6 “We’ll Dutch Equally The Bill”

You must have had the expensive cocktail at the restaurant but your friend or colleague has ordered a simple mocktail instead. There may be people in the group who did not order anything. So splitting the bill equally is not fair as everyone has not spent the same amount. It is better that each pay for the meals and drinks they had or ask the server to separate the checks.

7 “Will You Give Me Friendship Discount”

Pay for any professional advice you get from your lawyer or interior designer friend. You may be their good friend but relationship does not mean you start asking for discounts. People work to earn money and someone who has spent time and resources for you should be compensated. So offer money even if they do not bring it up.

8 “I Wish I Could Buy That 3BHK Flat”

Never complain about your money crunch to buy things in front of people who earn less than you. You may be dreaming of staying in a huge flat but your cribbing about being unable to buy a 3BHK may be unpleasant for a friend who hardly manages to pay monthly rental of his flat. It is better to avoid such conversations for you may not know what financial crunch your friend is going through.

9 “How Much You Paid For This Dress”

It may happen that the dress which is appealing you bought by your friend is from an inexpensive store and that too on discount. It will be really awkward for your friend to reveal this to you. Just appreciate what she has worn. If you are really curious about its price then check online or in some store. But asking your friend can make them lie to you.

10 “Oh! I Forgot To Bring Money To Repay You”

If you have borrowed money from your friend or relative and promised to repay on a certain day then keep this deadline in mind. The amount may be small or large but ones money is dearer to all. People give loans to near and dear ones because of their trust in a relationship. And if you forget to repay then you are breaching that trust. Next time the person will be careful before helping you. And you will not like if your friend or relative cribs about your non-payment to her in front of others harming your reputation.
