If you thought the title was a clever metaphor then no, I'm actually talking about spliting a bill. If you went out with your friends would you split the bill or just pay for your share? Because paying only for you seems strange even if you say you are short on cash but I'll explain why spliting the can be sometimes bad in the next paragraph, please post your opinion. Well me and my friends went out to restaurant x and we got what we ordered, but me being a Christian in Lent on a Friday I couldn't eat meat so I didn't. All I ordered was a small coke. When the bill comes everyone agreedy to divide evenly so I ended up doing the same... And it cost me $17 for a same coke... Its not like I'm low on money but errr paying $17 for a coke?
