Couples holiday grief

[notmyrodeonotmymonkeys]

Please help mn I’m not sure what to do.

Couoles A B and C are going on holiday tomorrow. They are driving in in 2 cars. Couples A and B live in the same town so they are travelling together. Couple C are coming from a different direction and are travelling separately. The holiday has been split equally 3 ways and everyone intends to pay for themselves whilst there. Travel costs for petrol and parking will be approximately £120 per car. Couple A intended to pay for their costs as they know couple B earn significantly less than them (about 30k a year less) but would be happy if couple b get them a couple of drinks or similar.
Couple C have now approached Couple A and said they think it’s unfair Couple B are not paying for their travel expenses and that it would be fair to split it 3 ways. A pointed out that B do not have much money and C replied that they treat themselves plenty (which is true they are very much live for today). A feels uncomfortable broaching B for money especially at such late notice as it’s too late for them to make alternative arrangements should they want to.

Yabu B should pay their fair share
YANBU C is wrong to ask for shared costs

It’s absolutely nothing to do with C!

Couple C need to mind their business. A and B have made their own arrangements that work for them.

A+Bs travel costs are fuck all to do with C.

It’s up to each couple to decide how they get there. Couple A have decided to give Couple B a free lift. None of Couple C issue.

Would Couple C want the costs split if they lived a 10 min drive from the accommodation? I highly doubt it.

This exactly. How is it effecting them in any way?!

Couple C are being ridiculous.

Couple c are arseholes, and aren't friends of couple B

Couple C should mind their own business and not be so rude.

Would couples Cand A share driving and petrol costs if B were not going?

How does couple C know anything about A & Bs travel costs? It's bugger all to do with them!

Life is too short to go on holidays with other couples. Suck it up and don't do it again.

How strange of couple C, it's nothing to do with them! I would stick to the original plan.

^This.
Sounds like the start of a disastrous wonderful holiday to me!
Good luck, I think you’ll need it 😬😵‍💫

That’s bonkers. How A&B get there is nothing to do with C. They’re a pair of chancers.

Yeh. Not something I’d do. Too stressful.

Travel costs are seperate from holiday costs. You've agreed to split the holiday, how you get there, and who you offer a lift to, is your own choice and responsibility.

A/B and C are travelling in 2, separate cars so the car fees for A/B are nothing to do with C.

In saying that, I can't stand the judgement that people on better earnings, or supposed earnings, should be subsidising less wealthy people. When I was on a lower wage, I cut my cloth to suit and would have never expected hand outs.

It’s nothing to do with C. Tell them to mind their own business.

I agree, who told C? Would not need to come up in conversation.

Couple C are way out of order.

Gosh what on earth is wrong with some people. You read things like this and you think do people actually behave this way. For real.

of course irs nothing to do with c. Asking for money is all sorts of cringe.

This all sounds batshit. Why do couple C even know the arrangements? Tbh I wouldn't be going on a holiday with others if I couldn't afford to pay my way. Is everyone going to be keeping tabs and fretting about fivers?

Do Couple C mean the costs of travelling around while on holiday?

do couple B have a reputation for being CFers and couple C think A are being taken advantage of?

if it’s just the travel there and back then. Or really C’s business (or are they CF and expecting to have their travel costs subsidised?)

Oh this is not a good start! Each travel party sorts out their own costs and it’s nothing to do with the other.

Not a good start to be squabbling over what is probably a small part of the costs.
