drunk to regulate what she ordered. None of that is your problem.

She sounds pretty awful. I'd say no, I've already paid over the odds by £1.50, I'm not paying more towards what you ordered for yourself. By the sounds of things I wouldn't be bothered if we fell out over it, she sounds hard work.

I would not be paying extra if it went down like you said! And I'd explain you had a discussion about it before she bought all the food anyway.

Am very interested to know if she ate a whole pizza and a kebab though - pretty impressive!

I would, if they're the kind of friend to call me a liar and try to force me to pay it. That's not the kind of way I'd behave and I wouldn't take it from friends.

No do not pay it!

Don't pay!

Of course you don't pay.

You reply, "Actually you owe me £1.50 but I'm not going to be petty about it. I'm quite upset you are expecting me to pay for my food after we had a conversation at the time about how I didn't want to spend a lot and I wasn't hungry anyway. You should drink less so you don't overspend on you food and can remember what you ate and what happened at the time. You are well out of order expecting me to sub your night out after the fact"

Lay it on thick and embarass her.

This ✅

Just text back “lol”.

Yup!

Out of interest do you know if she ate the kebab and saved the pizza for breakfast (like my dd does, yuck).

As another poster says keep it lighthearted and say you've already overpaid for your portion and she needs to ask that cute guy to pay his share. She will be so fixated on trying to remember the cute guy she will forget about the money 😂

Wow , your friend sounds tight. I wouldn’t dream of asking a friend for a five quid! Even if they drunkenly owed me it!
Is she a good friend?

I’d go with acting as though she’s joking

”Ha ha nice one! Do you remember how drunk you were? I kept telling you I only wanted garlic and chips, and not to order more for me, but you wouldn’t listen. Hangover regrets are awful aren’t they? Don’t worry about the £1.50 you owe me, have that towards your paracetamol!”

Just message back "I didn't eat any of yours and said at time I only wanted Garlic and chips. Given that you had to check your bank to see how much you spent, I understand you don't remember. At the time I gave you £5 and didn't ask for change as mine only came to £3.50. I wouldn't want this to impact us being friends so shall we just drop the subject?"

Tell her she owes you £1.50! She’s taking the piss. Who orders a kebab and a pizza anyway??

This made me laugh!

This.

She sounds awful and what state was she innto still not remember but want to
argue the point.

What is 'garlic and chips' - chips sprinkled with garlic? I'm a huge garlic fan and haven't heard of this!
