    Okay so a buddy of mine was getting married and had a bachelor party. We all met up at a pretty nice restaurant to begin the evening. I got stuck in traffic
  • and I was there about 45 minutes late. They had all been sitting around drinking heavily and already had several rounds of expensive cocktails by the time I got there.
  • They had already ordered the food but it hadn't arrived. Since I was late I just ordered a small steak and one beer, my total was maybe 30 bucks. The bill comes

  • and it's astronomical. Then they all look around and say shall we split the check? They tally it up and it's like $180 a person. I didn't even bring that much cash
  • with me so I couldn't have paid an even share if I wanted to. I mentioned that all I had was a steak and a beer and I put in 60 bucks. Everyone kind of side
  • eyes me and I hear a couple people at the end of the table grumble about how cheap I am. I don't even really know those guys so I shrug it off.

  • Later in the evening, one of the guys I do know pretty well pulls me aside and tells me that it's my buddy's bachelor party and I should have chipped in my full
  • share. That a couple of the other guys who I don't know are upset with me. He suggests I pay for a couple of rounds at the nightclub we were at to make up for it. But I declined and said I paid for way more than I ate.

  • Am I in the wrong here? I mean I know it's my buddy's bachelor party and all but $180 for a steak and a beer?
  • EDIT: everybody is s assuming I'm broke and only have $60 to my name. This isn't the case, I make a decent living and could have covered the entire check no
  • problem. But I was running to late and didn't have a chance to stop and get cash. I had $100 on me and I assumed I'd be fine for dinner. When I saw they had been

  • I ordered a small steak and a beer because I thought the kitchen could make it quick and I'd be able to get my food with everyone else, which I did.
  • andrei_snarkovsky The only rule of bachelor parties is that the bachelor doesn't pay. After the bachelor is covered, what the rest of the party ordered for themselves was on them.

  • loricomments Screw that. You are not there to subsidize their drinking and you did kick in extra for the groom. They're the cheapskates, not you. Edit for my proofreading.
  • Comfortable-Focus123 You always discuss prior. There are always people who will take advantage of these types of situation.
  • Lucky_Log2212 Not wrong. They partied, they drank and you didn't. They shouldn't be so dumb to have done that. They said they were splitting the bill. YOU paid for your portion. What they did was on them, not you. They can be as mad as they want to be.
