The One Dinner Move That Reveals Everything About Someone's Character

About this episode

The episode discusses the complexities of splitting bills among friends and the social implications of various dining behaviors.

Friend funds are a thing now, where friendship groups pool money to cover socialising costs. But does that not just sound like splitting the bill with extra steps? We get into the real drama: people who itemise exactly what they had, latecomers who dodge the entree split, and the classic T-Rex hands move where someone's arms mysteriously get too short to reach the bill whenever it arrives. Also a genuine disagreement: if you invite people to your birthday dinner, should you pay or should they? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
