    You seagulls seem to have a lot of experience in dealing with lolcondrama, so maybe you guys can give me some advice as to what to do here.

    I have a friend A, who takes care of booking rooms for us at a con we go to every year. A works with another girl named T, who roomed with us last year. T is one of those girls that you read about in the weeaboo-horror stories thread. No one likes T, but T is going to be rooming with us yet again this year because she's begged A to let her stay. Rather than say, "No, sorry," and deal with T's bitching at her work for the rest of the year, A wants to avoid conflict and have T stay in the room.

    The problem is that everyone else is fed up with T, and no one wants to be around her. We've tried to reason with A, saying, "Lie and say X is reserving the room and won't allow her to come," or "Just tell her you can't afford a room this year," but she won't have any of it.

    Today my boyfriend talked to A about the issue and after a lot of arguing, she agreed to let him and anyone else who wants to go reserve a separate room. However, she's gonna be hella hurt when everyone ditches her in the first hotel room because they can't stand T. She's pretty ticked already, but come contime it's going to be worse.

    Were I in A's shoes, I'd feel kinda betrayed or ganged-up-on, but at the same time, I can't stand T and want to be with the rest of my friends. What should I do /cgl/? Leave A and T and have fun with my other friends, consequences be damned, or stay with A and T to make A feel better, at the same time alienating everyone else? There's gonna be trouble either way. :c

    Also to keep you guys interested I can tell the horror stories about T

    But I'm demanding advice first!

    If you are going to tell stories, change the letters into made up names. Like T = Terri, or something.

    This is way easier to read.

    Kay, T can be Terri
    A has been magically transformed into Amber

    Don't think you're gonna get away without advising me though

    Sneaky

    Leave A. If A is being too pussy about it, then A can deal with T on her own.

    I think if you pick the other room over your friend's room, you will lose your friend. How good a friend is she?

    Thanks a bunch.

    Do you have any contact with Terri directly? It's hard to give advice when we don't know how awful she really is. If it is just hygiene problems and stuff then maybe you can talk to her about it.

    Personally, I would get the second hotel room.

    I know it's such a bitch move, but you're going to have a worse time if you have to room with Terri.
    It might be better to hurt her a little with the second hotel room, than room with her, have a shit storm ensue, and then her feel bad because she booked the room with Terri that you all had to stay in.

    Leave Amber, book a separate room.

    Tell Amber that you are fed up with Terri and that you won't room with Terri because she is really annoying and Amber won't change her mind about it.

    This is your con experience, not Amber's, make sure you have fun.

    If it were me, I'd tell her that I couldn't stand Terri, and people shouldn't be expected to put up with Terri for her because she doesn't have the guts to stand up to her.

    What I do is always the wrong thing...so don't do it. Am curious why she's so bad though.

    Terri's okay on hygiene. Not sure if she showered at all last year at the con, but I didn't notice any odor besides the ever-present con funk. It's her personality that makes everyone else hate her.

    >>4826171
    Amber's one of my best friends, but she's closer to my boyfriend than she is to me. They're like brother and sister and have known each other for almost eight years, I think.

    I would also say ditch A.
    If she's not man enough/too stubborn/whatever to stand up to T, a person she dislikes, then that's her problem, not yours.
    You've given her a million suggestions and she hasn't taken them, so it's her problem. If she wants to be "nice" or whatever, let her.
    You shouldn't have to deal with people who make you uncomfortable.

    Explain to A that you're still her friend, but T is jsut too much, and you won't be forced/guilted into hanging out with someone you don't enjoy being aorund.

    herp derp, answered the wrong question. No, I don't have any direct contact with Terri.

    >>4826188
    Is Terri mean or just annoying? Like some weeaboo's can actually be hideously rude and stuff, where some are just annoying.

    How does your bf feel about this? Since he is so close to Amber

    This is good advice about the explaining. It's important for Amber to know she isn't being abandoned. Tell her that some of you guys hate Terri so much that you might blow up and ruin the con for her. So it is better for Terri as well if you are separated.
    >> Fran 08/08/11(Mon)23:47 No.4826240

    Terri isn't mean, she's just rude and...kind of a hoebag. My boyfriend hates Terri as well.

    Kay, here's about Terri:

    Last year at the con we've got ~6 people staying in our room, in addition to a few friends that have been wandering in and out. One of those 6 people includes Amber's sister. We all left to go to one of the late night panels, but Amber's sister was just under the age limit, so she had to stay in the room alone. After the panel's over, we go back to the hotel room to find Terri in only a bra, fawning all over a male friend of ours, Ned, whom Amber's sister had let into the room. Ned was looking pretty uncomfortable, but Terri was having fun plastering her boobs all up against his back. The sight itself was pretty hard to manage, as Terri isn't landwhale status but getting up there, but Ned and Amber were going through a complicated relationshit thing at the time, so while Ned was trying to pry Terri off of him Amber was pretty irritated. Also Terri had an 'out of state' boyfriend while she was doing this. (cont)

    To try and get Ned away from Terri I made a big show about how I hadn't seen Ned in SO LONG and "Ned come sit with me and let's talk", so he slid out from under her floppy funbags and joined me against the hotel room wall to talk. Terri must've thought I was trying to hit on Ned, because she marched on over and squeeeezed herself inbetween the two of us and started stroking his legs/arms and basically cooing. That was the night I resolved to stay awake the entire night to keep her from trying to suck his cock while the rest of us were sleeping. Ended up having to throw a few things at her in the dark around 4 in the morning due to rustling/giggling coming from Ned's corner (she'd decided to curl up next to him, nya! >^.^<). She must've scared Ned out of the room, because when I returned to my insomnia corner after taking a shower around six in the morning, Ned had high-tailed it out of the room.
