Travel, Friends and Experience: Don't be an asshole

Don't be an asshole

By Anonymous - 11/03/2021 00:30

Today, the only person I know that ever traveled with me told me he doesn't enjoy the experience and thinks I'm an asshole, so I don't have a travel buddy any more. Every affordable trip requires two people. FML

Today, my mother told me that I could take a friend on vacation with us. Then she added that because I have no friends, my brother can bring his girlfriend instead. FML

Mama's boy

Today, I was asking my husband to help me finalize plans for our upcoming vacation. He, however, would rather pout and sulk because I don’t want him to bring his mom along. She’s been with us on our last few trips and it’s hard to get any alone time. I’m considering just going alone at this point. FML

Today, I told my boyfriend I wouldn't be able to get any time off work to go to Mexico with him, and that we'd have to get our tickets refunded, and reschedule. He said not to bother, and that he already had someone else in mind to take with him. FML

Gonna make things awkward

Today, while planning for our trip next spring, my friend told me that she's decided that her mom is coming with us. It’s non-negotiable. FML

Suspicious Minds

Today, my husband wants to go on a trip to Tulum with his friend. I suggested I go as well, but he refused because it’s a "friends trip." He assures me that he "won’t sleep in the same bed with her or anything." I had to explain why it was still inappropriate. He still doesn’t get it. FML

What's his problem?

Today, I was selected to go on a business trip for the first time in over a decade. I called my brother about it, who then proceeded to call into question every single aspect of the trip, affirming that his wife did everything different on her trips. I had to hang up before he had me questioning my own employment. FML

Today, my mom told me the night before our school trip that I’m not going so she could get a refund. Now I have to stay alone with my mom for a week, while my friends are having the time of their life in NYC. FML

Long haul

Today, I went on a roadtrip with my boyfriend and his best friend. What I thought was going to be a great, fun time ended up with me alone in a car with two large men who wouldn't stop farting for 14 hours. FML

Every affordable trip most definitely does not need 2 people. That's ridiculous.

It doesn't hurt to ask why they thought that. It doesn't mean you'll always be like that. Might even be that he was the bad one. Open up, don't close up

Don't worry. There's an industry that provides affordable travel for huge numbers of assholes. It's called a cruise. You can be with a literal boatload of assholes.

Everyone's an asshole. You, your friend, Trump, Piers Morgan... everyone.

As someone who prefers to travel alone, you very well may not be an asshole. I get super annoyed when I travel with people and end up not enjoying my time so to end myself disliking my trip and ruining my travel buddies trips, I'll let them know I'm going to continue on my own at no fault of their own and that I just prefer to travel solo. Usually they understand and we remain friends and even meet up throughout the rest of the journey for the odd adventure together. I just prefer my alone time. Although, if he's the only one that was willing to travel with you, that might be a sign. I agree with previous comments, ask why and then work to better yourself. A large amount of people don't even realize they're being an asshole so they need someone to tell them. Good luck!
