It's a big birthday and she wants to rent out a space in a poshish bar, I had heard all about it, sounded good, I told her was available to come etc.

Well she's just sent us all our invites and she is charging a fee basically to cover the cost of reserving space. You do get something for the price aka your "ticket" includes 2 drinks, but I just think its really cheeky?! She has savings so it's like use your savings or else lower your expectation?!

I have a friend who is exactly the same. She doesn't want to go to nice restaurants but prefers somewhere cheaper in case she has to pay her share of the bill. As soon as the bill is asked for she goes to the toilet and is at least ten minutes in there. So the consensus is that when she comes back she hopes the bill has been paid and it usually has been.

There's a lot of other things re money. Personally, I find it a chore and quite stressful being with someone who is always looking for ways to off-load their share of a bill onto me or others.

What do others here think? Is going to the toilet every time the bill is asked for a sign that she's looking for others to pay? Also would you wait for a long time for her to return or just pay the bill?

You'd always shove her on her own bill!

£15 is the cost of two drinks anyway, you just get a free booth. If you were going to drink water all night then £15 is a lot to sit I guess. Just don’t go. This doesn’t sound CFy at all
