00:00It's like somebody ordering caviar at dinner and you're not having it, you know, let's split the bill.
00:05My friend often orders extra drinks and apps just for herself, which I don't mind until the bill comes and
00:11she wants to split it evenly.
00:13Do I have to? At what point does splitting the bill become paying for someone else's order?
00:18I think if she does it once, fine. If it's a repeat offender, I think before you go in for
00:23dinner, say,
00:24listen, I love you. I want to split the bill 50-50, but I can't afford four or five drinks
00:30a person for dinner.
00:32So why don't we get a different bar check and then the meal we can split?
00:36Because you might not be drinking at all. I have a ginger ale and I'm ending up paying for five
00:40glasses of white wine.
00:42I think saying like it becomes really expensive when I'm not drinking more so than like I can't afford it.
00:47Because what if they can afford it? I think it's more out of principle. Like why should I be paying
00:52that?
00:52I think even if you can afford it, it's offensive that you have to split the bill if they are
00:56outrageously doing it.
00:58It's like somebody ordering caviar at dinner and you're not having it. You know, let's split the bill.
01:03Don't you think it's just way less awkward when everyone's just like, okay, they throw their card in and everyone...
01:08Yeah, but then you're paying for their drinks. So then you have to realize that if it doesn't matter to
01:12you, fine.
01:12But after a while, it does begin to annoy you.
01:15I also think for people listening or watching, like if you're this person and you know you are ordering more
01:19drinks...
01:20Learn something.
01:20Make it easier on your friends and say, oh, I know that like I ordered more drinks, so I'll pay
01:26for the tip and you don't have to put a tip down.
01:28Or I'll pay the wine bill.
01:29Whatever it is that you worked out in your mind that like is fair.
01:33Just like be self-aware if you're that person.
01:35Well, that's the problem. So often these people are not as self-aware. So somebody has to say something.
01:39Yeah, no one can be as self-aware as us.
01:41Okay.
