I have a friend who for years says let’s take turns to pay when we eat out. The last 3 times she made me pay. I don’t know why she just doesn’t pay for her own meals as this is what happens when I am with other friends we all pay for our own with her. She always suggests to go for a meal but I personally would rather eat at home and go for a drink instead.
One of the times she asked me to get her dad a meal to take home as she lived with him. I was annoyed because she didn’t offer any money. Whilst I like her dad and get on well with him she shouldn’t tell me what to do with my money. Then it frustrates me because she will only eat half the plate of food and it upsets me she is taking the p* out of my money and wasting it. I haven’t seen her for a while and won’t eat out again with her.
A mutual friend is having the same issue now. The last 3 times he has paid for the meals. She doesn’t work but my friend doesn’t work either and he has bills to pay. She is lucky because she lives at home and her dad pays for the bills and she eats out a lot with her dad who pays for the meals. My friend had it out with her and she has been angry with him asking if I have said something and he said she sounded angry blaming me. She won’t even pay for coffee for him as he said it’s your turn.
It is though she knows what she is doing manipulating people. The fact he has realised on his own accord and mentioned it to me. She seems angry as though if she was doing that how dare anyone warn him.
Why does she have this sense of entitlement that everyone else should pay for her? It infuriates me.
