Some people can be inconsiderate about other people’s allergies.
Would you agree to split the cost of party food you couldn’t eat because of allergies, or would you think that was unreasonable and decide you didn’t even want to go to the party?
This woman was invited to contribute to a party organized by her friend, but she found out that she’s allergic to most of the food they are planning to buy.
She’s wondering if she overreacted.
Check out the full story.
AITAH for backing out of a ‘party/get together ‘ after finding out my ‘friends’ are planning on buying a lot of the food I cannot eat?
I have a friend, let’s call her H.
She proposed that we have a get-together.
I was down and started saving up for money to contribute.
This woman looked forward to making new friends at the get-together.
She told me we’d be 12 girls in total.
Most of them are her friends I’ve met before though I’m not very close with them.
I was fine with it, since I was looking forward to making new friends.
She agreed to contribute for the party.
Days later, we agreed on an amount to contribute per person.
We also agreed that everyone will contribute and we will make a budget together.
We agreed to keep in mind people’s allergies or diet restrictions.
She found out she’s allergic to most of the food on the menu.
Then, on Monday, H texted me and sent a document of the budget.
I was shocked, but I still opened it.
I found that a lot of the food were things I can’t eat due to allergies and food restrictions.
I asked her about it, and she answered that the majority agreed with those things.
She decided not to attend.
She said I should get over it and that I can just eat the other things there.
I thought about it and decided I wouldn’t go.
Now, people are calling her petty and a jerk.
I was called a jerk when I asked for my money back, since I won’t be attending.
H and her friends are calling me a petty person because backing out will do damage to their budget.
But I don’t see the problem here, so am I really being unreasonable here?
It was inconsiderate of them not to take her food restrictions into consideration.
Let’s check out the comments of other people on Reddit.
This user agrees that H is in the wrong.
People are calling her out.
Your friends aren’t great, says this person.
Short and simple.
Finally, here’s an honest opinion from this person.
Often, you get to see the true colors of people when money is involved.
