I regularly eat with a group of friends and invariably someone forgets their wallet so we cover them and they pay us back. The last few times I have paid for the person that forgot and it took me a couple of weeks to collect. Not a big deal but annoying.

So I brought cash for my meal and drinks this time. I always have the same thing so I know how much my bill will be.

When we were done I put my cash on the table and yup someone forgot their care. Oopsie. They asked me to pay and they would get me back. I said I also forgot my wallet and only had cash. Just enough to pay for my bill.

Someone else offered to pay but was clear that they wanted their money that day.

The person who forgot his card then remembered that he could pay with his phone.

He approached me outside and said I embarrassed him by making him look like he was cheap or something. I said I wasn’t responsible for paying his tab.

AITA?

    Definitely this friend just wanted someone else to pay and then forget until the friend gave up on collecting.
