My pet peeve is the opposite--you go out with either a couple of buddies, or a couple of couples, and one person orders the full load and booze, while you get a water and something cheap (because you are broke), and then at the end they want to split it evenly. Get bent--you pay for what you wanted, I'll pay for what I got. I definitely won't short it, but I don't want to subsidize your meal, especially back when I was broke and that was the reason I wasn't ordering everything on the menu.
Of course I have my good group of friends that we all pay for each other at times and know it will even out, as well my financial situation is very different so that it isn't as critical, but I see no reason for people not to just figure out what they owe and put in a fair amount.
Now the people that end up not putting in enough, that's another rant altogether......
