Friend picking on me on holiday and I snapped

Book a couple of excursions by yourself and do lots of solo activities like sunbathing, swimming, meals etc. Then block and dump her after you return home.

Report her for harrasment to the UK police. Uk Citizens who commit a crime anywhere can be prosecuted back home. It was initially to nab pedo’s abusing kids in poorer countries.

Holidays really can make or break friendships.

In last few years I’ve been away with 4 different friends. 3 of them I had brilliant holidays with and have gone away several times. 1 we’ve barely had any contact since we had a week away in Greece. She wasn’t a bitch like your friend but she was so flaky, we made plans to do certain things then when I came to a few minutes before, she claimed not to remember discussing it - several times not just once, we missed the coach to go on a day trip due to her faffing about and by the last day I just laid round pool with headphones in and she sat in shade chatting to her adult children on the phone for hours. Even when I asked if she could look after my bag while I used the courtesy shower room she said are couldn’t as she wanted to go for a walk - when she’d sat in the same chair not moving for the last 4 or so hours but couldn’t wait another 15 minutes so I could shower!

The flight home we barely spoke and despite us driving there together and me agreeing to drop her home, she ‘forgot’ to mention her daughter was picking her up at Stansted.

There were a few other things that caused us issues and she would probably tell things differently but safe to say it ruined our friendship.

Next time before booking a holiday with a friend, ask yourself, is she a total bitch, if the answer is yes, don’t. In this case, video her the next chance you get. When she objects say I need a video of you to post if you share another one of me, the group will wonder why I’m not sharing updates of you so I’ll use this.
Say it calmly and flatly.

At the moment I’m getting XFactor vibes of those two friends that went on to the stage singing and one slapped the other for being rude!

Im going to be honest here as an adult woman, she is NOT a friend. Ignore for the rest of the holiday in my opinion, separate yourself, fly home - and leave her in your past. The fact that’s she’s making you feel so uncomfortable is disgusting. You sound like you’re worth 100 times more than she is. 🤍

This is such an interesting read. I also fell out with a friend while on a holiday she invited herself to.

your friend sounds quite bitter. I’m sorry you’re wasting holiday time being put down like this. I absolutely would NOT tolerate that. I know it’s difficult to stand up for yourself specially when the vitriol is coming from a friend. .. but we gotta do it!

She sounds like a right arsehole. YANBU

Why are you friends with that sack of shit. If this thread is genuine. It baffles me to the amount of ‘shit’ women tolerate as normal. She’s not your friend.

Oh stop it. Such a predictable shitty comment.

I would video her back tbh and put it in the group chat

Wow - she's really showing you who she is!
Sorry OP horrible to find out this way on holiday - you're definitely not the first though.

This may have been mentioned I don't know but I'd have snapped AND farted with the stress of it all.
*Farted is a nod to another thread in case you wondered.

Well done OP!

now…
-video her and send it to group chat (ahh but the memories, you did it so it’s ok for me to, stop being so SENSITIVE Glenda’)
-get headphones and ignore her. Every now and again take them out -‘Sorry, are you still talking about your relatives? Ah ok’
-show her this thread. FUCK OFF, GLENDA YOU TWAT!

Why are you accusing the OP of being childish?

What is she supposed to do about the way she's being treated?

Can you go on trips without her?

Find somewhere else for dinner?

And the next time she videos you, ignore her and either video back or go over and tell her to just fucking stop it!

I don't suppose the video of you dancing is as embarrassing as you think. I think I would film her now doing something and would reply to the group chat on the lines of "I thought we both agreed that we didn't want videos of ourselves posting, but as I see this isn't actually the case, I'll share this one of you dancing/swimming too." Then I would just grey rock her for the rest of the holiday.

How old are you both?

She sounds like a crashing bore, and an insecure one to boot - perhaps she's feeling self conscious and is putting you down to make herself feel better.

Ignore her, it's her issue, not yours.

I get on really well with my friend on holiday but then she's not a bitch!

Sadly, yours is.

People like your friend are usually discombobulated if you just agree with everything they say. They don't know how to handle it.

'That woman over there is looking at you'.

'I know! Perhaps she likes my top!'

Have you come for a funeral?'

'I know! I just love black clothes!'

'But they don't suit you.'

'I know! Mad, isn't it?!'

Etc, etc. She'll soon get bored once she realises she can't wind you up.

Get some massive headphones. Even if fake. Wear them at all times you're alone with her.

Then ditch her once home.

Some friend
Could she be jealous of you in some way?
Odd behaviour

Your friend is a cow - i would try to avoid her on the holiday and re-evaluate the friendship with her...if you all belong to a group, i would be telling the group why. I would take pictures and videos of her and post in on the group - but then again im petty 😂

She sounds awful. You did the right thing. She isn’t someone to go on holiday with. She sounds mean as hell

I think this kind of thing happens because you're used to spending short periods of time with someone, not extended time together 24/7. Also, some people are uncomfortable with silence, so feel compelled to prattle on.
My best friends are ones I can be with in comfortable silence & not feel the need to talk constantly.

I'm wondering if she is jealous of you- she's trying to undermine your confidence in order to boost her own. She sounds absolutely horrible. Try to ignore her as much as possible, enjoy the sunshine and drop her after the holiday. She is not worth your friendship.
