I (28F) went out to dinner with my sister (25F) and a couple of friends last weekend. Nothing fancy, just a casual place, but it was pretty busy.
When the server came, I ordered something I’d been craving all week. My sister ordered something different, that is a dish I have ordered there and have said I liked, but she kept going back and forth while ordering and seemed unsure.
Food comes out, and almost immediately she goes, “Wait… I think I ordered the wrong thing.”
She tries a bite, makes a face, and then looks at my plate and goes, “Can we just switch?”
I said no, because I specifically ordered what I wanted and had been looking forward to it. I offered to let her try some, but I didn’t want to fully swap meals.
She got annoyed and said it’s “not a big deal” and that I was being difficult over something small. I said it might be small to her, but I ordered what I wanted and didn’t feel like giving it up because she changed her mind after the fact.
She kept pushing, saying she’d barely touched her food so it wasn’t like it was half eaten or anything. I still said no.
The table got kind of awkward after that, and she ended up picking at her meal and making comments about how she “should’ve known better than to expect people to be flexible.”
Later, she told me I embarrassed her and made a big deal out of something that could’ve been handled easily. I told her it wasn’t my responsibility to fix her order mistake. She said that if we had swapped we both would have enjoyed our meals, but since we didn’t only I enjoyed mine and she wasted her money.
Now a couple people we were with are saying I could’ve just switched to keep the peace, while others think she was out of line for expecting it.
AITA?
Edit: some people are curious 😂 I ordered creamy truffle mushroom pasta and she got spicy shrimp tacos!
