To ask for 50% of pizza cost from friend?

[rainonmetonightnel]

I had a friend over who's actually my SIL also.

She suggested getting a Papa John's when I said I could do us a just salad for lunch

I said that sounded nice, so ordered it from my app on the just eat app.

It came and I went to have a slice. She had plated herself up with half the pizza, despite me mentioning previously that I'd give DS a slice or two when he came home, as a treat (he really likes cold pizza!)

She hasn't mentioned paying me back, at all

When she was finished eating, all of it was gone

We ordered a large pizza

AIBU to ask for 50%? She also drank most of the 7UP

But she was just making a suggestion. Why is it unreasonable to make a counter suggestion when the decision hadn't been made?

Yea if I go to a friends and we have takeaway I pay my share - and doubly so if I suggested it!
Next time you see her just casually say 'oh don't forget the £X you owe me for the takeaway the other day'.

I think she sounds really cheeky for turning down what you had prepared and then insisting you treat to a pizza!

Op also offered frozen pizza

Two reasonable suggestions but the guest wanted takeaway which is massively more expensive

If you’re that concerned about treating your friend to half a pizza next time you go to hers ask her to order a pizza and get your half back. Oops, don’t forget the 7up.

Op also offered frozen pizza

I eat a whole med or large pizza to myself on the occasion we have one (and I’m in good shape). Maybe with sides I’d eat less…

Interesting….

Reasonable in your opinion. I wouldn’t consider a frozen pizza to be a reasonable suggestion. The OP’s friend felt the same way. Just because those things were offered, doesn’t mean the friend is wrong for not wanting either of them.

A delivery pizza is not that expensive. It’s hardly dinner at The Ritz.

£20?

Might be a pittance to you - can I suggest you always offer to pay as it's a lot to other people

The OP wasn't forced to pay for it though, it isn't her friends fault that she agreed to a takeaway. She just had to say something.

It doesn't matter what the OP offered, it's still very rude to demand something else at someone else's house. Where are the friend's manners? If she wanted delivery pizza so much she could have had one at home that night.

She didn't demand it, she suggested it and OP agreed.

OP didn't have to agree
OP didn't have to pay for it all

THIS!⬆💯
OP already had salad ready and adding the frozen pizza is certainly a decent lunch.

Sometimes, I just despair of humanity. 😢😬🤔

It looks like she didn't have the salad made but it doesn't change the fact that frozen pizza and a salad is a decent enough lunch.

OP--I think it's too late to ask for the money. Consider it a lesson learned about CFers and their inherent audacity. Next time, go to her house and ask for something different from what she offers. Say, "I fancy another pizza. That last one was so good. Why don't you order that?". See what she says and if she is willing to pay.

Sounds like a CF tbh Id be asking for the money for sure

I’d say she suggested a takeaway when you were going to provide lunch I’d expect this to be split 50:50
