Whats the point of consent and asking permission if you get lied to

[MrsOctaviaCharlotteSmythe]

Whats the point of consent and permission ? friends meal and they cover the cost, they said here is x amount get what you want, so permission is asked what the limit is eg £20 and i can get whatever food / takeaway with it, the yes permission is given that i can buy what i want within the budget.

turns out a day or two after wards a sarcastic comment was made because i had 2 jacket potatoes with different toppings, so i said why is that an issue and it turns out that they still thought id get one instead of two ,

so i said i asked permission of what the budget was and i did ask what i could get then all i got was oh id still thought you would get 1 so i said why then say i can get x why not just say and be honest.

i guess this is more me moaning but why do people do this, say yes to x then they actually want you do to x instead its like why ?

before anyone asks we usually do a weekly meal out, and no they are fairly wealthy

Funny how you’re happy to guess about that social aspect

thank you x

You’re a greedy CF @MrsOctaviaCharlotteSmythe

they’ve had words before about your consumption and you still don’t check yourself

God, you allow them to pay every single week and actually asked what the budget is before ordering? How crass are you?

A lot of human interaction is second guessing. And etiquette. You've not admitted an autism diagnosis but it seems clear to me.

Offer to pay for the next meal.

because ive not asked them the direct question about that so yes i have to guess on that one

but why then do we have yes and no if we have to guess ?

A jacket potato was £3.50, × 2 =£7

OP'S friend had £12 fish and chips.

So OP did order a cheap meal.

I don't understand what the friend's problem is.

Stop acting like a movie star and get a grip. You acted gready. Work on your approach to other people's kind offers and money. And pay your own lunch.

because once they moaned about the cost of x dinner, so to prevent that i have to ask the budget

That makes no sense at all. One more expensive plate of food is somehow preferable to a cheaper option, regardless of OP’s concern about budget? None of us saw the potatoes, they may have been disappointingly small.

it is a puzzlement

No, the correct response was to actually offer to pay yourself once in a while.

Could you not have just said something like ‘oh I’m starving, or one potato won’t fill me, is it ok if I get 2?’ beforehand maybe?
seems like you are taking the mick a bit to me.

You still haven't said if you have any intention of buying your lovely friend lunch. Do you?

they were medium poatoes, nothing special like those spud man ones

Are the people who bang on about teeny tiny competitive undereaters all Jabba The Hutesque fatties? I eat very small meals so i can be a healthy size 10. It's so yragic this guilt projection byvall the greedy fatties on here.

I am sorry but I can not leave this...

THEIR

Or next time why don’t you say

you've been really generous but I think from now on we should pay for our own meals

Where is a filled bp £3.50? I took it as 1 bp is £7 so x2 =£14….

I thought you didn't like 'guessing'.

But you wouldn't stave to dead having one? Would yuu?

i offer but get told my treat etc

This place has become batshit recently 😂

I do think if you're going to attempt pissiness then you should probably try to be slightly more eloquent in your pissiness.
