flowergirl Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 The following discussion occured at my famiy dinner table this evening. My father, who assists me in accounting and keeping track of my bank account, mentioned that I'd spent a lot out at the bar over the weekend, and he was concerned about that. My mother and her ubiquitous best friend/co-worker chimed in and repeatedly stated that it was an unwise decision to have just taken my debit card out and paid for a night of drinks and food totalling around $50 without waiting first to have someone split it with me, or subsequently ask for cash for the other person's share. I told them that I was trying to be nice and I got the point, so we could be done with it. So then my mother's friend says she's gonna give me some cash for some of the bill, and speak to my other friend about not paying her part of the bill, and at first I said ok, that would be good, then it occured to me to mention that my friend had bought me lunch to make up for me paying the bar bill the night before. After I mentioned this, they said I really needed to he made the coonection before, because it counted as a social compact and a partial payback for the night before. Is it a big deal that I didn't mention it before, or was the recation a little overkill? Link to post Share on other sites
