A woman is fuming after having to pay towards a meal for an uninvited guest during a friend's birthday dinner. She took to Mumsnet to explain that her close-knit group of 15 years had organised to take their friend out to dinner for her birthday, and one friend decided to bring his wife.
The woman posted in the 'am I being unreasonable' thread complaining about having to contribute to the wife's part of the £170 bill. She wrote: "Went for dinner for a friend's birthday who we hadn't seen for a while and who had come all the way down from another city. This friend has had a rough year so we were treating her to dinner.
"Male friend at the last minute asked if he could bring his wife along as she really wanted to join us. Fine but a bit annoying as she's not really a part of this friendship group that we'd formed 15 years ago at work but we've spent enough time with her as he has a habit of bringing her along to everything. So four of us (who once worked together) plus this wife.
