justme222 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Five guys rented a hotel room and we're going to split equally. The friend of one of the guys (a lady) got stranded and called her friend and he asked her to come over. The other 4 guys all agreed as well. Since the room was full already, she had to sleep on the floor. Is it fair for the guys to want to split the bill equally with her? Should she pay at all? Is it okay if she pays but offers half of what the others are paying? Thoughts Link to comment
ThatwasThen Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 She should split equally with the guys. Otherwise she's going to get the impression in life that she can go through life relying on men to pay her way. Don't enable that or she will start to believe that she's entitled. Why was she "stranded?" Link to comment
itsallgrand Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 If I was the lady, I'd pay my share. She got the roof over her head, plus all those guys had to watch their Ps and Qs with her around. No waking up in undies. ha. Link to comment
Blue_Skirt Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I never ended up in a situation where I had to spend a night with 5 guys in a hotel room, but that’s another discussion. She should pay her share, the bill should be split equally. Link to comment
dias Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I think she should pay a little bit less since she slept on the floor Link to comment
melancholy123 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I think she should not have to pay anything towards the room since she had to sleep on the floor. If she bought some coffees and pastries for breakfast for everyone that'd be nice. 1/5 of a hotel room cost should not be all that much anyway unless you are staying at the Hilton! Link to comment
ThatwasThen Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 She'd pay nothing in a shelter. Ha! Link to comment
j.man Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 The share should then be split six ways. It's up to her friend if he wants to pay her share for her. She can visit a shelter for free or pay for her own room if she's not keen on the new split. It's not just her being an extra body. She also changed the dynamic from what was previously all guys.

journeynow Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 She should pitch in on the cost, and that she gets the floor is fine since she was last minute, unplanned, and all the single beds were taken. She shared the space and bath, the others didn't get it for free, and it impacted everyone's stay to some extent, so yes, she can share the cost. How much is fair? It would be nice of her to pay an equal share, even though she got the floor, because she was an unplanned latecomer. If she was part of the original plan and volunteered for the floor, then fine paying less. Link to comment
catfeeder Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The guy who invited her should pay her share, and if he wants to true that up with her afterward by letting her pay for his breakfast, that's between them. This way, the other guys get a price break for having the dynamic of their stay changed last minute, hero guy gets to be the hero, and whutsurname gets to repay the hero guy. Link to comment
