In the short post, Peter shares a screenshot of a message exchange between himself and his friend Alex - all over a handful of fries he took from his pal's plate.

Alex wrote: "Hey!! I’m dividing up the dinner bill right now. You had some of my fries right??? Lol."

To which Peter responded: "Haha I think I had a couple, why[?]"

Alex answered: "Ok cool no worries lmao I’ll just [add] like 47 cents to your Venmo charge? If that’s cool."

In the message that followed, Alex proceeded to break down the amount that Peter owed him, writing: "So $23.83 total!!! Ur meal + tip + part of my meal that you ate. [sic]"
