The woman continued, “We had a good meal, but they sent us a message after asking for money for each person! I thought this was crazy and I would never ask anyone to pay for their food if I invited them over!”
She then asked the forum if she was justified in being “a bit annoyed” and added that she and her partner had already invited her friend over to their place in a few weeks’ time and “wouldn’t ask for anything.”
“That’s awful behaviour!!! What is wrong with some people?!”

Is this a guess who the lefty is?
I need more information on both parties.
“Absolutely unacceptable. An invitation is an invitation.
No longer a friend. Would not invite to my home. Ciao.”
On the other hand... Given that you are paying for it..
I would leave a 1 star yelp review of “dinner at Bob’s house”
compain about the food.
Complain that it was over priced.
Say that the service was substantially awful.
Complain that the cleanliness of the kitchen was lacking
Good lesson!
Sometimes ex-friends are less trouble than currant friends...
You’re lucky they didn’t ask for a 25% “tip”. LOL! Tips are big in America these days. Everybody I meet when I go out asks for a “tip”. I tell ‘em all I can think of is that the best “tip” I can give them is that they should get a job.
You wouldn’t invite them over one more time to charge them?
Currant friends? Yum.
My son had surgery a few years ago. Later in the day I bumped into his surgeon in the hospital elevator.
She introduced me to another surgeon and we discussed my sons surgery for a couple minutes.
The other doctor had the temerity to bill me $800 for a consult.
Needless to say, he didn’t get his money.
If they don’t tell you beforehand, you owe them nothing. If they give you a surprise bill, you don’t have to do anything. They’re not friends any more, but restaurateurs.
My mother was talking to a neighbor who was a lawyer. Although they no longer lived in the state, they had been neighbors for over 20 years. My mother had done numerous favors for this woman. During a phone conversation, they briefly discussed something legal, and she sent my mother a bill.
So this person is charging for a meal as if they are a food service or restaurant? Do they have a license to sell food? Have they been inspected by the health department? A couple of calls to the city might yield some interesting results.
Clickbait? Even if true it’s a miniscule event. Will not read past headline.
Cancel that invitation.
If I pay for it, don’t I get to order it? How much was the lobster?
Depending on the surgery...lots of times the surgeon has a backup....in case the original surgeon can’t make it...or gets sick during surgery, or is especially performing poorly. Kind of a racket, but if I’m fileted open... I want a backup.
Lol, I never knew of the vig until I saw Jersey Boys.

I don’t know if he was part of the surgical team. He charged me for a conversation in an elevator, not for anything else.
We found many thousands of dollars of mistakes, all in favor of the insurance company.
When I threatened to charge them $200 an hour for forensic accounting they suddenly got everything figured out
What’s with people having to ask a forum for an answer to a question they should already know the answer to?
“My face is turning blue. Can someone tell me if I should stop holding my breath?”
Right? They should have stated the per individual price in the invite. No one expects to pay for a dinner party invite. So rude.
That said. I just had 35 neighbors over to celebrate our 50th anniversary. We had a local restaurant cater it. Cost me $1300, not counting the free booze.
She’s operating a restaurant. I’d ask the city to do an inspection. And make sure that the restaurant owner declares the income from the meal on her taxes.
