Conflicting Situation

Jorge10 · #1 12-02-2005, 02:53 AM

The names have been changed to protect the innocent.

The situation is that "Joe" emailed me and all the other people from high school we used to hang out with(8 total)that he was planning a trip. He said the trip would be from the 17th-20th of december. The email also said that he would be reserving 2 rooms, for the 8 of us at circus circus. I emailed him saying I didnt like that place and that I would get my own room at another place.

Anyway I reserved my room last month and then suddenly "Bill" who chose to share in the expenses of my room said "dude he hasnt reserved his room." Anyway turns out he has not reserved his room and he is a super cheap ass. Out of the 8, theres "Joe" who has no room because he says he is broke and he planned the trip, 2 other friends who also have no room are cheap asses, 2 cancelled, and the other 4 reserved the room with me. Well those 3 friends are up in the air. So "Joe" told "Bill" "since you guys already have a room we can all stay there." That would be 7 in a room and I hate the idea and so does "Dude" who is also staying in the room, "Bill" doesnt care either way and I havent asked the 4th guy.

So the problem is, I look like a Jerk if I dont let them stay in the room, but I hate the idea of having 7 people in a room. So what can I do?

Train A will have traveled 432 miles as Train B is arriving in Chicago.

Wait, what?

Get friends who don't suck?

do the cheap people plan on compensating you for the room or are they just freeloading?

The 3 guys with no room can share a room. They don't need to reserve one, they can just get one at whatever [censored] place suits them.

I reserved a room for 4 people and 3 other friends who are cheap asses want to stay too, I dont want to be a jerk, but I cant think of how to say no, I tried to make it interesting by giving the whole story, sorry if its confusing.

Grow a sack and tell them to get their own room. If they don't like it, tough. And find some new friends.

I don't even really think this matters other than, if the 3 guys are planning on freeloading they can just stay home imo. If they aren't then splitting a room 3 ways shouldn't be a problem for them. If it is they should stay the [censored] out of vegas.

I assume they will try and freeload probably.

Jorge,

Let these people stay in this room. Make one of them put their credit card down upon arrival.

Get another room of your own. If you are kind enough to let someone else stay in it, that's your business.

Sincerely,

LFS
