To be pissed off with lack of sense?

So a large group of us were going to a concert, it was from the local pub. I arranged the tickets and cabs to and from the pub.

We had five mini cabs with four people for each. Cars arrived people got into cars go to the venue. Dropping off was easy, when we got out it was chaos, of course 1000s all leaving at the same time. I had told each group to sort out with their driver where to pick them up. One group didn't and one girl from the group starts going into a strop, moaning that cabs should've realised it would be busy and got here earlier to wait blah blah. Maybe they should but it's not my fault they didn't, I merely arranged the cabs to take us and told them collection time,

Cabs arrive, the agreement is to take us back to local pub. This girl insists that's ridiculous and everyone needs to be dropped home, why hadn't I organised that? I explained I had no knowledge of who would get it what cab it was agreed that we would prepay to and from the pub and if she wanted a further trip she would need to pay directly.

Ridiculous as it is, I'm upset, I organised a great night out that people enjoyed. I made sure that it was cost reasonable bu negotiating with cab company for a large booking discount but for some reason one person thinks I've not done enough and should've ensured that cabs were on time and dropped her to her door (she was with her H and they live five mins walk from the pub). It was like the entire responsibility of the evening was 100% mins and she became unable to say, could you drop me home and I'll pay the extra for the extra stop (the other two on the cab were happy being dropped back at pub). Instead she refused to pay the extra and insisted that the driver drop her and the other couple to their doors! I got a call from the cab firm to say it wasn't what was agreed and I should really pay more.

Moral of the story don't arrange anything else to include her!

It put a real dampner on my night with her moaning at the end of the concert.

AIBU to feel pissed off?

Sorry the lack of sense but was I didn't know who would get in what cab so could not arrange multi drop offs.

I always find it bizarre when people on here discuss nights out like this.

Why can't people sort out an uber for themselves or whatever? Why does someone need to babysit everyone? This should be your lesson....let them sort themselves out next time. They sound like spoiled children.

There's always one isn't there 🙄

Don't give her anymore thought just concentrate on remembering the good parts of the evening and write her behaviour off as high maintenance OTT

In a week or months time you wanto be remembering the actual night out not one persons behaviour and the only way to do that is to choose which bits you're going to remember, right now.
