3. “The Debbie Downer”

So you’ve planned a vacation with your two “BFF’s” (best friends forever, for those of you who don’t know). It’s been a long 6 months since your last getaway and you’re all so excited to just flee from it all.

You’re alarm rings at 5 am, you jump in the shower, put on the outfit that you set out for yourself the night before and hop in your cab to the airport. Yeah it’s early, but you’re too excited to think about being tired, you’re on vacation! So, the cab drops you at the curb where your two friends are waiting. You feel compelled to give them a hug cause you’re just that excited. But you notice “Debbie” isn’t hugging that tightly and you hear her mumble “it’s sooooo early” in a mono-tone voice, uh-oh, this is where it all starts. So you shrug it off, grab your bags and proceed to the check in line. The line is almost out the door, but who cares, you got there early and you’re on vacation!! You happen to glance over at “Debbie” and she is rolling her eyes and says, “this stuff always happens to me.”

You finally get to your room in the beautiful Bahamas, yeah you are a little tired because you had to give up your window seat to “Debbie,” but you’re over it. You throw on your new bikini, grab a towel and are ready to head down to the beach (you’ve been waiting all day for a cocktail in a coconut)! “Debbie” decides she is gonna take a quick snooze and meet you both down there later.

After the beach you head back to the room to get ready for dinner, drinks and a fun night of vacation! You walk in, curtains are shut, air condition is on and “Debbie” is still sleeping. It’s still your first day, so you understand, she has a tough time on airplanes, she will snap out of it. Well you’re wrong, the whole trip you are convincing this person that it will be fun to go here or that she will have a good time once she’s there. By the end of the trip you are hoping that she just stays in the room by herself so you and your fun friend can talk about how depressing she is.

Well your trip is finally over, you get home, start to unpack and your phone rings, it’s “Debbie.” You don’t want to pick it up (cause let’s face it, she kind of ruined your trip), but you do anyways. She proceeds to tell you how much fun she had and how you should all start planning your next vacation together. You smile and say “totally,” but know that there is no way in hell you will ever go on vacation with “Debbie” again. This is a person you never want to travel with…
