Some people believe in splitting the check evenly regardless of who ordered what.
Other people would rather pay for only what they ordered plus tip.
I honestly get anxious about these situations with certain friends of mine.
Going out for lunch?
I told him that if Susan or Greg were there, I wouldn’t be able to come.
“I show up and we all get to talking.
Everyone began putting in their orders, and most of them spent about $40.
There were only about six people there.”
“When it gets to Susan and Greg, they both order expensive dishes, around $200.
Dan asked why I hadn’t ordered anything, and all I said was that I lost my appetite.
The other two friends got up as well to cancel their orders and just have drinks.
After the main courses came out, I saw Susan and Greg picking at their food.
The waiter then brings over the check.
Greg then grabs the waiter and asks him to split the check six ways.
I stood up and corrected him, saying the check was to be split three ways.
Greg looks at me confused and asks why since we ‘always’ split the bill.
(Yes, I remember the exact number.)
I swear I saw his jaw drop when he picked that receipt up.”
I honestly laughed because the steaks alone were more than what they had paid but in their own right.

So is this OP the asshole?
Here’s what some people on Reddit had to say.
