A Beach Trip Fell Into Chaos After Several Friends Abandoned The Itinerary, Then Accused The Remaining Group Of Treating Them Unfairly

Group vacations work best when everyone agrees on the plan, especially once half the crew decides they suddenly want something different.
One group heads to Virginia Beach for two days, but when four friends abandon the sand early, would you cut your swim short too?
Meanwhile, the beach crew keeps enjoying the water while everyone else waits indoors and starts pushing for an earlier departure.
See how one Wendy’s became the least relaxing part of a beach vacation.
AITA for having fun at a beach while my friends waited in a Wendy’s for 3 hours?
Me and 6 other friends went on a beach trip to Virginia Beach. The plan was to spend 2 days.
The first day everyone went to the beach and was satisfied.
But after that, part of the group decided to diverge from the original itinerary.
The second day, 4 people in the group were not trying to go on the sand. Instead, they wanted to walk around the city around the beach.
Me and 2 other people in the group wanted to go in the water. We brought the keys to the rental van with us since we were the only ones with licenses.
We had planned to leave the beach by 7 PM so 2 people in the non-beach-going group could go to work the next day, while allowing us to fulfill our rental van drop-off for 2:30 AM.
But this didn’t prevent everything from falling apart.
While me and my 2 friends were in the water, the non-beach-going group called us 5 times claiming that they wanted to leave early. (It was 4:57.)
We didn’t see the calls until we got out at 5:43.
They said they were so exhausted that they sat and waited in a Wendy’s for 3 hours.
Now everyone’s mad at each other.
Me and the beach-going friends still wanted to get food. So we got the food, and then we went to pick them up and go back home. (This was 7 on the dot.)
My friend is giving me the silent treatment.
AITA?
Funny how they became the villain just by sticking to the plan.
What did Reddit make of all this?
These friends really have no one but themselves to blame.
Their friends were more than capable of finding a more interesting way to kill time.
This certainly doesn’t sound like grown adult behavior.

This user concurs that it’s these friends’ own fault.
The group had already agreed to leave at 7, and the beach-going friends stuck to that schedule even after the others changed their minds.
The non-beach group spent hours at Wendy’s, then grew frustrated when their calls went unanswered while everyone else was still swimming.
Most commenters sided with OP, arguing the others could have walked over, found something nearby, or simply waited for the original departure time.
They went on a beach trip and somehow turned Wendy’s into the main destination.
