In every friend group, there seems to be one person who just can’t get their act together.
They’re always late, they don’t have enough money, they’re generally just pretty annoying to deal with.
So, what’s a group of fellas supposed to do when they’re in another country on a trip and the deadbeat keeps screwing up?
Well, next time it happens to you, you might want to take a page out of these guys’ book!
Read on and find out what happened on their vacation.
AITA? We left our friend in another country.
“A couple years ago me and 3 other lads went on a holiday to Cyprus.
We all get along great and have done for 4 years while in university.
This one guy in our group, we’ll call him Ellis. He is the type of guy that says he’ll meet us at the train station at 8 am and at 8:30, we’ll give him a ring and he’s “just hopping in the shower and leaving”.
Ugh…
He’d be late for his own graduation/wedding/funeral.
So after 5 days of sunbathing, drinking, and eating good food it’s our final day. We’re all chilling in the villa and Ellis decides to go for a hike. No stress we have 7 hours to leave, he heads off and we say we’ll get all his stuff in the car ready to go, it was all packed anyways.
3 hours go by and we give Ellis a call saying he needs to turn back now, he says no problem and starts his journey back. He’s having a coffee at a cafe.
Dude…come on…
Another 2 hours go by, we call Ellis and he says he’s on his way back. He doesn’t sound like he’s moving. We check his location. He’s at a cafe like a three hour walk away.
It’s a Sunday, we don’t know any taxi ranks number or anything so we give him a call saying that he needs to get a lift back to the apartment or meet us at the airport.
“No worries lads, I’ll run back”
We try and plead for him to just get a taxi but he’s frugal and won’t get a taxi so we text him saying his suitcase is at the villa and we’ll have to leave as our taxi was booked at the last minute anyway. He says that’s fine I’ll make it back in time.
He doesn’t. He didn’t even try to make it back quickly.
Sorry, pal!
Three hours later we’re sat on the plane and we get a flurry of texts “I’m back now, where are you, when’s the taxi coming to pick me up”
We just had to say we got on the plane, and he needs to get the next one.
He was fuming. His parents and girlfriend kicked off at us, I can’t help but feel like he deserved it.”
