T&C Applied

I wasn't in good mood yesterday. I was tired and I could use some fun. Then it came to me, an idea to spend this upcoming holiday outtown. Rafting was one option. 

I was so excited so that I browsed here and there and asked my friend who was specialist in travel area about this. I thougt I was gonna use his service so all I had to do was paying. 

But then it required at least 6 people to do this activity. So I asked my friends to join this. I had set the date. One answered with a simple no because of the weather, the debit of the water could be gigantic, he said. One answered "okay lah, let's do this". One responded with so many questions but no yes or no as I write this. And some with enthusiasm agreed to join this.  

So I counted there was 7, included me and my better half. Following this up, I contacted again my friend to come out with the price and everything. 

This morning, I asked my fellows for confirmation. One still hadn't answered. Some asked me about the transportation, and said that they wouldn't join if they should drive themselves, though they said yesterday that they would drive instead of renting a car. One said that he had to ask his dad first since his dad might have planned family thingies on that date. So it left with one that confirmed to join this.

I hate this. Not because I don't respect their reasons to somehow canceled or asked me to make reservation first without them. But because they didn't say their "Terms and Condition" at the beginning. 

I hate dealing with incosistencies. I'd rather take a simple no than a yes with T&C Applied or a let-us-see thingies. 

My travel agent friend said that it should be 6 at least. And when I had 7 people I followed up with him. But then 4 of them canceled on me. It sucks. I have to deal with this guilty feeling and cancel on my travel agent friend. It isn't easy. But who cares? No one!!!

It makes me realize not to depend on any one. It simply was a mistake. I miscount. I thought I could count on them. It is sad. But I'll live. Lol!
