Yeah they didn’t want to pay because you offered to pay when you said you “were feeling nice today.”

English is so complicated. I’ll remember this advice every time someone says they’re feeling nice today. Thank you

Is it really an English thing? I feel like that’s the only logical interpretation of “I’m feeling nice today” in that context. What did you think he meant before reading my comment?

There are two things here that imply that the askee is paying, the ‘i feel nice’,and the ‘i got you’

I thought they meant they will be nice and order him pizza instead of doing it themselves. Like at a restaurant when people order food. I think it would be strange if someone asked me to order them something then get mad I didn’t also pay for them.
