Help! My friends don't want to 分裂（する） the 法案!

So, if a group of four friends go out, the worst thing that can happen is for someone to start 選ぶing at the 法案 and 説, "Your steak was £2.50 more expensive than my salad." 井戸／弁護士席, 堅い! If money is that tight, don't go out in the first place. If you're in a group of four, you just divide by four.

'Communication is 重要な. So, when ordering, 明らかにする: "Are we having two courses? Are we having three?"

'All this "井戸／弁護士席 I had this and you had that" nonsense is very irritating.'
