Funny. But weird to expect people you just met to cover your cab money. Maybe they didn't want you to go with them anyway.

No need to be negative i was a cock block to the dudes or in a way they were for me. I don't focus my life on alcohol as some other people might.

To answer the question posed: I was wrong... for spending the time to read this thread. Two minutes of my time that I'll never retrieve.

To answer the question. You were. Even if the cab fare was the same amount in total with or without you, it's still shared between the passengers in the cab.
For business, it's different since you can expense it but socially, unless you've let them know in advance and they've okayed it, then you should expect to split the bill.

Always plan to split when going out with friends. That is even more clear when going out with people who you hardly know. And you certainly run a tight budget if the only cash you have remaining is the exact change required for the two buses. That's impressive.
Short answer, no, this guy who you just met was in the clear. I certainly wouldn't want someone who I just met freeloading off of me.

And if you have no money for the cab, how are you going to pay for your tab at the next bar?
Just saying.

OP, you have three choices:
1. don't go out if you can't afford the whole night (and your companions won't spot you a few bucks)
2. stop being poor
3. only use taxis that accepts FF miles

Seriously man. I hope they didn't do a bus fare hike April 1st or you're screwed. Who calls it that close anyways?
If you don't have $$$, don't go out!

Are you my sister?
Are you my sister?
Because she expects me to cover her all the time, because I am married and have 2 incomes and she can't hold a relationship together and is single.
Example:
Sister: Let's get mom present X for christmas and split the cost.
Me: OK
Sister: I think you should pay 2/3 and I should pay 1/3.
She has been coming to my house for the last few years for her "vacation" and expecting me to pay for everything because she is a guest in my house.
I don't invite her any more.
