The 7 worst types to go on vacation with
Cozy, on vacation with a friend. But be careful, because the true nature of the beast only really comes to light during a vacation. That being said, the worst types to go on vacation with.
1. The miser
A type that says your appetizer was more expensive than hers and you should pay €3.50 more. Or who was allowed to join for a low price in the house you rented and suddenly makes a fuss about the cleaning costs that are charged afterwards because you didn't mention it beforehand. Tip: make a pot where you both put the same amount in every day and pay for everything from that.
2. The scaredy-cat
She wants to be at Schiphol three hours in advance while you are just flying from Amsterdam to Ibiza. She checks seventeen times whether she has her passport with her and shuttles back and forth to the board where the gate is displayed. She keeps checking because, yes, what if it suddenly changes. On the plane, she hyperventilates because her seat doesn't have her lucky number, and she is already worried during the flight that her suitcase might get lost.
3. The chaotic one
She oversleeps on the day of departure, realizes at Schiphol that her passport is still in Roermond, has to make all sorts of important phone calls but doesn't have her charger with her, and at customs, she finds out that her entire toiletry bag is in her carry-on instead of in her suitcase and now she has to throw away all her expensive items. And that's just the beginning. On vacation, she puts diesel in the rental car's petrol tank, loses her wallet, and breaks your camera that she borrowed for a moment.
4. The borrower
With everything you take out of your suitcase, she says so enthusiastically ‘Oh, how nice’, that you can't help but say: ‘You can borrow it, you know.’ And then the traffic light turns green and she wears something of yours every day and there's no turning back.
5. The germophobe
Has her own pillow and towels with her. Asks you to turn the tap on and off for her, is afraid to swim, uses all your shampoo, and the dish soap is also empty every day.
6. The slowpoke
Not that you are from the pushy company, but around ten o'clock you want to be at breakfast and start the day a bit. She doesn't. She might get up around twelve or one and is still grumpy. Then she takes her time to get ready, and that takes another hour and a half. Tip: discuss that you apparently have different ideas about how to spend the day and do your own thing in the morning.
7. The ‘yes, please’ type
Nothing happens if you don't ask for anything. But if you offer to get some nice sandwiches, the answer is: ‘Yes, please.’ Just like when you suggest getting a drink at the bar. Or cooking, or doing the dishes. Type ‘yes, please’? No, thanks.
And remember: no matter how nice and wonderful your friends may be, a guest and a fish stay fresh for three days.
Amen.
