  1. Mae always handled the split.
    Mae was the friend who tapped first and did the math later.
    I will send the request.
  2. The request was rounded up.
    Harper paid the rounded amount because it seemed easier than asking.
    Close enough, I guess.
  3. Then it happened again.
    Every shared cost seemed to round the same direction.
    Rounding keeps it simple.
  4. Harper did the math.
    One round-up felt silly to mention. A whole list of them did not.
    Why is it never rounded down?
  5. Mae had a list.
    Mae had written the rounded differences down, which made the habit feel less accidental.
    You were tracking this?
    Only so I knew the totals.
  6. Mae said it was convenience.
    Mae said she was the one paying first, sending requests, and keeping the group moving.
    It is barely anything.
  7. The group split fast.
    Some friends said exact cents are annoying. Others said the same person should not always win the rounding.
    Simple math should still be fair.
  8. What should Harper pick?
    Mae sees a convenience benefit. Harper sees a pattern that always helped Mae.
    Where do you stand?
