On holiday and they’ve taken the key and won’t answer their phone

[User8182737484849]

On holiday with a family member. We don’t always see eye to eye, but I thought this trip might be a chance for a bit of a reset.

Today we decided to do different things.

Normally I’ve had the apartment key when we’ve gone out together, but I asked them to pop it in the key safe this time. For whatever reason, they didn’t — and with their phone switched off I can’t get hold of them.

I’m making the best of it with a quiet day to myself, but I can’t help feeling a bit upset. It’s left me feeling quite stuck, literally and figuratively. I can’t leave the apartment! I’d never want to make someone else feel like that.

Any advice on how to handle the rest of the trip without letting this sour everything?

So this is petty revenge then?

Slow news day.

So you knew she might want to go out and took the key so she couldn't go out??

You'd get it from the key safe that she's happy to use.

You'd get the key out of the key safe where she left it.

So threads on Mumsnet aren’t for entertainment! Ok silly me.

Back to reading war and peace for me

What a horrible, controlling, totally fxxked up thing to do to someone.

In your place OP, i would pack a bag, book in somewhere else and never travel with such an arsehole again.

😂

Oh, ignore the party poopers. Carry on laughing.

This.

Taking the key just a dick move.

OP I'd get money and stuff together and go out till evening.

I’d contact owner and ask for second key. Also assuming you are somewhere safe I’d just go out have a nice day, take a book in case you need to while away a bit of time before they return. I’d say going forward the person with most flex to their plans gets the key so if you are pottering you have it if out on a day trip then them.

You two are clearly far too young to travel without adult supervision

Also, why would you put your luggage on the conveyor belt when you're still faffing about putting stuff inside and attaching a luggage label? Wouldn't it make sense to find somewhere out of the way to sort your bag out and then put it on the conveyor belt when it is actually ready?

I wonder if there was a queue of people behind you looking on, thinking, "Take your time, love, it's not as if any of us have got a plane to catch."

Agree with this. It made more sense for the person who'd be closest to the apartment to have the key so they could go out and back as they pleased. If you're on a day trip you've no need of it anyway and could just have let them know what time you'd be back. This was a very selfish move on your part and I can see why she's annoyed. Wanting to stay around the apartment didn't mean she won't change her mind or may decide to take herself out for lunch or for a walk etc.

@Thefastandthecurious5

Your behaviour is petty and spiteful.

no wonder your sister prefers to spend time in the apartment away from you

Why oh why did you go on holiday with them????

No idea.

You might want to start a separate thread with your question.

This thread has nothing to do with men.

I agree

Put door on latch and go out. Take your valuables just in case

Well it’s certainly a trope that it’s kids but I reckon it’s adults with nothing else to do.

I agree. I don’t think kids bother with mumsnet

but bored adults yes

Could be the teachers lol 😂

Yep, men-hating teachers!

oh so NOW that one of you not being in might cause a problem - that may affect you - has occured to you, it's an issue.
