'My sister-in-law forces me to pay the bill at restaurants - so I used her card'
While delicious food at restaurants is usually enjoyable, there tends to be some awkward tension at the end of the meal. When diners are faced with the bill, they're slapped with the ultimate question - do they split the bill equally? Or do they pay for the items they individually ordered?
However, a woman has claimed that her sister-in-law forces her to pay for the bill altogether. Taking to popular forum Reddit, the anonymous user claims that she got her own back on her stingy in-law. It comes as the woman has a tendency of 'conveniently always forgetting' her purse at expensive restaurants.

She explained: "My (f28) sister-in-law 'Amy' (f26) always comes to visit from out of town. She stays with us instead of a hotel, and always wants to go to expensive restaurants.
"She always conveniently forgets her wallet, or domes up with some excuses as to why she can’t pay her share. She has implied that since I make much more money than her, I should be the one to pay (no, not my husband should pay, but me specifically).

"I do make a fair amount of money, but not so much that I can treat someone every time they come into town. Nonetheless, in the past, I have just paid the bill and asked her to pay me back. She never has.
"She had made a reservation at an extremely expensive restaurant last night, and before we left, I made it clear that I wouldn’t be paying her bill.
"This is where I might be the a**hole, and I'll admit I got this move straight from and episode of Two and a Half men. As we were leaving, her and my husband went to the car. I pretended I forgot something and went back inside. I found her wallet sitting right on top of her suitcase. I put it in my purse and we went to the restaurant.
"When we were done eating, I asked for separate bills. She said no, we need one bill, because she 'forgot' her wallet again. I reached in my purse and said, 'this wallet?'
"She was extremely furious. She said that I should not have touched or grabbed her wallet."
Seeking advice, the woman questioned: "So am I the a**hole for taking her wallet and bringing it to the restaurant?"
Since posting, the woman's thread has raked in over 3,800 comments to take.
Flocking to the comment section, one person wrote: "Not the a**hole but you totally should have flipped the switch - left your wallet at home - only brought your licence so she had to cover the whole bill then never taken her out to a restaurant again."
Meanwhile, someone wrote: "Personally, I like the way you did it better. I wish I could have seen her face when she saw the wallet."
