It never feels good to hear friends making plans that you're not invited to, and it's hard to know what to do in that situation. Do you speak up and try and get yourself invited? Or do you slink back and pretend that you can't hear the conversation?

This friend, "Jessica," chose the former and got herself a (reluctant) invitation to the trip by "publicly shaming" her mutual friend that was planning the trip. Information was shared regarding the cost and the itinerary of the trip, but things started to go sour as soon as the trip started.

"Things started to go south the moment she arrived here," the friend writes of Jessica in a story posted to Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit. The friend continues that Jessica caused multiple issues and dramas: demanding to be picked up from the airport at a different time and complaining about costs that had already been communicated. Things escalated and culminated with Jessica being kicked out of the house.

That's where the original thread wraps, with the friend, Redditor u/LucyAriaRose, wondering if she was in the wrong for her part in the confrontation.

The friend then returned with an update to share what had happened since their original post, detailing their near reconciliation, which fell apart when their offer to reimburse Jessica for their accommodation was taken advantage of.
