A young woman has revealed a friend who offered to buy a round of ‘free shots’ during a night out messaged her the next day asking to be paid back. 

Brisbane Uber driver Evan Courtney, who frequently posts footage of his car seat confessions on TikTok, has shared a conversation he had with a female passenger during a trip on Monday night. 

The young woman detailed how she was left shocked after her friend shouted the group drinks while they were clubbing but later messaged everyone – including the birthday girl – asking them to reimburse her. 

‘One of the girls I was talking to was like “I’m actually buying free shots for everyone”,’ the woman said.

‘I was like “free shot? Sure, I’ll get one”.’ 

‘And then the next morning she texted me being like “Hey I don’t want to be that annoying person but can you pay me back for that one shot I bought you”, and I was like “Are you serious?”

Shocked by the bizarre request, Ethan responds from the driver seat: ‘What the f**k.’

The woman says she thought the situation was ‘so f***ed’ and there was no way she would be coughing up the funds.

‘She even asked the birthday girl to transfer her money,’ the woman said.

‘And I was like “What? It’s her birthday.”‘

Should you ask for your money back if you shouted someone something?

Ethan then asks the woman if the cash retriever has individually messaged everyone she had purchased a shot. 

‘No, she made a group chat for all of the people she bought drinks for,’ she replies.

‘Wow!’ Ethan says, taken aback.

‘How weird is that!’ The woman responds. 

The clip quickly went viral, racking up more than 106,000 reactions, with many social media users agreeing the demand was inappropriate and labelling it ’embarrassing’. 

‘Don’t offer to buy people something just to ask for that money or product back, it’s not how it works,’ one woman wrote.

The woman claimed a friend offered to buy everyone drinks before asking to be reimbursed the following morning

Another added: ‘She was probably really drunk when she offered to buy everyone shots then realised in the morning.’

‘Making the birthday person pay for the shot is low if you offered,’ a third said.  

Several people said they had been in the same awkward situation with one of their friends.

One woman said she was blindsided when she was asked to pay back a shot, but she thought it was fair after the drinks turned out to be $15 each.

Another said a friend showed up on her doorstep asking to be paid for a single drink, despite her previously shouting her friend rounds without saying a word. 

Others said they had some more extreme run-ins with cash-conscious friends.

‘I had a mate keep an excel spreadsheet over two years worth of buying us coffee that he’d offered to buy us,’ one man said.

‘I had a friend that bought me stuff even when I didn’t want it and then had the audacity to make me pay him back,’ another wrote. 

‘A girl I worked with made me transfer $1 for a frozen coke,’ a third said.
