A woman has turned to social media users for advice after she refused to refund her friend $600, claiming that her friend abandoned their group trip to be with her boyfriend and later discovered she had lied about the reason for her absence.
In a post on Reddit’s
“Am I the A——”
forum on February 5, the woman noted how her 19-year-old friend backed out of their 12-day group ski trip, due to a
“family emergency.”
However, the group later learned that she had actually gone on a beach vacation with her boyfriend instead. As a result, the woman is now unwilling to refund the friend $600 for her share of the group’s Airbnb rental, as reported by PEOPLE.
“In my friend group, we have a girl, let’s call her Sarah. Sarah comes from a comfortable family and was even one of the people who suggested the trip and was one of the leading forces to finding the Airbnb,”
she wrote. On the Thursday leading up to the Saturday trip, she mentioned that Sarah sent a text to the group with some bad news.
“She texted the group chat saying how she couldn’t go because she had a family emergency — said her grandma had gotten admitted to the hospital,”
the original poster [OP] wrote.
“We were obviously bummed but family comes first and I told her that I would send her the money back.”
During the ski trip, one of the woman’s friends checked a location-safety app and discovered that Sarah’s location was not at home but in a
“beach town.”
“We spend that night pissed and we call her out the next day where she admits everything. She had been last-minute invited on her boyfriend’s vacation and decided that she wanted to go to that instead but didn’t know how to tell us.”
“At the end of the day she’s a 19-year-old girl so I guess it’s just immaturity,”
she said.
“After finding out that she wouldn’t be getting that [$600] back she went insane and started calling me a bad friend and everything.”
