Marisa Sung’s Rules of Etiquette for the Modern World Number 15

Never insist on picking up the check and then charging me half!!

When I have graced you with my presence at a restaurant and I chat up a nice hedge fund honcho who is sitting next to us–do not speak for me when he offers to pick up the tab. That’s why these guys make the big bucks. While you may not be on a budget, I am!!! I find it one of the best perks of being a woman–men get to pick up the check! 🙂 Worst of all, after you insisted on being the big feminist that you are and insisting on taking the bill, you had the audacity to ask me for half the bill when you ordered a lot more than I did. Fat chance! Also you need to order far less food and alcohol-that bill was astronomical! We will never be meeting up again because you really cramp my style. 🙁
