wow somee friends right askk mom for moneyy:D

Why would you take your friends out for your birthday? If they knew you were paying for the bill, they probably assumed you would pay for the cake, too.

Wait, #11 - are you trying to commiserate and complain that your friends planned dinner for you, took you out, and split the bill - as if that's something to be upset about? Did they split your meal with you, or make you pay for half of the entire bill? If it was half of the ENTIRE bill, then MAYBE I could see why you'd be a little peeved, but after they planned a special night for you, is it really too much to ask that maybe you bother to pitch in just a tad? To the OP, that does suck - but who's to say they even brought any money - sounds to me like you'd planned the evening on the basis that you would be treating them all. I personally wouldn't sit back and let a friend treat me on their birthday, but I also probably wouldn't spring for a cake on top of dinner if they chose a wicked expensive place either.

Why would YOU take your friends out for YOUR birthday?? They should be taking you out!!

TO ALL ASSUMING THE OP SPLIT THE BILL OR WONDERING WHY HE PAID: This FML comes from Pakistan. Its a cultural thing. It's common courtesy for the person who invited out the friends to pay. The OP, being the "host", would therefore pay for his friends as he invited them to celebrate with him. It doesn't matter that it is was his birthday- this is standard. He did not SPLIT the bill, he paid for their meals. However they ordered him a "surprise" cake and then forced him to pay- this is incredibly rude and uncalled for in any culture. He would have already had spent a significant sum on their meals, without this expense. And think about it. He's paying for their meals and they wont even split to pay for a cake THEY got for HIM? Really now.

Well you deserve it. You took them out not the other way around.

#48- Yes the OP took them out, but HE didn't order the cake. It's like you inviting me to your birthday party, I buying you an xbox 360, and then informing you I used your credit card.

You should have simply not paid the cake because you didn't order it. Period ;) FYL and FYFs.

Wait.......so you paid for all your friend's food?

HAHAHAHA. Oh tht sucks. Atleast you ate cake? Was it good? and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I say T(they)DI, they did have the good thought to take you out. So TDI the cake, mmm ;)
