So we have a friend getting married this weekend in Florida. Great weekend trip... Not really... My cousin's fiance find a room that's $200 a person or so. Way too much. I find one that's $117 a person, splitting 4 ways. It's cheaper and just as nice, if not nicer. I get told go ahead and book it. Mind you this in in February.
Two weeks of complaining from my cousing being too good to sleep on a pull out sofa. Calling me cheap and the condo a roach motel. She finally gets a room elsewhere with another couple, paying like $400 or something. Whatever, her deal. Just an inconvenience to me because the rest of the party doesn't want to downgrade the room. Now it's like $150 a person, which isn't that much more, and no one had a problem with it until now.
Now, that it comes time to pay, $150 is too much, and I don't have time to change the reservations. I'm getting the full amount because this was put on my credit card.
Another inconvenience. My boyfriend and I were supposed to ride with his buddy and split gas to save on what we're spending. Great idea in February. Now, it's April and at first the buddy said he may have to work and can't stay the extra day. Now, it's I don't have to work, but I'm leaving early Friday because I don't feel like waiting for ya'll to get off work. (Well, really me because my boyfriend gets off at like 3 or 4, and I don't get off till 5.)
Well, two week ago I bought a brand new car with 50 miles. Currently it has about 199. I've driven the car like 3 times in the week and a half that I've really had it (the dealer kept the car for a few days detailing and installing running boards). I don't want to take my new car and putt 500-600 miles on it so soon.
I realize you get a car to drive, but I don't want to put the miles on it right now. I'm sorry.
My boyfriend's car needs a new CB axle and tires. He's known about it for months, but hasn't fixed it. He's known his buddy was going to more than likely bail on our ride for like 2 weeks. He hasn't fixed it because I'm driving.
NO.
I don't want to rent a car because that'll be like freaking $300 or more. My parents offered to give me $100-$150 for the rental, but that still means I'm paying a crap load for a weekend wedding trip that I wouldn't have gone on if it wasn't because of a wedding. Not to mention gas to fill up the car and any expenses while in Florida (food).
And, now, my cousin and her fiance' ask us to take the other couple because the girl can't get off until 5, and they were going to leave at 3:30 when she initially thought she was getting off. 2 hours is an inconvenience to them, bc they decided to leave at lunch now. You don't tell someone you're going to give them a ride, then bail on them. I'm in that situation now. Plus, don't be rude to me then as me a favor bc it would convenience you better. NO.
Now, I'm the bad guy for saying we won't give the other couple a ride. It's not the other couple, but they're the ones who are basically being punished. The problem is my cousin and her fiance run over everyone and for some reason everyone lets them. I'm tired of it. You can't be rude and ugly then expect people to give you everything. Although, it's happened all her life, you can't do it any more. Grow up
I don't even want to go anymore. If I rent a car I'll get harassed by his friends for buying a new car and not wanting to drive it. If I don't rent, my parents will huff and puff and get pissed at my boyfriend because he doesn't want to rent. And, to top it off I don't want to drive my car and put miles on it so soon. We're talking about going to FL in June; that's not a problem I would have had the car for a few months not a few days.
I'm fed up!:main_angry:

If it makes you feel any better, taking a long road trip like that is actually good for a new engine.
