A woman is anxious about her friend's birthday after offering to take her out for a pub lunch, only to have her friend request a pricier dining experience.
Taking to Mumsnet's popular Am I Being Unreasonable [AIBU] thread, the woman explained she's going to Manchester for a shopping trip and lunch and has already spent £65 on her friend's birthday gift. She offered to treat them both to lunch, thinking it would only cost around £40 in a pub but her friend has declined all her suggestions in favour of more expensive venues.
In a post titled "Friend's birthday meal...I'm paying and she picked expensive place, aibu [am I being unreasonable]?" she was concerned about looking "tight" for not wanting to go somewhere in her friend's chosen price bracket. She also wondered if her friend was being "a bit cheeky".
