The Great Dinner Showdown: Who’s the Real Moocher? ️
In a world where group dinners and bill-splitting are the norm, one brave soul took a stand against freeloading friends. After being accused of disrupting the group vibe, our hero found support from others who were also tired of the mooching. The organizer even admitted to poor communication and apologized for the confusion. In the end, the group split into separate checks, causing the freeloaders to get angry and justify their actions. But the story doesn’t end there – a new alliance has formed, and they’re planning their group dinners, free from mooching drama. ️
NTA. ‘I’m sorry, I always assumed we were getting together to socialize as friends, not subsidize meals for other people that cost more than what I have budgeted for myself. If that is the ‘group vibe,’ then I hereby opt out of the group.’ ♀️ Others followed your lead in requesting separate checks. Start a new dutch dinner group! ️
