This is the second year in a row that a particular friend of mine has backed out of a planned group trip at the last minute. I'm supremely pissed because I only agreed to go because I did the cost breakdown for the room based on the number of people I was told were going and decided that I could afford to swing it! But now I'm fucked because it's going to cost me more than I had planned and I can't pull out because I've already bought my transportation and tickets to the event and they're non-refundable.

I wouldn't be mad if this was a one-off because hey, life happens! Another friend had to cancel because his dad ended up needing unexpected surgery and he had to be around to help out since there was no one else who could do it. That's fine! I wouldn't complain about having to eat the extra cost for something like that. But this is the second time this has happened and it's NOT an emergency, and I'm fucking pissed. Don't commit to going to something if you're going to be wishy-washy and back out at the last second! I mean, hell, I told my friends up front when they were planning the trip that I wasn't sure whether or not I would be able to attend, but that I would appreciate if they kept a space open for me in their considerations. If they had said they couldn't do that, that would have been fine since I wasn't able to commit. But I didn't say I was going to go and then turn around and go "LOL actually."

The irony is that she said she couldn't go and then ended it with "but I'm coming next year for sure, tee hee!" Yeah, no, fuck off. I'm going to recommend to my friends that we just not invite her next time, because seriously, what the fuck.

Ugh, that sounds infuriating. If you're not able to back out/transfer your tickets, then I hope you guys have an amazing time without that friend.

[(Anonymous)]

Either that or she pays her share upfront, non-refundable regardless of whether or not she changes her mind. Flaking twice and letting other people bear the increased cost is a real jerk move.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I'm mainly mad at how she seems to have zero awareness of how her flakiness affects other people. My friend who was organizing the rooms for the trip asked multiple times who was going to be coming so she knew how many rooms to book and said friend responded every time. We probably could have cut down one whole room and just squeezed another person into each room if we'd known she wasn't going to be coming, but it's too late to cancel it without a penalty now so we might as well just keep it and let everyone have more space.

Meanwhile, I didn't say for sure that I was coming until just a few weeks ago because I didn't want to be that person who promised they were going to be there and then flaked out!

I mean... does she truly not know, or does she just not care? Don't underestimate how many people are cool with screwing over their friends and family so long as they convince themselves it's no big deal, they didn't mean it, blah blah blah.

[(Anonymous)]

Fuck that friend and I'd tell her exactly why she's not welcome next year.

[(Anonymous)]

Fuck her to hell. This is so vile. I had version of her behavior when I was younger and it was shitty of me. (Once I ditched friend's wedding. But it was weird situation all around so well. What's done) But never around trips! You don't do it after days and days of planning and money managing.

Is there any chance to invite someone else instead?
