Fun Evening Gets Wrecked As Man Exchanges Words With Friends Who Brought 4 Dogs
When people gather in a group, it is critical that everyone understands what is going on and what to expect. This helps to avoid misunderstandings and disputes.
Clear communication ensures that everyone is on the same page. It's about being open and honest with one another and ensuring that everyone's voice is heard.
When communication is clear, everything runs smoothly, and everyone enjoys the experience. However, when communication is not sufficient, problems can arise quickly, as some people may feel excluded, puzzled, or frustrated.
The OP of today's story and his friends were looking forward to a nice outing at a brewery. The OP and his wife were the first to arrive, but they were met with a surprise.
The OP's friend had made an outdoor reservation, so the OP moved it indoors. However, things quickly changed when this friend came around with his three dogs. He asked why they were indoors when he made the reservation for outside.
He then proceeded to inform the OP that he had brought his three dogs, but the OP told him that he should have let everyone else know he was bringing his dogs. The gathering was divided, and some went outside, but the ambiance of the evening was wrecked.
Find out all that transpired as you read the full story below.
Here's the headline
More friends arrive as they wait and they are all led to their table
He said they were supposed to be sitting outside so it didn't matter
OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:
AITA for wanting to sit indoors? I might be the AH because I spoke for the group and went against what the reservation had. I also got into it a bit with the person who made the reservation over his dog.
The Reddit post went viral with more than a thousand comments and below are some of the most upvoted ones
The OP left them no choice and forced an issue
The OP changed someone else's reservation
There is some information that must be missing
The OP left this edit later on to further clarify things
The person who made the reservation volunteered, he did not plan the outing. It was more like in a group chat, hey anyone want to do this? People were interested, place was chosen, the guy that brought the dogs volunteered to do the reservation.
Not everyone is comfortable sitting and eating around dogs
The first one to show up grabs a table
The people with dogs should have cleared the air
The OP shouldn't have held the protest of staying inside
Some Redditors say that the whole group should have been informed about the outdoor arrangement so they could also bring their dogs or wear dog hair appropriate clothes. It would have also helped with the attendees sticking with the outdoor reservation if they’re the first one there or opt out of the dog friendly evening.
Either ways, the OP wasn't left out as some Redditors felt he went too far. In all, the story got an "everyone sucks" verdict.
