Booking a holiday with pals can be really tough as there are a lot of people to coordinate and a lot of factors to take into account. Everyone has a different budget and differing expectations for a holiday, so you can truly breathe a sigh of relief when you find something to suit everyone. However, then the drama of taking payment for everyone comes, and it can leave you feeling fatigued .
When one man's friendship group of 12 set out to book a holiday rental this summer, they were excited. However, some people didn't cough up their share, so he decided to downsize the place they were staying to not accommodate the non- payers . Taking to Reddit's 'Am I The A**hole' forum , he wrote: "Everyone was supposed to give me money so I could rent a huge house where we were going".
But of course, that didn't happen, and when he "tried to collect a few people paid immediately but some said they would give later" or "ignored" him. "The house we were originally going to rent got scooped up by someone else because I didn't put a deposit down", he explained - and some of his friends were mad at him for not putting his hand in his pocket. He shared: "I found another house with similar amenities but it would only sleep like eight.
I booked it. Since that was the money I had. "In the next weeks, the other four people said they were ready to pay.
I told them that the house we had looked at was gone. But we had rented a smaller house and we could get some inflatable mattresses or something for.
