Stevo985 Posted April 20, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 20, 2014 He lectured me about image rights and questioned my teaching because of it. Good job he never saw the necknomination debate. p.s. On the meals thing, I think it's incredibly inconsiderate for people to expect the bill to be shared evenly if there is such a disparity - I'm not suggesting that someone should be there calculating the exact contributions on a napkin but it's rather poor for no one to chime in and say,"Hold on, x didn't have half as much as me/anything to drink." that's my view. In general I'm a split the bill guy. It annoys me when people are arguing over a couple of quid here and there. But when there's an obvious difference its rude to insist on splitting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, if its roughly even then i'm not going to argue over a few quid. However, if i've had a cheese toastie and a water and someone else has had lobster thermadore and a bottle of bolly then its not being split evenly! However, my mates would never insist on it being split evenly in that situation, the one who had had more would pay more. They wouldn't have to be told Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Their argument is 1) We're mates so it doesn't matter. 2) You can order what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Their argument is 1) We're mates so it doesn't matter. 2) You can order what you want. Well, to be fair, its a shit argument! And not something i'd accept if I was in that group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 But I'm being arsey if I don't accept it. It's stupid. I'll say something and then look arsey anyway and still end up splitting it. Worst of both worlds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I think another is that nobody in the group can sympathise with my situation. They are 1) A couple of years older. 2) None of them went to uni and so have been working since 16/18. 3) They all have jobs. So here's me, still a skint student (which they view as lazy even though I do more hours than any of them) and they just want to treat me as if I'm earning. Joke's on them though, I'll be on more money than them all starting September :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 What about your normal non-whats app group of friends? They're my main group of mates. I have odd friends after that rather than a group if you get what I mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should order the most expensive thing(s) and then offer to pay the extra over and above the others. Though some of his mates may well object, I doubt yer man in question would.

Ginko Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Concerning splitting the bill, I'm with Stefan. Pay for what you had and be sympathetic that not everyone earns as much money right now as you do. It's the only fair way to do it and it's just easier too. As for your question as to whether this guy is a bit of a prick, I say... a bit? I'd be arguing with this guy constantly if he was in my circle of friends. He sounds like a slightly worse version of one of the members in my circle of friends from uni. Me and her clash all the time, we were even in a band together at one point. Being in a band with your mates is loads of fun, but she just completely ruined it. In conclusion, bitch-slap this bell-end. People like him need to be called out and taken down a peg or two.
