+1 to women being the worst offenders, unless they have had experience as a server/bartender.
I went to a dinner/drinks with my girlfriend (serving experience) and 2 other girls. The bill came out to about $100 so $120 should have sufficed. I put in 30 and so did my girlfriend, the other 2 girls put in $20 each and I was dumbfounded. They were a bit drunk but I had to explain to them why they didn't put in nearly enough when we all had ordered about the same amount in entree's and drinks. They were adamant that $20 was enough.
I had to literally take out my cell phone to calculate each piece they ordered and add tax and tip to it as well before they conceded that they had not put in enough. ******* unbelievable...I mean yeah $20 isn't a lot of money to cover their asses, but when they simply refused to own up to what they had ordered that really got me heated. Last time I split a bill with them.
My good friends are no problem. Usually one person will cover the meal and then as the night goes on, that person doesn't pay for any drinks/cab fare and we rotate it around. Keeps it pretty simple.
