My Friend Invited Me Over for Dinner and Then Charged Me for my Meal

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?!”

Time to put that *friendship* to bed.

That is no friend.

My daughter used to enjoy cooking for her friends and they were happy to pay for the food, but that was all planned beforehand. To ask for money afterwards is ridiculous.

Take old left overs out of the refrigerator, coarsely blend it up in a food processor, put it in a container, mail it back with a note that says, “No Thanks.”

Are you aware of the Obama meal at McDonald’s? You order anything you want then make the guy behind you in line pay for it.

Me: "No problem! I'll pay full freight and even leave a 20% tip! All I need is a copy of your business license for your restaurant, and a copy of your New York State Health Department inspection! (and that report better be a 90% or higher)"

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.

I hope they brought you presents or gift cards.

YEARS ago I had a friend who bought a VCR (back when they were new and cost a lot.) She invited me and another friend over to watch some videos, then later complained about us bitterly behind our backs to some mutual friends. She felt we should have paid her for part of the cost of the VCR, since we got some enjoyment out of it. Some people really are that way. I wonder if they also charge their friends for the electric bill because they turned the lights on and ran the heater or A/C while the friends were over. You could really get ridiculous with this kind of thing.

That cannot have been the first sign you got that these people are creeps!

You must be a terrible judge of people.

"But then they would get a bill for it in the mail."

I'd send a note telling him to come pick it up. "It'll be in the back of the house at the servants' entrance."

"No longer a friend. Would not invite to my home. Ciao."

Yes. I would give no response but would utterly ignore the slobs in the future.

"You wouldn’t invite them over one more time to charge them?"

LOL! I'd never want to see them again.

Nah. No gifts was on the invite. My wife needed a princess day. I never bought her an engagement ring because I had nothing back then. So I bought her a big diamond for the 50th. I got down on my bad knee and proposed to her. I had people taking pics of the moment. Now they run 7x24 on my echo show. Every time she goes for coffee, she sees her self being adored. I’m a golden boy.

Well I guess this person should think twice about having Hillary for a friend.
