I want to have fun too, not be a chaperone! I don’t want to have to be stressed making sure you have your things, and I don’t want to hear you complaining about the things you forgot! “I didn’t pack a water bottle” “oh I’ll just use your stuff!” “Can you put this in your bag? I didn’t bring mine” and then having to literally watch them like children so they don’t run into things/people or act inappropriate when we go to other countries, or literally YELL indoors in countries where that is rude
As someone who has had to pull a blacked out friend out of the ocean in the middle of the night as the only sober one bc he wandered out of the hotel, you’re going to have to be very firm and just tell them straight up what you think. It isn’t just about you not having fun and them disrespecting you, it’s dangerous for your friends and the people around you.
(We are literally in Japan and almost got kicked out of a store bc they kept yelling) I feel awful for those around us. We are college students but the CHILDREN act better. Before yall say “oh they’re having fun” NO, their carelessness led to them walking into a busy street with their face in their phone!
We started to after realizing we both posted. We all decided to not help the friend out anymore. Mostly bc we help them but there’s never help FROM them. The others are still very much less responsible than me but atleast they try to be helpful ya know. Well the one friend didn’t bring water as we walked through a forest at near 95 degree weather (Fahrenheit). We gave them some so they wouldn’t die but they got a LONG lecture
They tried the whole “I’m just a baby” thing and I just yelled “you are NOT a baby, you are 20! YOU need to be responsible so WE don’t have to go without water!” Bc seriously they drank half the bottle that they were given. We told them we will not remind them to buy/pack water and we will not give any. This morning instead of hydrating with water they bought a coke. It’s 7AM
