Difficult traveling partners
Bg: we’re a group of 4 adults in our late 20s who are friend for 10 years or more!
We often travel together to Malaysia for a one day trip or 2D1N. We have a fix driver, a female who enjoys driving and a back up driver.
The driver have a brother who is 4 years her senior. We know her brother (B) but is not close with him.
Anyways we decided on a 2D1N trip to Melaka and B decided to join us since he have to clear leave. Our driver was quite hesitant but it still happened.
When the trip started, we understand Why.
Her brother is the kind if super spoiled child. And worst, the kind that didn’t went through army training (managed to siam with doctor letter of an old injury + some acting)! Anyways, don’t know the details.
Also not saying all males that didn’t went through army is as spoiled as him!!
Back to story, he is very temperamental like something random can trigger him. We booked a AirBNB with 2 rooms. One of which have a 2 bunk beds.
Being the only 2 females, we are allocated the room with a queen size bed. The guys sleep in the room with bunk beds.
B went all quiet about the decision but he probably think it’s too ‘unmanly’ to snatch the room from 2 females. Especially with all the other guys agreeing.
The next morning, he kept asking for Teh but there’s none at the place we took breakfast and we drove to another cafe to let him have his Teh but then the cafe was closed. We suggested Starbubks or Coffee Bean but he say they’re expensive and not as nice. In the end we decided to go to the souvenir shop first then try to find Teh for him. But his face black already.
Later it was his one man show – showing how a man baby is like! Basically kept throwing unpopular and insulting ‘jokes’ whenever we tried to get him involved in our conversations and whenever we try to lift up the mood.
We thought it’s just a one time off incident that it could be a bad/tiring day for him bt we quickly know it’s always! And his tantrums just get worst – TV volume turn ip to 20+ When 13 is loud enough, not eating etc.
On the night of our last day, he sort of argued with his sister and then refused to help pack the luggage. In the end we all help him pack just to leave on time as planned.
Now we are planning another shot trip and he wants to join us too. Wondering how to turn him down without my friend kena sia…
