She ordered a Curry and hasn’t paid me

[OnePeachA]

Friend came to my house

I was going to cook but she asked if I fancied a curry. I said that would be really nice actually

Her JustEat app wasn’t working so I said have a look on mine for places that are open. She picked Indian.

I put everything I wanted in and she added hers. Total came to £52ish. Over 65% of that cost was hers.

I said I could just check out and sort it later. I have messaged to ask if she had the money today as a gentle reminder, and she said she thought it was my treat?

I said oh, we must have got crossed wires then. She said ‘I did cover the shop’

She went to the corner shop for wine and snacks. I got a Grape Fanta!

Where do I go from here? Leave it? Was it reasonable for her to assume it was in fact my treat?

Now check the prices for that restaurant through Just Eat, if they're on there. They're massively inflated.

Edited to add, my post was actually more for the person you quoted!

But would you be feeding them rice or naan?

I just order the paper bag

£42.93 in our local, but free delivery. Reading through the menu to work it out confirmed I’d be really disappointed with a three naan, two rice order when there’s so many other delicious things. They do a set special for two for £37.99: poppadoms, sheek kebab, bhaji, all the dippy chutney things, tikka masala, jalfrezi, Bombay aloo, TWO pilau rice but only ONE naan.

I’d like OP to return, update, and elaborate on whether it was plain, pilau or some other rice. Makes a difference if they got one garlic rice one spinach. Adds vibes.

@OnePeachA any update on the CF?

I'm still maintaining the conspiracy that OP is actually the CF for starting a thread, getting us to provide a response and then disappearing without providing the closure we seek. All we are left with is pages and pages of naan/rice double carbing/ bun fighting with a giant yorkshire pudding thrown in.

Edit. You dont think (the originally accused) CF has gone round and done her in after seeing this thread do you?

I'm just a bit worried that the OP might be in an induced korma

It actually is really strange.

You win the internet today🏆

Brilliant joke

Especially at £26pp 😱

Is it as good as the poster who kept saying she was “vested” in the thread? That one seemed to slip by unnoticed.

😆!

She certainly caused an argy “bhaji”

So many people these days seem to view their expensive grooming regime of Turkey teeth, botox, fillers, microbladed brows, acrylic nails, hair highlights and/or extensions, tattoos and a spray tan as basic necessities that couldn't possibly be cut back on, before they even think about paying their rent of their utility bills these days. It's bizarre.

@OnePeachA has she paid you yet?

Pure cheeky, if I was you I'd see if she pays the money now you've asked for it, and if not put it down to experience and just never do it again. Annoying but if she's been this cheeky after her suggesting the takeaway then she would only do the same kind of thing again.

I've had it happen a few times when someone else has suggested getting a takeaway etc. and assumed I will pay because they are in my house. I had a friend once who ordered a pizza whilst at my house, I said I didn't want anything (there was never a pre arranged plan to get food) and when it arrived she shouted me and said the cost, I just shouted "oh I've got no cash, wasn't planning to order anything" and she did pay but obviously chanced her luck that she would just get a free pizza out of me. I totally pay my way and expect others to as well.

Did she pay in the end OP?

Her reply is so bad. Plenty of people might forget or ‘forget’ to transfer. But to be so brazen and combative trying to embarrass you into paying AFTRR you’ve made it clear you expect to split it? Her reply only would have been acceptable if you’d suggested the curry order
