When joining friends for dinner, assume the bill will be split evenly. Don't argue about who ate more garlic bread. Just farking pay. And whilst on the subject, have enough cash at hand to cover your share + tip. No one likes a tight a*se.There is an exception to this rule which relates to booze. If one couple at dinner are absolute booze hounds because they decided to catch a cab and don’t have kids while the other couple has kids and simply can’t afford to be hung over any more some sort of accommodation should be reached. If the boozy couple think I’m splitting 4 bottles of red with them after having 2 glasses they have another thing coming.
Same goes for the couple who order 5 coffees each over breakfast and then ask to split the bill.
If that makes me a tigharse so be it.
Don’t tip.
