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?

This ^^
Sounds like your friend has realised now if you say she's laughing it off now

But if she continues I'd go with this and also say the last sentence that she over ordered for herself and ate the lot bc she was very drunk.

Let's be honest ladies, if this were two men, conversation would go like this:

Tom: oi, tightarse bastard, you owe me money for the food.

Dick: fuck off you cheeky cunt.

The end.

Not the men I know....

Me neither. And I’m relieved

Yup! 😂

In general, far less introspection, speculation about the other party's motivations, blame-laying & need to guage other people's opinions.

Which has it's upside, but isn't always the best route to communication & resolution.

🙄

How's she not embarrassed asking for a fiver

You'd be surprised, I was on holiday with a group once and they'd ask each other for a quid/40p the other person owned them.

Also saw a mate trying to haggle the fare of a taxi in Thailand, he was quoting 2 pound or something very small, she was trying to get it to a quid in front of the group. I felt embarrassed for her and everybody was like wtf.

Another time at uni I drove a group of us to McDonalds, we pooled in money and after we ate 1 of the group said he itemized the bill and I owed him 36p.

Or a member of a group I was with in Thailand and his uncle would never buy a round of drinks in, the drinks were like a quid each and the fags were very cheap too. They'd both accept rounds and then go and buy their own drinks and ask for fags of everybody else. I felt embarassed for them but yea some people just have no shame.

"Act-u-erly"

In English, the unwritten and changing-over-time-anyway "rules" state that we say sentences in a certain order according to how they flow.

Most people therefore would say:
Fish and chips
garlic and chips
Pie and chips
Bread and chips
But
chip cob/butty
Chips and peas
Chip and salad naan.

Say them.
See how they flow.

Also: there's absolutely nothing wrong with people using regional or familial variations on any of the phrases mentioned, or any other phrase

If the friendship is lost it’s the friend’s fault for demanding money that’s not hers. You can’t just go round giving people money you don’t owe them so they’ll still be your friend.

Your friend is trying to take advantage of you. Does she often do things like that?

I wouldn't dream of demanding more money from a friend in this instance - even if you had eaten everything in sight! As you only ate what you asked her to order, and paid more than was necessary, she could go take a running jump as far as I am concerned. She doesn't sound like much of a friend.

That says it perfectly.

Only thing I can think of what is garlic and chips?

You can't think "maybe if I read the thread , and noticed there was a long discussion on what it is, I'll find out!"?

I love garlic but hate garlic sauce and even I could work out what garlic and chips means.

OP, how are things between you now? Future plans of going out? All forgiven? What will happen this Saturday night? 🙂Do keep us posted.

I know, that what i said :p

If you give in now and pay the £5 she’s asking for, you set a precedent that she can do this to you in the future whenever she overspends. I’d tell her that you paid for your own and included a tip for the takeaway, which is why you never asked for your change. It’s not your fault she overspent and also took said tip from the takeaway by adding that £1.50 to her own food order.

It depends if we can all stand, O have seen me get money off my friends then go up and order everything but there is no change, no refunds and no pay backs

This was one of my favourite MN posts, OP any updates?

I find it odder that you would need to run this past us than your friend being a drunken idiot. Does she make a habit of getting so drunk she doesn't know what she's ordered? If she does then expect more of the same.
Don't pay up. You owe her nothing

Hi CF.
I ordered Garlic and chips & I ate garlic and chips and I sent you £5, £1.50 more than it cost. You ordered and ate what you ordered I don’t know why you want me to pay for your food?
Im not. Sorry about that.

Are you feeling quite well @Kate0902900908 ????
