Then I guess it's now up to you if you want to go down that road; bringing everything up or not. I'm just showing you his perspective; that he feels you also owe him something.
I have a few friends where we don't worry about cash; as you say things just work themselves out. Then I have friends who have 8 guys helping them move all day, only order 2 large pieces, then when we are saying to each other: "no you go ahead and have that last slice", he thinks he ordered "the right amount" of pizza.
And yes I did pull buddy aside when we were alone to point out the error of his ways. 2 months later he pulled the same stunt at his kid's birthday party.
But for those failings he is still a good friend, and I just need to clarify matters of money with him. I know that, and if keeping a good friend and learning this lesson costs you $15, then I say its worth it.
