Confession: I dicked over a work lunch outing once. Boss says "we're going out for Christmas lunch" and we end up at a nice seafood place

I don't like seafood so I order a chicken fingers meal and a coke. Higher-ups are ordering lobster, beers, etc.

Bill time comes and bossman asks for everyone to pitch in for the meal and splits it divided by the people in attendance. My $12 chicken meal became a $30-40 meal because I was paying for everyone else's high-end meals and drinks. I dropped $20 on the table and went back to work leaving them to figure it out.

Bad move. The correct answer would have been to buy the chicken fingers meal and a bottle of tequila -- nm - Roger More Dec 20, 13:27

I wouldn't say you dicked it over at all... - Stephen Dec 20, 13:09 2
- agreed. Someone tried to pull that crap on me once. I declined and just paid my own bill. -- nm - sycor Dec 20, 13:10
