An entire country does this - The Netherlands. Just look up Tikkie and Dutch and see what ridiculous lengths they go to in order to squeeze every penny out of friends and family. [/quote

NP. I had always thought "going Dutch" was just a strange expression that didn't mean much. Until I recently read an article on how the Dutch nickel and dime each other nonstop. It was SHOCKING to me. Husbands and wives had huge lists itemized and they'd exchange money even. I really had no idea they were such a cheap people. I had a friend once in our 20s who would get a calculator out and start telling everyone exactly what we owed at restaurants. We'd all ordered 2 drinks and a meal and just expected to throw our credit cards in and pay 1/4 each. She drove us nuts with things like that. If someone orders 4 drinks, appetizer, meal and dessert, then sure they should be getting their own bill.

I'm not opposed to potlucks, especially with family. I really like bringing a dish to Thanksgiving or a summer BBQ. I'm just glad to be included.[/quote]
