This isn’t really an AITA scenario but this thread works just as well for a theoretical I was thinking about. I actually have two similar but different imaginary scenarios.
Scenario 1. Going on a vacation with a friend. Due to last minute booking, only 2 airbnbs are left. Unit 1 sort of out in the burbs, 2 bedroom. Unit 2 is downtown, 1 bedroom with sofa bed in living room. They prefer to be in the burbs because they don’t like sofa bed and prefer 2 bedroom, you prefer downtown due to location. To sway them, you say they can have the bedroom, you’ll take sofa bed, because you value the far superior location of the downtown condo.
When talking about price, they assume it’ll be split 50/50. Do you then ask them to pay more than half since they get the superior accommodation arrangement?
Scenario 2. Same vacation and same limited Airbnb options but this time it’s 3 friends and all their preferences are aligned. You’re ok with sofa bed and they don’t mind the shared accommodation since the other option has crappy location. The other two friends are married (to each other) so obviously they get the room and you’ll take the sofa bed. All parties agree that due to the location this is the preferred unit.
When discussing price they assume it’ll be split evenly 1/3 each. Do you ask them to pay extra since they get the superior accommodation arrangement?
Options:
1 Yes you would ask them to pay
2 no and nor should they
3 no, wouldn’t say anything, but they should pay more
Assume no other accommodations available at any price point anywhere, only the two I mentioned. And just refusing to go isn’t an option. Assume you are both cool with staying in the same unit.
