I went to a friend's fantasy football draft and they made me pay for food.

Showed up to a buddy's draft party. I'm not in the league, just came to hang out. At the end of the night they're splitting the bill for pizza and wings and they add me to the total.
The full story
A guy from work invited me to his fantasy football draft. I don't play, but I know the guys and figured it'd be a good time. I get there, hang out for a few hours, have a couple slices of pizza and a few wings. At the end, the league commissioner pulls out his phone and starts Venmo requesting everyone for the food. I saw my name on the list. I didn't think I was supposed to chip in, felt like I was just a guest. It's not the money, it's the principle. Felt weird being charged to be there.
