22-year-old demands friends pay $25 to go to her birthday party, gets upset when they refuse: ‘If I’m being stupid, call me out on it’
Birthdays are for celebrating, not recouping costs. Another year of life is a great reason to party, but unfortunately, plenty of parties are not without their dramas.
