A woman has sparked a massive online row after she sent her pal an invoice for 12 weeks’ worth of pizza totalling more than £300.
TikToker Lisa shared the story with her followers and couldn’t believe it when it racked up over 1.2 million views.
The 38-year-old administrative assistant often posts tales sent in by her fans, but says she never expected this one to blow up.

The woman at the centre of the cheesy bust-up had been footing the bill every Friday night for more than three months, when her mate and the mate’s boyfriend came round for pizza.
She didn’t mind paying – until the tables turned.
One weekend, the couple moved into a new flat and invited her over instead.
They ordered the pizzas, and the next day she got a message asking for £13.50 towards it.
Shocked, she checked her bank app and realised she’d already shelled out over £300 on their weekly pizza nights.

So she sent the £13.50, plus a tongue-in-cheek PDF invoice showing every pizza she’d paid for, totalling £324.
The friend wasn’t impressed, calling her “petty” and accusing her of ruining their friendship over food.
But the woman stood her ground, saying she didn’t care about the money, just the principle.

“This story came from a follower who was honestly shocked by her friend’s payment request,” Lisa, from Torbay, told What’s The Jam.
“She didn’t want to make a fuss, but also felt it was very cheeky after she worked out how much she had paid over the last 12 weeks.
“The invoice she sent back for the 12 weeks’ worth of pizza was meant to be a bit of a joke.
“And also a reminder that although she was happy to pay the £13.50 as requested, she had paid out a lot more in the past.
“She said the reaction from her friend has made her question their friendship, as if it were a case that her friend was tight on money or struggling, then all she would have had to do was talk to her about it, and she would have covered the pizza as she had always done.
“I personally think the PDF for the 12 weeks was warranted, but I would have chosen to have a conversation.
“And maybe mention that I had paid previously, but if she wanted to split going forward, then I would be more than happy.”
Lisa’s post was captioned: “Would you have the guts to do this after she covered the costs for so long?”
It’s since gone viral with over 45,000 likes and 1,500 comments, with the internet firmly taking sides.
One person said: “I would have just sent her the PDF and tell her to subtract her £13.50.”
Another added: “The nerve of her to send you the bill.”
One user said: “She’s not your friend, you’re her Friday dinner.”
Someone added: “You don’t need friends like that in your life.”
One person commented: “Sounds like a friend I’d be willing to lose.”
Another added: “You’re not wrong at all.”
