Social life is an important aspect of every person’s personal growth. Having friends and spending quality time with them is important for building strong relationships, but what happens when your friends take advantage of you?

A person took to Reddit to share how he handled his friends who would always order extremely expensive meals at a restaurant and then expected the bill to be shared eaqually.

Although splitting the bill can help avoid awkwardness and ensure fairness if everyone’s orders are roughly equal in cost, paying for someone’s expensive taste might feel unfair to those people who ordered much less.

Here’s the man’s story.

“I(27M) have been a part of a small friend group, around 8 people total, basically since college. For some background, 2 people from the group, Susan and Greg, are just absolute leeches. Going out for lunch? Expect them to order the most expensive on the menu, then feed you some sob story about their finances, and then dumb half the bill on you.

“Last weekend, Dan, one of the people from the group, told me about a casual dinner. I told him how if Susan or Greg were there I wouldn’t be able to come. He tells me that they would be there but I should just put my opinions aside and come just once. This is kind of where I might be a bad guy. l agreed with him and told him I would be there. I show up and we all get to talking. Everyone began putting in their orders, most of them spent about $40. There were only about 6 people there. When it gets to Susan and Greg, they both order expensive dishes, around $200.
