My husband and I were invited to my colleague\u2019s birthday at a fancy place. I got home, and she texted me, \u201cThanks for coming. Your part of the bill is $190 + tip.\u201d I was livid because I had brought her a nice gift. I ignored her text. Then, a few hours later, I decided to write to her, \u201cI think I have already paid you with the nice gift I brought ;).\u201d<\/p>\n
But the real shock came the next day. I went to work, and as I walked in, people stared. Another colleague rushed up to me and said, \u201cCan you believe it? One of the girls refused to pay her part of the dinner yesterday! What a cheapskate!\u201d I kept quiet and didn\u2019t reveal it was me. Then, I was shocked when I found sitting on my desk, the gift that I had brought her. She had returned it! I still believe what she did was against etiquette. You can\u2019t expect people to bring a gift and pay for an expensive dinner when you\u2019re the one inviting them. Am I wrong? Stella<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
