Are you the type of person that'll get into a fight over who wants to pay the dinner bill? Maybe you feel awkward about it all? What if your friend offers to pay for you? Do you accept the first go, or do you convincingly say a few noes?

It might sound counter intuitive, but in certain cultures rejecting an offer is considered polite... But what happens if it's not rejected, but rather met with directness?

We chat about how Nazanin encountered that exact problem with her friend and she's very annoyed about it. Do you think she has a right to be? Or should she just accept that the Australian etiquette is different?
