Going for a big meal with your pals is all fun and games until it comes to the absolute nightmare that is paying at the end.
There’s always that one friend who just doesn’t agree with everyone else on how it should be split, and the poor waiter ends up awkwardly standing there while you bicker.
And one group’s dinner bill fiasco went viral after a man shared videos of them arguing over how to pay back in 2023.
Content creator Vic Gotti, who refused to split the £3,500 [$4,600] birthday dinner bill, shared what food and drink they all ordered to prove his point.

The man took to YouTube after TikTok clips saw some people insisting that splitting the bill was fairest, others refusing to even think about going Dutch, while the birthday girl refused to cough up altogether.
She fumed: "Like it's my f**king birthday, why the f**k should I have to pay for something on my birthday?"
Other attendees weren't convinced by this argument with Gotti yelling: "Y'all doing way too much.
"We didn't order all that. I'm not paying for this baby girl."

In response, another man challenged him: "What's the point in getting food if you can't pay for it?!" So obviously, things got heated.
Explaining himself in a follow up video, Gotti said: "I see that stuff is expensive, this is my first time in this restaurant.
"It's not even that I'm cheap, I just don't know what I want to order.
"I go ahead and I get the calamari and the sprite.”

Turning to three of his friends sitting in on the video, he asks them what they tucked into.
The first admits to getting the duck tacos, calamari and a drink.
Gotti claims that other people in the group were splurging on bottles of champagne and lamb chop steaks.
Gotti ranted: "Y'all wondering how it got up to $4,600."
Although one of his friends insisted Gotti was 'drinking like he was out of the ocean', even asserting that he downed half a bottle.

In response, Gotti explained: "I thought it was free. We all thought it was free."
It's a mistake anyone could have made, right? Because restaurants famously love giving out champagne for nothing, obviously.
Gotti continued: "They kept ordering stuff. Ordering multiple desserts.
"We were having bottles of water, they were having bottles of wine!
"When the bill came, I said I'd pay for what I ordered, and they proceeded to call me broke."

Well, hopefully the group goes somewhere a little cheaper and perhaps more user-friendly for the next birthday.
