'I thought you were covering it since you picked it up': Coworker claims to accidentally order two lunches, eats both then expects colleague to pay

Eating lunch with coworkers can be hit or miss. At my old job, our boss highly encouraged us to eat together every Tuesday, even reserving the basement conference room like that was some kind of thrilling incentive.

That's just basic etiquette, right?

Well, apparently not for one office worker who got put in an awkward situation when a coworker "accidentally" ordered two meals and then casually assumed someone else would cover it.
