People loved this woman’s response to the sister-in-law who always forgets her wallet

Our preferred way of not paying our fair share at the end of a night out in the pub or restaurant or wherever is not going out at all.

It’s remarkably effective and causes the minimum of offence, although it can get a bit boring in the long run.

Alternatively, like this person’s sister-in-law, you can perpetually ‘forget’ to bring your wallet, which is obviously a dick move of the highest order.

So they decided to do something about it, as shared in the corner of Reddit called ‘Am I The Asshole’.

‘AITA for bringing my SIL’s wallet to the restaurant when she conveniently always forgets it?’ asked Redditor Slow-Pianist-4431.

And here’s what they had to say.

Bellisimo!

And the overwhelming verdict? ‘Not the asshole.’ Of course it was!

‘NTA but you totally should have flipped the switch- left your wallet at home- only brought your licence so she had to cover the whole bill then never taken her out to a restaurant again.’

‘Wish I thought of that 😂.’

‘She made the reservation and invited you. Etiquette says she would be responsible for 100% of that bill.

‘NTA.’

‘NTA. Awesome power move. But when is your husband gonna step up and make her pay her share?’

‘NTA. Stone cold busted. Next time she books an expensive restaurant, just stand her up, and even better, tell her to find a hotel for her next visit.’

‘NTA. That was a boss move.

‘But if you want to keep it up without getting accused of touching her things, when you’re in the car, don’t let your husband start driving until she shows you she has her wallet on her.

‘You told her right up front “I’m not paying this time” and she tried to push you into it. Honestly, I don’t know why you keep going out with her. Cancel. Or insist your husband pays.

‘Like, what does he say about all of this? Because he needs to have a chat with his sister about how she’s abusing your generosity.

Next time she stays and says there’s a reservation: “Oh, hey, I hope you guys have a nice time. Yeah, I’m not going. I’m getting tired of someone who isn’t my husband continuously trying to fuck me.”

‘Stop eating out with her. When she makes a reservation. Tell her to have a nice evening and DoorDash yourself a nice meal.’
