Dinner Time

Many of us enjoy going out for dinner, or to a friends house for a bbq, but what happens when it comes time to eat and drink? For example, in the case of a bbq, should you only eat what you brought or the equivalent (i.e don't eat the steak if you only brought sausages) or because its a group situation should you feel free to help yourself to whatever is on offer?
Also if you are eating out with a group, should you split the bill evenly amongst the group, regardless of whether you've ordered the most or least expensive thing on the menu, or should everyone pay for what they ordered?

If you feel like steak then dont bring sausages...... If you feel like sausages then bring sausages, if you feel like both the bring both. But i cant stand cheap skates like that. They always bring the cheapest meat but eat the most expensive, bring the worst beer but only drink the good one that you bought. I would have to say that drives me crazy. Bring what you enjoy!!!!!
As for spliting the bill i think it should be split equaly between the group, how much more is it going to add to yours really..... If you like the people your dining with then it wont be that bad paying a little bit extra.
If its a trend that a particular person is taking advantage of the equal split and orders the most expensive things etc. then you can just pay for your things but really dont add it the last dollar and cents. Always put in a little more and dont wait for the 50c change.
