Dr. Pepper Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Almost jealous. It's still 85 degrees here. I actually turned on the A/C for a few minutes to level out the humidity in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a "too early" for Christmas decorations, though. Like, this week in October. Now this is just wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get on fine with most people, but there's always this feeling that I'm a friendly acquaintance that's peripheral to the friend group rather than actually a part of the friend group. I definitely don't think there's anything wrong with me, but it does sometimes make me a little sad how superficial all my connections are. Anyway, I hear where you're coming from. I'm feeling it REALLY BADLY right now actually... So...please guys tell me If I'm overreacting but...I'm in london for four nights with a group of my friends who happen to be two couples and the apartment my friend rented, knowing full well from the start I was going, only had two rooms with two double beds (which the couples are obviously going to use) and then...a sofa....I feel so upset and left out...I don't have my own room or my own space or anywhere to be private and just have a fucking SOFA. for FOUR NIGHTS...I'm so upset am I just being ridiculous...it's just...I paid the same amount and maybe I have no right to be upset as my friend organised the accomodation but...I'm just feeling so SO left out now...

I think it's rude of them to have not let you know this would be the circumstances when the trip as under discussion, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate feeling so childish and ungrateful I mean my friend booked this but she booked it 7 months in advance knowing full well for that full 7 months that I was definitely going to be going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure any reasonable person would make that assumption. It would be different if you were not a definite, or if you were a late addition, but if you were in from the start, they should have let you know. That said, while I think it's rude, I don't think it's necessarily inherently malicious or intentionally exclusionary..... Really hard to say on that part.

Not malicious just kinda unthoughtful ...like...now they've invited one of their friends (already don't like him, obnoxious and makes a sex joke three times every minute) to stay the night FOR FREE and he's gonna be on the camp bed and I think they're expecting him to stay in the living room next to me. FUCK. THAT. I don't know this dude I want at least SOME privacy...I already do t like him and it's fucking quarter to 2AM and I want to sleep but everyones in the living room listening to fuckin shit metal music.

Theda Baratheon Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Okay so all in all I had a fantastic time at the convention I attended with my friends but I'm still annoyed at the sleeping arrangements. Because not only did I pay the same as the rest of the group to get just a sofa instead of their whole room, I also had to share my SLEEPING SPACE with a total stranger (one of the couple's friends) who I couldn't stand. Made a sex joke every freaking minute and even told me (after I told him I was cosplaying as Tank Girl) that he used to regularly masturbate to her!!! ERG!!! WTF! !! That is NOT something you tell to a new person that you're going to be stuck sleeping in the same room as!!! I did not like him at all and feel sort of ticked off with my friends. I guess I have to stick up for myself more and say NEXT TIME WE ARE GETTING THERE ROOMS AND EXTRA FRIENDS WHO DO NOT PAY CAN SLEEP ON THE COUCH BY THEMSELVES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like such a simple and obvious thing for them to address going forward and something they should be more than willing to do, since it's clearly significantly impacted your experience, but is it possible that they just don't realize how uncomfortable this was for you?

It is possible because that's exactly what happened. They just didn't notice. I'm not that angry with them really.I had a good time just ranting.
