Dinner

And then of course there was the incident of the €1,700 dinner bill. The vegetarian, non-wine drinkers always get shafted on things like that.

Would this not be the perfect excuse to allow yourself to order something rediculously expensive? or start drinking wine.. or looks around surreptitiously eating meat?

Perhaps your more interested in keeping the overall cost down, though. ponders

Ordering something ridiculously expensive means that I pay more. Perhaps not proportionately more for what I’m getting, but it still means I’m paying more on a bill I already can’t afford.

Right right.. I presumed all that, but it is my job to make you relatively irritated with me at every chance I get.

you know, greg, you could start politely putting your foot down and asking people to divide up tabs a little more evenly.

coming from someone who has eaten more than her fair share of a bill with you, i know i wouldn’t mind. :)

That’s made more difficult when you’re with 25 or 30 people, you don’t know many of them, and everyone’s ready to move on to the pub; Dividing up a 1700 euro check based on what each person consumed takes a good deal of time and effort.
