Where you ever forced to treat people to lunch?

You have to learn to say NO and how to put people on their place. Don't dodge the situations and on the contrary nip things on its butt from the very start. If you don't do that then is how you become a victim of such nonsense harassment. Learn to chose your social circle as well as professional one.

My colleagues at work are always pressuring people to treat them. I find this very irritating. I don't like being forced to treat someone. So what if you got an incentive at work? You didn't have to treat them. What you got was hard-earned money. If they want to have food they should buy it themselves. If I were you I wouldn't have treated them.

I think its so rude when people do that. I always say so too. I'll occasionally buy a pack of biscuits or some cakes here and there, but I wont do that if people tell me to. I'm a firm believer in standing my ground and I will not be intimidated. Fair enough if you're all taking it in turns to pay for lunches, like rounds in a pub, but I wouldnt just do it because I was bullied into it.

Oh yes. It happened to me alot when I was in Singapore. I have group of friends and we are very close to each other. Actually we do not need to force each other to treat to eat or whatsoever. But it always happen that when a friend is with another friend which I am not familiar, then that friend of mine will silently force me to pay the bill for the other. It sounds rude but we even set that rule in our friendship. So what always happen is that, we you know that somebody is coming while you are at your table in a restaurant eating something, always watch out because if a friend comes by with 5 people with, then it will be a disaster.

yes it happen to me also.. it really depends on the situation in my case i promise my crush that i would treat her to a fastfood chain i don't know why i did that but my heart tells me that i should do it.. hehe.. i don't want to break my promise and her trust to me so i treated her. and i say we are very close after that date^^ weeeeee.....

Nope, not really. Only during my birthdays though. I know I would have to dole out some cash for the drinks or lunch, whatever the outing was. In your case though, I would really hate to do that since I don't have any obligation to be paying the person's food. Unless of course if I had an ulterior motive. Of course I am not saying that you had an ulterior motive, if I were in your shoes though, I would just say no bluntly

Yeah, they tried. Especially when I received bonus. But I have an automatic response when they asked ("Now way! In your dream!") and they're my friends so they know I don't want to. Plus, why should they? I don't like to be force but I am not stingy. From time to time I usually bring food to my workplace to eat with my friends. So it's better not to ask to pay up for anything as it never work.

yes, there are times when people tease me to treat them for lunch (or dinner) and i am forced to do so. however, when i accept the fact that i am paying, i just enjoy myself and eat to my heart's content. cheers and happy myLotting!
