re: Need a ruling over this bet.

quote:

Lunch was the bet and he received a lunch. Where do you draw the line on Person B spending anything? His very time that he took Person A to lunch was worth money. The gas to drive there, the tip...all of these things represent money that he spent to pay the debt. And all of it ended up with Person A getting their lunch.

Debt is cleared.

I disagree. If the bet was that the loser had to buy the winner lunch, I think the most objective reading of that requirement is that he has to buy the winner a meal. I said the tip could complicate things. Would be interesting to know if B tipped here.

GTFO with this weak shite. Your time may have value to you, but it doesn't to me. Your time doesn't pay the debt you owe me.

The gas to drive there

Also weak. We don't even know who drove. Sorry you spent a few cents in gas money, but you still have to buy me lunch like the bet stated.

The tip is more directly related to the purchase of the meal so I think that could complicate things. Compromise - you still owe me lunch but I'll pay the tip.
