    Organism - Stanley YelNaatz @_snaatz_ · Mar 11 Replying to @AmberSmelson A friend once invited me over for dinner & wouldn't offer me a drink because I didn't bring my own booze. My bad I guess for not being a polite guess and showing up w/ wine or something, but still feels weird...? I just sat there drinking water while she made herself a Manhattan. 204 27 148 5,207

Even where reciprocity is expected, it's typically been non-simultaneous, and only calculated silently in folks' heads. ♡ 1 27 2 87 Sam Bliss @ii_sambliss · Mar 11 Now venmo allows us to never let a buddy buy us a beer.

    Organism - Jessica Kragt @jlkragt · Mar 11 Omg YES. I specifically tell people not to send me money on Venmo if I buy them something. I don't want to nickel and dime people, I an buy someone a cup of coffee or dinner without needing to be paid back. Most of my friends and I just trade off picking up checks. 12 27 7 366

    Font - Emelie Van Rodin @EmTheVan · Mar 12 Replying to @AmberSmelson As someone who host often I usually ask for people to chip in what they can to help me cover costs if they enjoyed the food. I would never stop someone from eating no matter though. I invite my friends I like to hang out with and they pay what they want to make it happen more. 157 27 61 209

    World - SaurabhD @SaurabhD82 · Mar 11 Replying to @AmberSmelson Friend invited us to his b’day party at at a restaurant and had to pay for our food and drinks. Is that how Americans celebrate their birthdays? 346 27 239 3,177 SaurabhD @SaurabhD82 · Mar 11 •.. Among us Indians, the person who's bday it is usually pays for everything. If it's just a casual dinner then we split the bill. 24 27 13 264 Darwin @mdog73 · Mar 11 •.. Why would someone pay on their own birthday? weird. O 13 27 8 164

    Organism - Daniel D @realdanield · Mar 11 Replying to @AmberSmelson Not to turn it into a race thing, but any mexican that invites you over, will give you free beer, shots of tequila, the full menu buffet, and give you a plate to take home to your family. And usually we do it all while we're broke. 106 27 48 2,068

    Organism - Dennis Buch. @LawyerBuch... · Mar 11 ... Dave Barry had a great way to not get invited to parties. I think you've found an equally great way to ensure you're the most important (and only!) person at your own parties. "I can win an argument on any topic, against any opponent. People know this, and steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great respect, they don't even invite me." - Dave Barry. | 119

    Organism - Justice For All @JusticeAuger · Mar 11 Replying to @AmberSmelson If I invite you over for dinner, you don't need to bring anything. I got you. Appetizers, dinner, drinks, and desert. Anyone who hosts differently is petty and rude. I can't believe some of the comments on this thread. 7 289
