There's nothing more aggravating than having to share a restaurant bill when you only had water and an appetizer while everyone else had $12 cocktails and a three-course meal.



One man was outraged after paying $150 for mozzarella sticks and water, leaving him unable to afford a taxi home.



TikTok user Steve Guarino was observed going home in the snow after his companions decided to eat lobster and split the cost.



He continued, saying, "Imagine me driving you back home after your buddies decided to split the bill equally, even though I ordered mozzarella sticks while they enjoyed lobster."


In the post, he wrote, "Couldn't afford the Uber cuz of the $150 water and mozz sticks."


The video appears to have struck a chord with other TikTokers, as it garnered hundreds of thousands of views in just a few weeks.


One commenter wrote, "Normalize not feeling bad about paying only for what you ordered."


Another stated, "I'm the friend who performs the arithmetic and divides the tip and taxes equally. Then I inform everybody what they owe."


One person mentioned, "My buddies and I usually split the bill evenly. We pay for our own orders and share the tip."


Another person admitted to skipping dinner so they wouldn't have to pay for other people's drinks.


"I skipped dinner tonight because I don't drink, and I'm not chipping in for Tina's fifth margarita," one stated, to which Stevie responded, "Tina needs to chill."


Choosing whether to split the bill can be a difficult scenario.


In a 2021 research of diners conducted by comparethemarket.com, 34 percent felt the bill should be divided evenly, while 36 percent said it should be divided based on what each individual ordered.


Almost half stated they felt embarrassed about the situation.


Other TikTokers discussed how they handle the conversation, with one disclosing that they always leave early.


"And this is why I always plan to leave 20-30 minutes early... and pull the server aside and tell them to bring me my check separately cuz I have somewhere to be," they went on to say.


And another added: "As a server, simply inform your server from the start that it will be divided checks, if they are permitted to split it by item. Some localities have implemented "no."


"No, I notify the server that my tab is distinct when I place my order. "I'm not playing these games," said a third.


What would you do?

It should come as no surprise that Kanye West and 'implants that are like nothing that has been done before' are mentioned together. He's a man who doesn't take things lightly, and his most recent financial decision was reportedly to spend $850,000 on palladium and platinum teeth. And the oddest part of all? His teeth are all still intact. Credit: Instagram @Kanyewest The implants are termed as 'fixed-prosthodontics', and he designed them with the help of medical and dental professionals. A person familiar with the matter said : "They are, as the name suggests, fixed and permanent, but this goes way beyond veneers or grills."And his implant is unlike anything done before." He collaborated with the so-called 'Father of Diamond Dentistry', Dr. Thomas Connelly, who made and fitted the dentures. The rapper s...

The 'luckiest man in the world' who survived death and won the lottery twice

Image
Featured Image Credit: 9News Your chances of winning the lottery are tiny, roughly one in 45 million, so it is doubtful that any of us would win a large fortune in our lifetime. However, trucker Bill Morgan won the lotto twice. Bill's heart stopped for 14 minutes in June 1998, but he was miraculously revived by physicians. He wasn't out of the woods just yet, as he ended up in a coma for over two weeks. After being engaged in a terrifying vehicle incident, Australian Bill was proclaimed 'clinically dead' by health specialists, yet he outperformed expectations. Bill was out and about one day when he decided to purchase himself a scratch card and was happy to learn he'd won a brand new car - a Toyota Corolla worth $30,000. When word spread of his dramatic reversal of fortunes, a Melbourne television station called Bill to tell his story. While filming the feature, the 9News Australia TV crew requested him to duplicate his victory with a new scratch card, which he duti...

Dog says ‘hello’ in ‘English accent’, leaving people people baffled

Dog says ‘hello’ in ‘English accent’, leaving people people baffled Featured image credit: Jam Press/Tik Tok @fuggersandcompany Dogs have long been known for their cleverness, but a chihuahua has apparently reached a new level of intelligence, as it can speak' with a British accent.  Of course, most dogs are trained to bark when their owners tell them to ‘speak’, but this isn’t your typical woof. It’s a sophisticated, well-chosen delivery of the word ‘hello’, as if it’s coming out of the mouth of a well-dressed university professor. But the amazing thing is that the word doesn’t come from a professor, but rather from a dog named ‘Fuggers’. You heard me, didn’t you? In the video below, Fuggers shares her greeting with her owner, Shana Gilbert, who lives in Bedford, UK. The video begins with Fuggers fidgeting, as if she’s trying to get Shana’s attention. She wags her tail and shuffles along the floor, but then stops dead in her tracks as she decides that words will have more impact....
