[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never happened to me. Maybe I don't get invited to enough events. LOL.

"I’m standing up for all guests who are tired of this trend. Call it my #guestsdontpay protest."

From Washington Post:

New couple in the neighborhood was making friends (Bethesda) and invited a bunch of people to his wife's birthday party. At the end of the evening we got an email, "You can drop the $250 check off to me at drop-off or just stick in in my mailbox." I had no idea what he was talking about. Turns out that nobody else did, either. How socially awkward not to tell people up front that they're participating in a guest-pay dinner AFTER the fact. We didn't pay. We dropped him.[/quote]

There’s something called making a mistake. Some people make mistakes maybe this poor guy didn’t know better or maybe that’s what he grew up  accustom to. You don’t need to cut people out of your life because they make a mistake.[/quote]

Expecting people to drop $250 in the mail after [i]you[/i] invited them out in celebration isn't a mistake, its [b]a sign of low class [/b]and pretty indicative that this person isn't someone you'd want to hang with in the future. [/quote]

It’s not low class, plenty of high class people are cheap. This is just bad manners.[/quote]
