Family dinner comes with a lot of strings attached. And when it comes to siblings–you know, the kind who get along just fine but will always measure their half of the sandwich with a fine-tuned ruler–dinner reservations are never as simple as they should be. Granted, planning any restaurant outing with more than 4 people presents a problem, but even when this brother and sister were given the task of working out the family dinner details, everything went haywire. 

According to little sis, it was her brother's turn to pay for family dinner, but apparently also her choice of restaurants. Read on for the details of this family dispute that was settled at the cash register after an entitled sister thought she'd get away with a free fancy meal at her bro's expense. Unfortunately for her, this vegetarian brother saw nothing on the steakhouse menu but karma.

  • Siblings bicker all the time, but when your sister is an entitled mess, you're probably used to putting her in her place. Fortunately for the vegetarian man in this next tale, he was no stranger to his sister's antics and used her entitlement against her. After she tried to stick him with the 12-person bill at a steakhouse costing around $100 per guest, he immediately bailed. Knowing that he could eat a far more delicious salad prepared at home, he left her stranded with her own reservation, tying her to the anchor of her expensive choice with nobody to foot the payment at the end of the night. 

    Sorry sis, not this time!

    AITAH for canceling a reservation that my sister made for 12 people at a Brazilian steakhouse with the expectation for my vegetarian wife and I to pay for everyone. I said something to my sister privately

    about not going to Brazilian steakhouses because my wife (of 20 years) can not eat there. She suggested that I would be able to save a few dollars on the total bill by my wife "taking one for the team" and eating a salad. I instead

    Blood_sweat_and_beer And not just that, it's also expecting a couple of vegetarians to pay for $1000 worth of steak. Absolute insanity.

    _s1m0n_s3z Why is your sister making reservations on your dime, at all? Why bother canceling? If you didn't book it, and you didn't eat it, why would you pay it? Leave your sister to dine where she wants. Just don't be there to eat. Or pay.

    Charlie_1300 I canceled the reservation out of courtesy to the restaurant. Large-Client-6024 You should have changed the reservation to 10. Leave a message at the restaurant that "something came up" and you and your wife can't make it for the meal. Tell them to enjoy their meal without you... and your wallet.

    YoshiandAims NTA Why does your sister get to spend your money for you? What gives her the idea she can bu y you for what you do with your own money? Why does she get away with calling you cheap, when she wasn't willing to spend over 1,200 dollars to feed the group? And considers

    it "nothing" when it comes from your account? Why is she planning outings with your account in mind, and overruling you on where and what you'll be eating? (She feels entitled, and as though she can. You've allowed that.)

    Your money? Your location. Your reservation. Your budget. Your guest list. I say from now on, she severs herself from your finances and always pays for her own meals. On her birthday her single meal is covered and it has a cap of $25. That's it. She never makes

    reservations on your dime again or she's not going to be invited to anything anymore. It's beyond time for some tough love, and reality. For both of you.
