My (f28) SIL “Amy” (f26) always comes to visit and stays with us and always wants to go to expensive restaurants.
She always conveniently forgets her wallet, or comes up with some excuses as to why she can’t pay her share.
She has implied that since I make much more money than her, I should be the one to pay (no, not my husband should pay, but me specifically).
I do make a fair amount of money, but not so much that I can treat someone every time. Nonetheless, in the past, I have just paid the bill and asked her to pay me back. She never has.
She had made a reservation at an extremely expensive restaurant last night, and before we left, I made it clear that I wouldn’t be paying her bill.
I’ll admit I got this move straight from and episode of Two and a Half men. As we were leaving, her and my husband went to the car. I pretended I forgot something and went back inside. I found her wallet sitting right on top of her bag. I put it in my purse and we went to the restaurant.
When we were done eating, I asked for separate bills. She said no, we need one bill, because she “forgot” her wallet again. I reached in my purse and said, “this wallet is it?”
She was extremely furious. She said that I should not have touched or grabbed her wallet.
