A man faced a common dilemma when dining with friends who habitually ordered expensive meals and expected the bill to be split evenly. He decided to take a stand, leading to a surprising outcome that left everyone talking.

The man, who had been part of an eight-person friend group since college, was frustrated with two members, Susan and Greg, who consistently ordered the most expensive items and then split the bill evenly. When invited to dinner, he attended despite knowing Susan and Greg would be there. As expected, they ordered expensive dishes. To everyone’s surprise, the man only ordered a $4 drink, claiming he lost his appetite. His friends followed suit, canceling their orders and opting for drinks. When it came time to split the bill, he insisted it be divided based on what was actually consumed, leaving Susan and Greg with a hefty share.

The next morning, Susan, Greg, and another friend bombarded him with texts, criticizing his actions. He found the situation amusing, believing they finally faced the consequences of their behavior.
