Dinner Reservation Disaster: Am I the Jerk for Leaving My Friends?
A group of friends made a reservation for 6 people at a well-known restaurant, but when they arrived, one of the friends brought her boyfriend without telling them, making the total number 7.
The restaurant could not accommodate them, so the leader of the group turned to the author and requested them to leave so they’d have 6 people.
The author was amazed and called the group leader B***h. The next day, one more friend texted the author, calling them a**hole.
With so much confusion, the author turns to Reddit users for judgment. Was the author justified in calling out the group leader’s behavior or were they on the wrong side?
