    Font - r/AmItheA u/yayabanana17 .. Posted by AITA for telling my friend to leave our Airbnb? Not the A-hole Me and my boyfriend (F20 and M20) rented a lakehouse Airbnb for this week and we invited some friends. There are 8 of us on this trip.
  • 03
    Font - Me and my boyfriend "Alex", "Kate" and her boyfriend "James" "Alyssa" and her boyfriend "Thomas" And two of our single friends "Lauren" and "Simon"
  • 04
    Font - The lakehouse has 4 bedrooms. Bedrooms #1, 2 and 3 have king beds and bedroom 4 has a bunkbed. We specifically got this airbnb because it made sense that the couples would sleep on the king beds and the two singles would get the bunkbed.
  • 05
    Font - Everyone drove up to the airbnb this morning. Me and my boyfriend were the last ones that got there because we stopped to get everybody some lunch. By the time we got there everyone had picked their rooms and unloaded their bags. The last room left was the bunkbed room.
  • 06
    Font - I stepped out into the living room where everyone was and asked why Lauren and Simon weren't sleeping in the bunkbed room. Lauren said "the king bed was more comfortable, me and simon don't wanna sleep on the bunkbed"
  • 07
    Font - I said "that's not really fair, the other couples all get a king bed, the bunkbed was specifically for you guys. So please just move your stuff." Lauren then said "No, we got here first so we got dibs."
  • 08
    Font - I then said "either you guys move into the bunkbed room or you guys can leave. Me and Alex are the ones that paid for the airbnb so at the end of the day, what we say goes."
  • 09
    Font - Lauren then got all mad, grabbed her stuff and left. Simon got up and said it wasn't a problem that he'd move into the bunkbed room.
  • 10
    Font - I got a text from Lauren just now saying that I was being a bi over a literal bunkbed. All of our other friends are on our side about this but idk am I the AH? I didn't mean to make Lauren upset but she was being so difficult.
  • 11
    Font - Edit: got a couple comments already about this, but the airbnb was completely paid for by me and alex. Everyone else was in charge of food, snacks, alcohol, and any activities we want to do. We didn't ask anyone to pay their share of the airbnb

  • 13
    Font - o IntentionalyLftBlank. Parta pant [1] ΝΤΑ your friend Lauren is inconsiderate...to a mind boggling degree. Even if everyone was paying an equal share, I think it would be common courtesy to offer the king sized bed to couples. I don't think that's a stretch. Calling dibs? What are we, 12 years old? EDIT: to add, also if someone has booked/arranged/coordi nated something FOR A GROUP it really is just the considerate thing to do, to offer a choice rgd sleeping arrangements

    Font - SnooPets8873 A Enthusiast [7] Personally, I get annoyed by the assumption that I'll make do with sleeping in bunk beds, the couch or even the floor just because I'm single. Why shouldn't I get a nice room too? But the solution to that is speaking up ahead of time and coming to an agreement with the group, not trying to strong arm things. ESH you all should have communicated better before booking about who would sleep where. You really shouldn't assume that people will be fine with getting

    Font - dart1126 Pooperintendant [65] ESH. Sleeping arrangements should have been discussed more thoroughly but it seems pretty reasonable to have assumed to some degree the couples get the larger beds. You were the last to arrive because you actually picked up lunch for everyone, so she's kind of cpy for the 'losers weepers' attitude. Your edit erroneously and needlessly (from your comments) indicated you paid for the Airbnb like a treat for everyone. That's inaccurate. You paid the lodging and

    Font - theas throwawa. Colo-rectal Surgeon [46] Info: Were your friends paying you back for their portion to stay in the Air bnb? Also did you explain the sleeping arrangements before hand?
  • 18
    Font - yayabanana17 OP. No, we all agreed that me and alex would pay for the airbnb and everyone else was in charge of buying groceries for the week and booze and stuff. We said in the groupchat that there were 3 king beds and a bunkbed and everyone assumed the couples would get the kingbeds
  • 19
    Font - Outrageously_Pengui n Supreme Court Ju... Were those other costs going to be about what you paid for the Airbnb in total? Or far less?
  • 20
    Font - yayabanana17 OP Yes we calculated everything and it evened out nicely. Everyone was on board with how we were splitting everything

    Font - blueavole Certified Proctologist [24] INFO- why wasn't this discussed before you arrived? 576 Share yayabanana17 OP. It actually was mentioned in the groupchat. We said that there were 3 king beds and a bunkbed and everyone replied with "sounds good" including Lauren. I guess we made the mistake in assuming but everyone thought she was okay with the bunkbed
  • 22
    Font - blueavole. Certified Proctolog... You probably should have been more specific that you expected the singles to take the bunkbeds. It sucks to get less because your friends are in relationships. I wouldn't say Y-t-a. I think she over reacted.

    Font - Bite_Me_16 Parta pant [4] NTA. Lauren sounds entitled as h and imo, I'd lose her as a friend real quick when the vacay is over because she just showed her true colors to you. You paid for the airbnb and while you were getting everyone lunch, she sniped a room from you even after agreeing to take the bunked beds room. It's even worse when ya'll consider that YOU. PAID. FOR. IT. Of COURSE you should get a regular room.

    Font - Sarcastic BarrelGuy. YTA. You did not pay for the trip, the trip was evenly paid off. You just happened to be the one who put the card down for the AirBnb, but we're otherwise an equal contributor. It would be the equivalent of having to eat scraps because you didn't pay for the food.
  • 25
    Font - Further, you went straight after the singles, while the couples were in the same position than Lauren and Simon. You just assumed that since they were single, they would have to bunk. Why, if they contributed equally, should they have to? What makes couples so special that they need a king size instead of 2 bunk beds?
  • 26
    Font - And above all, you phrased this as if you were being taken advantage of. You sound like a bully, and Lauren probably left not because of this one incident, but because of this being the cherry on the top.

    Font - thorn969 Parta pant [2] INFO: were your friends going to pay back for the Airbnb? If it was a trip you paid for and invited your friends along, you and bf should get the nicest room. Especially since you stopped alone to get lunch for everyone, people shouldn't have taken rooms without you. However, if the agreement was to split the Airbnb and you were just the one to put down the deposit, I don't think you really have the right to kick people out.

    Font - Michael-V Parta pant [2] YTA. Dibs is a firm law of the universe, and to defy it invites future disaster. But seriously: 1. you should have discussed the sleeping arrangements beforehand if it mattered that much 2. Since you didn't discuss sleeping arrangements, you snooze you lose, and you weren't happy with that

    Font - 3. Singles in a group of couples often have to deal with enough c being the perennial third- wheel tag-alongs everywhere the group goes, maybe they didn't want to be relegated to the kids' table, so to speak 4. I don't know them and their proclivities and preferences, but maybe your single friends wanted to, shall we say "take advantage" of sharing the king bed.
