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?

I love spaghetti carbonara! I love butter chicken too though to be fair. I don’t think you’re going to see her share of the money. I had a friend that said I’ll pay ‘next time’ instead but next time never came….

What a CF.

Don't do online banking my arse.

Do you use Paypal? You can email/text her a Paypal request, and she doesn't need an account, just her card. She should select 'friends & family' though otherwise you end up paying a fee.

Her Just Eat not working? My arse.

Did you really eat all those carbs as well as paying such a ludicrous price @OnePeachA ???!!!! 😱

Good grief.

(Just messing about... Just winding up a few posters who think they have a right to dictate what people post.)

🤣🤣🤣🤣 tasty

How bizarre! She sounds bonkers or maybe she’s embarrassed and can’t afford it but then she shouldn’t have turned down free home cooking or been out buying wine, I suppose.

Suggest PayPal or phone banking. Doesn’t do online banking 😂. Doesn’t do paying her way either!

You have a whole naan between 2 people? I just ask our local Indian to shake a few crumbs into a bag. The 5 of us are stuffed when we've eaten all that. We don't need to eat again for a week

"Either works, just let me know x."

🤣🤣🤣

I've just checked my local curry house on Just Eat. Mains start at about £10, pilau rice £3.50, naan bread £3.50, coke £3.50 + £5 delivery. All would come to about £46 for 2 people so what the OP paid is about right. I'm in NW England so not London prices.

She used just eat apps etc but doesn’t do online banking hmm 🤔

You could also say that you were happy to cook but it was her idea to have a takeaway anyway, so…

She clearly eats loads and £52 is steep for a curry but I guess as she ‘thought’ you were paying she decided to stuff herself.

They do put a massive salad in with it though yeah? 😂

😂😂😂

A massive warm salad in a plastic bag 😋

I wouldn't allow her to let a third person get involved though, that just makes it more of a mess.

The salad is always warm isn't it?! 😆 Vile.

I usually make a bit of my own. Gotta have a massive salad, so I'm not eating too many carbs! 😆

Came for the CF. Stayed for the tyre and 3 sweet naans.

And the hot salad in a bag that they probably got too! 😆

@Zezet That’s a good point. I didn’t fully understand the message.

Who doesn’t do Internet banking these days? Even my elderly mum does! BS she needs to go into a branch !

The sweaty chopped lettuce and slices of lemon. We had a takeaway this week and my daughter asked “who ordered this?” To which I replied “No fucker ever one dear.”
