They would come out for dinner, not order the appetizers (but weren't shy about digging in), order drinks, have a nice meal, then pull out a twenty and toss it in. We're talking $50 worth of food and drinks, and they would KNOWINGLY short it, expecting guys like me to cover it.
I'm the guy who orders 8 appetizers, a bottle of wine, a nice meal and desert, and pays the full shot. I don't expect anyone else to put in on what I order, but it's kinda nice if you eat half my nachos. What blows my mind though is when the bill is STILL short after I just paid over half of it.

That's really irritating. A few months ago I went out to dinner with three people from work . The one guy ordered a $90 bottle of wine after the rest of us told him we wouldn't be drinking any. And we didn't. And yeah when we split the tab 4 ways he didn't take the hint that it would be kinda nice if he paid for that wine himself, but because he's a co-worker we didn't want to make a big deal. But boy the WHOLE office knows about it!
