[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with not splitting evenly is that 100000% if you're the schmuck who gets the bill last you're going to get screwed because so many idiots at the table never add in taxes and tip.

Done this so many times where the entire table is like $120 short and no one wants to budge at adding in more even though they're shorting on tax and tip.

Worst experience of all time was.when we had like 13 people for a suckling log dinner at a restaurant. Of course the whiner.in the group only wanted to pay for their drinks and their own food because they didn't eat the appetizer. It made the bill a giant pain in the ass because everyone had to break down every single drink item they had. Then they had to figure out how many people ate appetizer X and split that, then appetizer Y and split that among those who ate, etc.  it took 1.5 hours because even after people itemized they had people who calculated it wrong, who were being dishonest, or who wanted to throw $0 in for taxes and tip.

Honestly,.if you get angry over $40 or $50 extra during a night out with your friends because they might have gotten wine while you had water stay a home. Over time it works out in the long run.  People who want to pay their own are the biggest pain in the ass.   And then you'll get whiners who might complain they only ate 5% of shared dish X while everyone else at 10%, therefore they should pay less even though it was shared.

Just say no next time if people ask you out and you want to pay your own. You are a horrible person that is a pain in the ass. [/quote]

You are a horrible person to eat and drink more and expect other to chip in $40-50 extra over what they ate because you are too cheap.  Maybe consider what you are ordering next time and be prepared to pay for your own meal.  $50 is a music lesson for my kid.  I'd rather pay for extra music lessons over your meal since you cannot control yourself.[/quote]
