Slightly insensitive, but I'm reliably told that lawyers can be a bit self obsessed.<BR/><BR/>Did you ever watch the Friends where it was someone's birthday and Pheobe, Rachel and Joey resented having to split the bill at a posh restaurant as they couldn't afford it? <BR/><BR/>It was awkward when the others found out, but cheaper in the long run!Tamannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06910500014788850760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18030562.post-50037659577561814322008-05-20T22:19:00.000+10:002008-05-20T22:19:00.000+10:00I solved that one by never splitting the bill down...I solved that one by never splitting the bill down the middle. I always have the waitress split the check if I'm just paying for my own. I don't want to pay for anybody else's meal unless I offered to pay for it. I think I split the meal down the middle once in my whole life, with a friend who we really WERE splitting everything and sharing it so it was a mutual meal (my best friend from 13 yrs of age onwards and I love food, so we decided to just agree on what to order, throw it in the middle of the table, and go for it! It was fun, actually). Doing it the way your friend does it would really make me feel resentful, to be honest.Kirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08878069196150532952noreply@blogger.com
