Sounds like bliss, right?
Sounds like a smooth operation, right?
Well, it was.
Until one Saturday morning, when a family conflict erupted, due to one members unpaid meal.
After a pleasant meal, the OPs family headed home, leaving him to handle the bill.
And thats when things went sideways.
The bill came to a jaw-dropping $171!
The OPs eyes nearly popped out of his head.
Something smelled fishy, and it wasnt the seafood omelet.
When he checked the itemized receipt, it became clear that his sister-in-laws family tab had been left unpaid.
Her clan of three had racked up $111 worth of breakfast goodies.
Thats a lot of pancakes and bacon!
She was out of town but asked Sam to cover it, promising to pay him back later.
Given her track record of often forgetting to pay back her debts, Sam demanded an immediate cash transfer.
Although shocked at the hefty $111breakfastbill, the sister-in-law eventually sent the exact amount, no tip included.
Sam paid, tipped the waitress, and left.
Any greed, desire or entitlement is most likely to sour the relationship.
Is it really necessary to be lenders and borrowers within the family?
The sister-in-law however, seemed to expect a free pass, possibly relying on past leniency.
This is a common issue in family dynamics where one member consistently expects others to pick up their tab.
So, whos the real jerk here?
