Hey, Awful Gang, I do hope you're well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out

some more Reddit stories. And if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider? And I like,

that subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. Super cheeky of you by the way. Let's crack on

with today's first story.

Much love guys.

Now today's first story comes from Johnny's salad from the Am I Wrong subreddit and says,

Am I wrong for being blindsided by a friend's birthday dinner costing me $1,100. Absolutely not. But slow down Mark. Let's read the story first.

So Opie says birthday dinner for a friend cost $540 per person. My wife and I were invited to a major

city to celebrate a friend's 40th.

There were two days in the schedule, but we could only attend one because of my work schedule.

We went to a fancy dinner and expected it to be over the top and expensive because it's

their 40th birthday, and they have high paying jobs and like to splurge.

We met everyone at dinner at a fancy restaurant and found

out it was a family-style six-course meal. When the check came, our friend's wife put it

all on her card and we assumed the bill would be split up afterwards. We knew it would be expensive,

but we were okay with it. Went for drinks after slept at our hotel and

drove back the next day today our friend's wife messages us the total minus tax and gratuity

split between the 13 of us was five hundred and forty dollars per person we figured on the high

end because we'd spend maybe half that for both of us.

We really thought more like $300 total for both of us based on the quality of the food.

I'm pretty offended that it wasn't communicated ahead of time that this meal was going to be

a fucking mortgage payment. But what do I do here? Edit 1, we expect to spend a lot of money
