It just so happens that sometimes the people you thought to be your friends wind up being those who only wish to take advantage of you, and this Reddit user that goes byu/OldAbbreviations6423 found themselves in a somewhat similar position.
The thing is, the netizen has a pretty comfortable salary, unlike most of their pals. They always split the tab whenever they go out to eat, but recently they had to bolt to avoid having to pay for the people their friends brought along.

NTA. And Irish exit is not an insult, speaking as an Irishman. People are insulted on behalf of their great grandmother that immigrated to the US 100 years ago and their 1/8 Irish blood began to boil. F 'em las.

I agree with the comments about separate checks. Makes it very clear you won't be paying for other people who order more/more expensive items.

I can't believe no one has mentioned that it took 45 minutes before anyone even noticed he was gone. It was only when they got the check that they realized and started texting him

I hate splitting the check, always ask for separate. Happened at a work group lunch, I ordered a simple meal from the lunch menu, no drink just water. Everyone else ordered dinner entrees and drinks, expecting me to chip in for their $20 -30 meal before tip, when mine was $15 tax and tip in.

I agree, splitting the check is some nonsense! I'm not here to subsidize your alcohol intake.
