Or is it weird to take someone out for their birthday…then split the bill. A married couple did that with me, I paid 1/3. I was being cheap in my ordering thinking I was being treated – them, not so much so. So, I paid more than 1/3. Not the money, rarely is, it was just a kick in the gut. —Turning 36 Was a Bitch

that is weird, especially if they said “we’d like to take you our for dinner on your birthday”
*out*
Good grief!
Usually when I go out with friends and it’s NOT my birthday we just pay for our own meals. Splitting anything is just ridiculous.
They shoulda treated you for sure. Cheap fucks.
cheap ass ‘friends’…
unless you asked them to go out and were essentially demanding a free supper.
tough to tell who’s the turd-burgler here.
Ive never heard of this before those arent friends at all
I would revisit your definition of “friends”. If they offered to “take” you out for dinner, they pay. If they suggested you all go out for dinner, because it happens to be your birthday, then you should all pay for your separate meals.
Belated Happy Birthday.
..if there’s one thing i especially love bout this bitch-fest ..is hearing stories of freakshows that aren’t around me..no it’s not you
What a bunch of douchebag “friends” you have. If I tell someone I’m taking them out for their birthday, I pay. Anything else is just gauche.
It is with regret that I announce that my birthday is cancelled this year due to denial and an overwhelming lack of interest on my part.
However, gifts, cash donations, well wishes and free meals are still being accepted as per normal.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for your continued support.

haha, i love that one, vastie…and for using the word *gauche*, timothy you get the big prize, mainly because the thought of you, using that word in any situation made me larf
Time to build up the old social network, OB. If it continues on this downward spiral, you may just find yourself drawing eyes and lips on your non dominant hand so you’ll have someone to talk to on your 37th birthday.

BTW, it’s not the end of the world…my life has a pattern (so far;-) of the years ending in 0 being way better than the years ending in 9. The best is yet to come—
Who’s your friend, Xeno? She’s kinda cute! 😉
when people say “split the bill” i’m basically like “fuck that” that probably means your meal was more expensive than mine and you don’t want to pay full. too bad.
WHOA TITS ALEX

haha i’m sorry.
..I meant to say gauche..but I already said it like 3 times today 😉
Around here we call that rude OP. In Patagonia, they call it Gaucho.
I am NEVER ok with “evenly splitting” the bill. Either one person pays the full bill or I pay for exactly what I ordered and ate, unless we shared nachos or something, then we can split that. I don’t want to be responsible for others and it’s NOT FAIR.
Ugh, ditch them lame cheap fucks
Yeah.. no op it’s not you..
That was a prick job.
i used to hang out with these two american chicks when i lived in france. Two of us were of modest means and watched what we spent. The other was a fat, entitled millionaire who insisted on splitting everything “evenly”
She would then order more food than the two of us put together and we ended up paying for most of her dinner.
We ditched her eventually but before we did, we had one last hurrah. We let her order first, then closed the place on lobster, filet Mignon and bottle after bottle of wine. We ate until we puked and then split the bill evenly.
