No payment for her 3 naans

[TheAquaCrab]

We all got a curry, to cut a long story short(er).

4 friends in total, including me. Person who hasn’t paid is new to group. All happened last week.

I paid for the takeaway and said it’s fine, just everyone transfer me the money tomorrow when they get a chance.

We were going to share but this particular friend wanted her own. All fine. We still agreed to all go 4 ways, despite her not getting anything to share out, and ordering 3 naans!

Today is Monday and the meal took place last Friday. Still no payment. I reminded her on Saturday and she said she was so sorry, send bank details and she’d send it. So I did.

Still nothing. I messaged again this evening and she left me on read. Messaged friend whose friend she originally was… who said she’s now on holiday! I don’t even remember her mentioning that

We are suppose to be going for an 80s night next month. AIBU not to go if she goes? Told other friend and she said she probably just keeps forgetting

I wouldn’t mind but she asked to take the left over coke bottle and the last of the butter chicken. We all said yes because we were stuffed

Cheeky woman has an amazing figure to boot, so maybe I’m just jealous!

There's no way she would think that as she said she would pay op

I'm absolutely not saying that she will do this at all; but a lot of CFs in these circumstances might deliberately try something like a meal out as an 'opener', to see if you let them get away with it... and if you do, then they work up to stories of personal financial troubles - always 'temporary' of course, and not their fault - and asking to 'borrow' a considerable sum for a supposedly very short time...

Sorry… whut?

it’s been 3 days… I would chill. She should’ve sent it ofc but I’m sure it’s not that much money? Life is short.

There are people dying of starvation in Gaza, but oh no, Stacey didn’t pay for her 3 “nan” breads. Jesus wept.

3 Naan girl has entered the chat.

So nobody is never allowed to ask advice about a problem in their day to day life, ever, because somebody else is suffering a much worse fate?

How much are we talking ?

for the 3 naans or a curry as well

Three naan, Jeremy? Three? That’s insane.

Oh you just beat me to it! 😂

This. No need to be polite or self deprecating she is really really rude. No excuse.

One must be a step-naan.

How much money is this? She's cheeky, yeah, but I definitely wouldn't miss an event you would otherwise enjoy.

And never pay for her again, of course.

Just go out next time and she can buy your drinks

But in future each just pay your own share at the restaurant

I wouldn’t use this to stop going to an event next month, if you want to go to it then I would still go.

I would message this person again in a few days time and say you didn’t realise she was on holiday but you’d appreciate the money to be transferred and just keep at her.

I would also make sure I wouldn’t be offering to cover the costs next time.

Total was roughly £28 for hers alone

Definitely still go to your 80s night and bring it up there if she still hasn’t paid. I see your 3 Naans and raise you a £90 concert ticket that I was completely ghosted for after asking for the money.

I'd want that back. I thought it was much less. Ask her again in a few days.

What was the total split between you all?

I don’t share food. I wouldn’t rake leftovers though

3 naans? That’s insane.

Fucking hell, I wouldn’t even cover a £28 takeaway for DH.

Go to the 80s night and march her to an ATM if you have to!

🤣🤣 hilarious, lol

Yes, I seem to remember a thread from a few months ago about someone ordering more food than everyone else, including 3 naans and not paying.

But I've now found a use for the list of similar threads as it's the first one on the list

I wonder if ThreeNaanCF is working her way through getting her friends to pay for her big Indian feast.

3 plain naan was £28

That's expensive

I'd have Naan of that if I were you.

I can’t imagine anyone eating three!

What a gannet!
