Woman tells new friend she can't make it to birthday dinner because of a family emergency, friend tells her she needs to pay for her portion of the dinner anyways: 'It feels unfair to ask me to pay'

With the invention of peer-to-peer payment apps, settling up with people has never been easier. You never have to worry about getting someone to pay you back for dinner when you can just request the money you need from them. Crowdsourcing has become a piece of cake. It even makes the gig economy so much easier to manage. Babysitters, drag performers, and odd-job truthers unite worldwide over these new apps (and sometimes you can get away with staying tax-free).

Of course, with most good things, there are some drawbacks. We all have that one friend who doesn't understand the concept of paying it forward and will take their payment app privileges for granted by requesting you for $0.46 for a sip of their coffee. Then again, this friend has always existed. Even the invention of new-age technology could never make these tendencies absolute. One woman told a story about how her friend asked her to pay her fare for a dinner that she didn't even attend. You may read through and conclude that this woman is ultimately a flake and that friend was right to charge her, or you might take her side. Scroll through to see where you fall.
