He asked me out to dinner and then we split the bill

I went on a second date with a man that I met on app. He is not quite my physical type but he has a great personality and is very successful. We have great banter. He asked me out to dinner and chose the restaurant.

The bill came and he didn’t grab it. Perhaps this is because he is European (British) and the bill / restaurant culture is a bit different there. It was obvious our server wanted us to leave. He finally glances and the bill and is taking time to look at it so I go “do you want to split?” He said no.
Moments later the waiter comes to us and hands him the machine to pay and he says out loud “oh I think they split it already.” He pays and then the server waits for me to pull out my card and pay. I was so taken aback. This man is in private equity with very impressive credentials and the financial difference between us is vast. I am so turned off that he did not say something to the waiter or just double tapped. My half of the bill was very expensive.
I felt my heart sank in that moment and all my excitement disappeared. I’m not entirely sure if this was a social brain fart on his end and I should give him more grace ?

A man splitting the bill or not being generous is the kiss of death to me. We haven’t spoken since (been 2 days) and he is traveling for work so maybe I’ll never hear or see him again but it was honestly so disappointing.

Hi there. I hired a cleaning lady with raving reviews to clean 3 extremely small rooms in my apartment including bathroom, kitchen and living room. She was done within 2 hours and I looked quickly and said things looked fine. I should not have looked quickly but I was in the middle of work / trusted she would have done a good job.

I closed out the service with a tip for my roommate to come out of the room and look at things a bit further and she did a horrible job. Our bathroom shower still had hairs on the wall, kitchen floor had crumbs, etc. I had asked her to come back- we agreed on a certain time, then she changed it for 4 hours later in the evening to come which was no problem. I was running errands away from my home and she told me she was 30 minutes away despite it being the original time that she changed.

I am overall unhappy with the service. I gave a generous tip I always support people that run their own business but this was an extremely lackluster experience for the price.

Is there anyway I can complain retroactively?

Update: she arrived and still did a terrible job. I told her the exact spots she missed and she still barely cleaned. The kitchen was still filled the crumbs after she left the second time. I then told her to please clean the shower again and the hair was still there
