Traveling with friends can deepen existing bonds, but it can also reveal cracks in the relationship you didn’t even realize were there.

When her best friend ends up bringing more emotional baggage than actual luggage on their trip, she concocted a very petty plan to get back at her.

Changed seats when I checked in for our flight

I’ve been on vacation/a crapshow with my best friend this week… and she’s been horrible to me, despite me paying for most of the trip.

She had all the best intentions for inviting her, but she now regrets doing so.

I’d offered to bring her along because I knew she was having a really tough time in several areas of her life and knew she could use a break — but I definitely learned a new grown-up lesson the hard way: leave messy people at home (unless you want them to bring their mess!).

Anyway, we leave tomorrow.

She felt as if the whole trip was ruined, so she was hungry for revenge.

The vacation I saved and paid for was trash.

The least I could do was to rebook her seats away from me so that she’s in the center seat, last row, right next to the bathroom on a longish flight.

She’s hoping the chaos teaches her friend a valuable lesson.

I pray she also has a couple screaming toddlers in her ear and, frankly, it’s gonna be a long time before I’m interested in seeing her again.

It’s not great revenge, but it’s definitely petty.

Her friend got the seat she earned!

What did Reddit make of all this?

This user has a helpful word of advice.

The plausible deniability of all this is the best part!

This commenter knows what it’s like to have a vacation go off the rails.

Friend vacations aren’t always as fun as they sound in the beginning.

A long flight in a bad seat was a small price to pay for all the chaos she’s caused.

It wasn’t perfect revenge, but it sure felt good.
