[quote=Anonymous]I agree with all of you. People are unbelievably tacky. My in-laws are the worst offenders, but here is a list of what I have encountered between in-laws/co-workers etc

-I'm hosting, but please bring X food and chip in this amount of money (from in-law who borrowed over $10,000 and never returned it.)

-We are hosting a birthday dinner for so and so at such and such restaurant-they expect you to come, give gift, you pay for your dinner and you chip in toward birthday person's dinner

-Cash only baby shower, barely any food and no thank you note

-I really want to have a party to show you guys my new house etc. You go, you bring housewarming gift only to find out it's a pampered chef party

-You are invited to dinner with a large group of inlaws by your FIL who is acting like the grand poobah. At the end you end up footing the bill because nobody offers and you pay the tip. You strongly suspect these heathens would have been happy to leave the waitress with no money for meal or tip and you wonder if these people are the spawn of satan. Your child has just gotten out of the hospital and you are forever paying that bill and they know, but they don't give a hoot. Then they complain that you don't see them often eough.

-You are invited to dinner with co-workers at a very expensive restaurant where you fully expect to pay for your own meal. You try to order within your means qhile everyone else drinks up a storm and orders expensive things. At the end of the meal, they announce this month...x, y and z had their birthdays so lets just split the bill between the rest of us and treat them. So you are now paying for your meal, other people's drinks and part of the meals of coworkers and none of these people are close friends of yours.[/quote]
