Picture this: you're organizing a show in your hometown, and you decide to do a favor for a friend by squeezing them into an already tight lineup. You agree on a payment, but when the big night arrives, your friend shows up late, drunk, and delivers a fraction of the promised performance. The next day, they demand full payment. What would you do? 🤷♀️🎵

A Drunken Disaster or Unfair Treatment? 🍺🎹
After a friend's disastrous performance at a show, our protagonist is left to pick up the pieces. The friend was late, drunk, and only performed for 15 minutes instead of the agreed-upon 45 minutes. Despite this, they demand the full payment of $200, leaving our protagonist to wonder if they're being unreasonable. The friend's persistence in asking for the remaining payment has led to a heated debate. What do you think? Was our protagonist justified in their actions, or should they have paid the full amount? Let's see what the internet thinks... 🌐💬
