A Malaysian man allegedly found himself in an awkward situation after his bank card was declined while he was dining with another woman — only to call his wife and ask her to transfer money for the meal.
The incident was shared by a Threads user who claimed to have witnessed the situation unfold at a restaurant.
According to the user, the man was having a meal with another woman when it was time to settle the bill, but his bank card was allegedly declined.
With the bill still unpaid, he reportedly called his wife and told her he did not have enough money to pay for his meal, asking her to transfer funds to him.
The Threads user claimed she was shocked to hear the conversation, particularly because the man was allegedly dining with another woman at the time.
The user later said the wife apparently did not know her husband was with another woman.
According to her account, the wife transferred the money after being told it was needed to pay for his meal and even asked him to send her the receipt as proof of the expense.
The woman dining with the man allegedly did not offer to pay after his card was declined.
The Threads user claimed that when she offered to settle the bill first, the other woman appeared to react as though the man was expected to foot the bill.
The situation reportedly dragged on for nearly 30 minutes before the bill was finally settled.
The incident has since sparked reactions online, with many questioning why the man would turn to his wife for money while allegedly taking another woman out for a meal.
Others expressed sympathy for the wife, particularly after learning that she allegedly had no idea who her husband was dining with and transferred the money believing it was simply for his own meal.
