Going out to eat with friends financially ruined me. Birthday anguish.

>Last night I went out with 3 friends to celebrate one of their birthdays. After we ate 2 of them wanted to take pictures near the view where we ate and the other one had to use the restroom. They all bailed before the check came and I didn't think much of it when it happened. They didn't come back. I had one of them text me that they ran into other friends while taking pictures and the one in the bathroom left in a rush apparently because of babysitter emergency. I was dumbfounded at the audacity.

that is kind of fricked up lol but use your voice instead of redditting

>I budgeted for 20-30 dollars for myself. Quite reasonable, I didn't drink or have any extras. They were all wasted from a series of drinks.

>175 was the total. It was my entire weekly budget. I didn't want to stiff on a tip because I've been there before and it sucks.

I just hate the clinical way they talk. it's so annyoing

>I texted them the receipt for them to cashapp me or something. Only 1 of them did it (babysitter emergency) so I feel that her situation was geniune. The other two got really offended. The birthday girl said I should be willing to spot her for her birthday. Nah, not when you drink 60 dollars in drinks and order a 30 dollars freaking steak. (All of which when we were dining I thought I could make better at home but that's a different pet peve).

i guess she/her/xhe/him did ask but still. Shouldnt have paid in the first place.

>I don't go out to eat. This was supposed to be a treat. My first girls night out. Now I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to make my existing groceries last longer because I'm out 100 I didn't expect to be.

I mean it sucks but jesus how do people live where 100 dollars ruins you. I get being annoyed but when you're really losing out on nromal shit that's crazy, and to have a kid? peakpoor. Die of poverty.
