  • I (26M) recently went on a trip with a group of friends. We booked a nice hotel, and everyone was happy-until my friend Jenna (27F) decided that
  • her room had "bad energy." She said the moment she walked in, she felt off, like something was wrong.
  • At first, I thought maybe it smelled weird or had a bad view, but no―she said it was the "vibe." She even Googled the hotel to check if anything bad had happened there.

  • Then she asked if we could swap rooms because mine "felt lighter." I said no because I had already unpacked, and honestly, I didn't want to deal with moving just
  • because of her imaginary haunted-room theory. She got frustrated and said, "It's just a room! If it doesn't bother you, why not just switch?"

  • I told her if it was that bad, she could ask the hotel for another room. She actually did, but they were fully booked. So now she's
  • been cold toward me the whole trip, and a couple of our friends think I was being stubborn over "something that wouldn't have hurt me."

  • should've made arrangements herself (which she did and it didn't work out). Expecting you to disrupt your stay over
  • something so subjective is unreasonable. If your other friends think it's such a small deal they could have offered to switch instead.

  • tenaji9 If it had "bad vibes" why should you endure them?
  • Kitchen_Picture_2983 NTA. Making people do pointless or unreasonable things is a self- centred attempt at exerting control. This behaviour is also very common among unskilled managers.
  • By refusing her request, you rightly showed her that you were not going to be controlled by her.

  • On the other hand: if you had agreed to switch rooms, then you could expect to receive further unreasonable requests/demands - and
  • refusing those would lead to an even bigger b fit because you would had already set the expectation that you can be controlled.
  • No-Marsupial-4636 Why specifically your room. Let the others trade with her. And when you get home write her out your life because now you'll be the "bad vibe" Nta geez people s k these days.

  • Samwry NTA. Let me get this straight.... she thinks her room has negative energy. Why does she think it is OK for her to force YOU to sleep in a 'negative energy' environment?!? That is cruel.
  • I mean, if she truly believes the crop she is spouting, it makes her seem dastardly to inflict such a space on a friend.
  • Clarity4me She got mad because she didn't get her unreasonable way. She is selfish and entitled.
