She And Her Husband Went Out To Dinner With A Couple Who Forced Them To Foot The Entire Bill
Have you ever gone out to dinner with someone or a group of people who expected you to pay the entire bill without you even knowing?
One woman recently told the story of how her husband ended up paying for another couple’s dinner after they threw some not-so-subtle hints that they were expecting him to pay.
Ebony and her husband Jon (@ebonyandjon) make lifestyle content on TikTok and gained more attention on the app after Ebony made a video detailing their awkward dinner experience.
A few days ago, Ebony and Jon decided to go to dinner with another couple they hadn’t seen in a while.
They were in a group chat with the couple, who had the idea to go out and expressed how excited they were to see Ebony and Jon because they had a lot to catch up on and a lot to celebrate, as this couple had recently gotten engaged.
Ebony and Jon arrived at the restaurant excited to see their friends, but things started going slightly downhill from the beginning.
First, the couple arrived 30 minutes late, leaving Ebony and Jon stressed that they would lose their table. Once they were finally seated, things got better. The couple ordered a bunch of food, including appetizers and drinks, and everyone enjoyed each other’s company and whatnot.
Toward the end of their meal, they all took a celebratory shot, and the vibes were good all around. But then, when it was time to pay the bill and head home, things took a turn again.
“John and I are noticing that the restaurant is starting to close, they’re starting to pack up, there’s a lot less people in the restaurant,” recalls Ebony.

“So, I got the signal.”
Ebony asked their waitress for the check, and once it was on the table, everyone’s eyes fell on it.
Then, the man from the opposite couple suddenly asked where the bathroom was and said he needed to go. Although she had a feeling something was off, Ebony showed him where to go, and he left the table, leaving his fiancee with Ebony, Jon, and the check.
After awkwardly sitting there for a while, it became obvious to Ebony and Jon that no one from the other couple would be touching the check on the table. So, Jon reluctantly picked up the check and put his card down.
Then, the woman from the couple asked Jon, “Oh, you’re treating?” as if she hadn’t been paying attention to the check the entire time.
Jon responded, “I guess so.”
When the other man finally returned to the table, he noticed Jon’s card had been put down and nonchalantly said, “Thank you for treating!”
While Jon eventually shrugged off the incident and said it was no problem, Ebony couldn’t help but feel perturbed by their friends.
At this point, I’m very annoyed,” says Ebony.
“I’m annoyed with her, and I’m annoyed with him, and I didn’t say anything. We wound up paying for their entire meal, plus their drinks, plus the tip.”
At the end of her video, Ebony asks her viewers what they would’ve done in that situation, and many of them believe she should’ve spoken up in the moment.
“Honestly, I’m annoyed that you guys would be this bothered yet not say anything!” commented one TikTok user.
“I’d immediately let them know that we are not treating and to pony up.”
What would you have done if you were in Ebony’s position?
@ebonyandjon This was honestly so awkward and expensive!!! I was so annoyed with both the other man and woman but we kept our cool and will probably NOT be going out with them again. #storytime #fyp #datenight #advice #truestory #relatable #husband
