Entitled couple feuds with visiting friends after they disapprove of their accommodations: '[We] ended up booking a hotel and told the hosts we were staying there for the rest of the trip'

You can only crash on your friend's couch or spare air mattress for so long.

At a certain point, your back can only take so much discomfort. Yes, this one goes out to all the folks over 30 who not only discovered back pain but also figured out that sometimes staying at the cheapest hotel is better than taking over your friend's tiny living room. This can often be beneficial for both parties. For the guest, you just might get a bed of your own as well as some privacy. For the host, you get to take a break from having to be "on" at all times during your friend's visit. You also don't have to feel like your place is no longer your own.

Unfortunately for this author and her two friends, they were roped into staying with an entitled couple from their friend. These folks insisted that the visitors stay at their place, despite the fact that the three of them were more than happy to find a hotel somewhere. To make matters worse, this couple didn't even have remotely enough room for three friends to stay with them. You can guess how this conflict went down…

  • For the author and her two friends, who were also visiting,  gone were the days when the group was in college or in their early twenties. At that time, they would have been happy sleeping on the floor. Now that they have grown up a bit and are willing to spend enough of their own money during their vacation for basic comfort, things are, well, different. This story serves as yet another example of how some friends mature at different rates and need to learn the hard way that the needs and wants of their peers may be different from their own needs and wants now.
