I am FUMING!!!!

OK. I'm going to try & simplify this:

People involved:

Friends Eric, Chris & Vicki booking triple occupancy

Cousin/Friend Angela booking single

Vicki sent me an email yesterday saying that she has to cancel because of medical problems - disappointed...but fine - we knew there was a chance she was going to have to cancel when she booked. Bladder issues have been ongoing for ages.

Chris & Angela recently hooked up & became some what of a long distance item. Now Chris is moving into Angela's room which leaves Eric shit out of luck! Eric cannot afford to pay for single so now he cannot go.

I can't believe Chris is such as asshole!! I am so mad right now!! Eric is my closest friend out of two of them AND he was supposed to be my photographer!! am I supposed to do now?? This bites!!

I think I'm going to email Chris and tell him (probably in a nicer way) the way I feel. But then I don't want Angela to be pissed at me either.

I'm so mad right now!!

I think that if Angela was originally paying for a single, then she should incur the cost of a single. Chris should not make Erik pay the entire cost of a single since he decided to rearrange rooms. Do you know anyone else that can take his place?

I was about to say the same thing...if they are going to make Erik have to pay for a single room just because they want to share a room now...Erik should not feel like he cant go now so i would suggest talking to the two that are dating now (or whichever of the two you are most comfortable with) and let them know how Erik feels and that he doesnt want to go now...and let them know that they are to help him pay the difference since its their fault this is all happening....

Well that sucks. But could you ask all 3 of them to add all the costs together and then divide by 3 so that everyone pays the same price?

I agree, and I would say the same thing to my guest if this were the case. You can't change last min, and expect the other person to pay for your choice..

I like Stacey's idea.

This happened to us as well. Jeff and Jeremy were sharing a room. Jeremy got a gf in the process and ditched Jeff to room with gf. Jeff then couldn't afford to go. So, we mad dashed called friend steve that couldnt afford to go single so he went with Jeff problem solved......

Do you think there is someone else that is single that couldnt go because they couldn't afford it?

I originally thought that Chris (being the ASSHOLE!) should have to pay Eric the extra money that he would incur. But I also like the idea of all three of them sharing!! Thanks Stacey!! I will suggest that!

Oh wow! Now that takes the cake. No gray area for me here. That is just plain f*ed up!

well if Eric is going to be your photographer, could you pay the single supplement (i.e. difference between double rate and single rate) for him? It is usualy a few hundred dollars I think. Not that bad if you are getting photography out of the deal.
