My apartment throws BYOB parties. If someone didn’t bring any, we have people Venmo. The money goes to my roommate and then has her parents buy the liquor (doesn’t pay them back). AITA for thinking it’s weird she’s pocketing it??

It’s a dick move on her part but I mean c’est la vie. If her parents let her why not

nta, but if these aren't friends, i don't think she's ta either, it is a byob party. it incentivizes people to keep respecting that, and isn't really harmful

I mean I think it’s weird if her parents don’t know she’s getting this alc for other people and having them pay for it. Like if they just think it is for her. But if they know and are okay with it I don’t see why not. Sucks that you have to buy your own but sadly she’s a bit more lucky in the parent lottery in this instance I guess?

Yeah fair enough. I had to use my own money for liquor for the house previously. I just think for people giving us money, it’s deceiving
