Then ordered ridiculously expensive stuff or created an embarrassing scene about how they can't afford anything - last time it was sharing a pizza as a main course and only ordering a glass of tap water each. Then they always helped themselves liberally to the wine or the shared salad and often offered to finish off other people's left overs. When it came to the bill, they only ever offered to pay what THEY thought was right for the meal, which often was much less than if we were to split it by the actual cost of dishes let alone splitting the bill equally! They also never left a tip... <BR/><BR/>They are a lovely couple but we had to stop going out for meals with them as it was slowly bankrupting us and they never saw that they were being unfair or rudeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
