Money Moral Dilemma: Was I wrong to pay my mate back in fish and chips?

justworriedabit

the title made me chuckle and as i post, lol. sorry just being honest.

if someone did that to me i'd  smash the chips over their head, not literally of course.

I live in the south - fish and chips costs the best part of a tenner - not including peas, gravy etc.  You should have given him his £5 back - he did not ask you to buy food for him!

Whether you cook for each other or it's a takeaway  - it's the same thing.

I don't blame him.

Two things-you haven't paid him back and you are no longer his "mate"

Is this the pick of the week dilemma-wise? Mmmhh.
Yes, petty as this thread is, wrong would appear to be the unanimous consensus.

I would have just given him the £5 back and not used it to buy fish and chips.  **Fish and chips costs way more than £5 where live**.

He needed the case and you let him down don’t ever do that again and learn a valuable lesson in respectfulness.

I agree, you shoiuld have given him the option of money or dinner, not to just assume it was ok to spend HIS £5 on what you  decide. Give him his £5, small amount to lose a friend over. He was good enough to lend it, you should be good enough to pay it back.
