If I was going out with friends, I'd make sure and take a set amount of cash and pay according to what I ordered...Heres my 18 bucks to cover my dinner and tax/tip...(etc) It's one thing to pay a couple of extra bucks but it's not fair to pay for plates and drinks you didn't order if the amount is ridiculous.

I will generally do what she said in the first paragraph ... then if they say let's split appetizers ... if you don't want to be part of that bill ... make sure you speak up and tell them you don't want to split that ... you are just ordering what you want to eat tonight.
