Her Friend Had A Meltdown In A Train Station On Their Vacation, So After She Told Her She Never Wants To Go On A Trip With Her Again, Her Friend Got Angry With Her
Have you ever gone on vacation with someone and realized you never want to travel with them again?
This recently happened to one woman who went on a city trip with her friend, who was extremely unorganized and made the trip chaotic.
She and her friend Ashley are both in their 30s. She’s known Ashley since they were 13. Although they started to drift apart during high school, they always stayed close.
Ashley is disabled as she has fibromyalgia. However, it hasn’t stopped her from wanting to travel and explore new places.
Ashley had an idea to take a vacation with her to a major city and stay there for three days. The trip was left up to Ashley and was planned a year in advance.
Unfortunately, the trip didn’t go as she had hoped.
“The actual vacation was okay, but I found being around Ashley stressful,” she said.
“She was extremely overpacked and was always complaining about how heavy her bags are. She insisted on going for long walks through the city but then would get tired and say we needed to get a taxi home, as she can’t walk back.”
She was able to grin and bear those smaller, frustrating moments. But then, she really lost it when Ashley had a meltdown at the train station when it was time to go home.

When they got to the station where Ashley would be taking a different train home, she asked a staff member if she could use one of their wheelchairs to get to her platform because she was struggling to walk.
The staff member told Ashley all of their wheelchairs were being used. Then, they asked her if she had booked their handicap assistance in advance, and she said she didn’t. When the staff told Ashley a wheelchair would be available in about an hour, she lost it.
“Ashley lost her cool and yelled at them and said that she’s going to miss her train,” she recalled.
“[Then] she sat on the floor. I tried to calm her down, but there was just no use. She was very insulting and called them names. It was so embarrassing.”
She stayed with Ashley until someone was able to bring her a chair, then watched her leave, scarred from what had just happened.
“Two days after we got home, Ashley asked me if I’d be down for a similar vacation next year,” she added.
“I told her no thanks. I tried to explain to her that I think after our experience, it’s better if we don’t vacation together.”
Ashley became furious when she turned her down and called her an ableist. However, the truth is that she doesn’t want to vacation with Ashley again because she’s an unorganized traveler.
Was she being rude by saying she didn’t want to go on another trip with Ashley?
