Woman shocked after friend invited her for dinner then charged her for the meal

A woman has been outraged by a friend who asked her to pay for part of a meal she hosted at her house.

A nice dinner party with your mates is always a great way to catch up and spend some quality time together.

While a lot of time and effort goes into planning a party, you probably wouldn't expect to be asked to pay for it.

Well that's the situation that one woman faced, who was left outraged.

The anonymous woman took to Mumsnet to rant about a friend who invited her over for dinner, but afterwards billed her for the food…erm rude!

Her post read: “We were invited to a friend's house for dinner.

“Took a bottle of good wine with us, we wouldn't ever go empty handed.

“Had a good meal, but they sent us a message after asking for money for each person!

“I thought this was crazy and I would never ask anyone to pay for their food if I invited them over!"

She also added that before she received the message asking for the money, she had already invited the friend and her partner around to their house to return the dinner party favour.

“Am I being unreasonable to be a bit annoyed?" the woman said.

“We've already arranged to have them in a few weeks time and I'm not asking them for anything!”

And people were quick to the comments section to give their opinion on the saga.

One said: “That's awful behaviour!!! What is wrong with some people?!”

Another said: “That's incredibly rude.

“If they couldn't afford to host then they should have asked everyone over and to bring a plate of food.

“Or say come over and we will get a takeaway, but would everyone mind paying for their own share. But to ask for money afterward is just crazy.”

A third added: “That's unbelievably rude.

“I would be absolutely mortified to know someone that tight.”

In a follow up post after a rally of support from commenters, she explained that the steaks that they ate would have been expensive and from a butchers, but says she still ‘wouldn’t dream’ of doing such a thing.

She added: “I've had friends over in the past when I was a student and broke and I would just do a big stew and tell everyone to bring a bottle! But it wouldn't cross my mind to text someone after!!

“[They] asked for just over £20 each.

“I'm assuming that was all the food they cooked divided by all of us.

"We really enjoy their company, they're great friends, It's just this I can't get over.”
