“Meanwhile, I’m sitting here with $1200 dollars on my credit card for a trip that is supposed to happen in 10 days. I agreed to spend $240. Not $1200. I am not the group’s credit card. I am not a bank. I did not volunteer to front a thousand dollars for people who can’t be bothered to open a payment app.”
“I sent one final message in the group chat. I said, ‘Hey, I need everyone’s share by tomorrow night, or I’m canceling the booking and getting my refund.’ Two people said, ‘Okay, okay,’ and one person said, ‘You’re being so dramatic, it’s not like we’re not going to pay you.’ Tomorrow night came. One person sent their share. One. Out of four.”
