my friend sarah and i planned a trip for months. two days before she bailed because she didnt feel lik eit… i went alone and had an amazing time, now shes asking me to send her all my pics so she can post them on her private story to see what it was like, but i feel like she doesnt deserve the memories since she left me hanging. she says im being petty … AITA?
she wants to post your pictures? that’s…odd
yes, my pictures. from the view, not the ones im in. makes sense? i think she wants poeple to think she went there and took them personally. sounds dumb but i dont like it.
It’s actually weird of her. Has she done this kind of stuff before?
that’s exactly what she wants to do.
Send her only ones with you in it 😆
She wants to post certain ones as HER trip. OP, don’t do it. Or, if you want to be petty, send her obvious ones from TripAdvisor, Google, or anything with a barely visible watermark and see what she does.
NTA. Why should you send her pics? It’s kind of weird of her to ask.
Did she not have the money to pay for the trip, but wanted to post the pictures for it to look like she go to go?
NTA
MYA. Send them to her with your watermark ALL OVER THEM!
She’s not posting them to see what it was like. Does she think you’re a fool?
She wants to pretend to people that she went
Nta
Spot on, pretending she went is shady, but OP could ask why she really wants em might be just fomo, not full deceit
That’s weird she wants to post your photos like she was there. I wouldn’t be giving them to her.
This is a bit of a weird one. NTA, but only because your friend’s request is bizarre. She didn’t go. Why does she need the photos to post to her own story? Everything I write here is pure speculation. I try really hard to judge these based on merits alone, but this is just so… strange.
Purely practical and non-imaginative: no, don’t send her pictures. Invite her to see them when you post them, or to come over and see them from your hands.
One would assume that at least SOME of your photos are going to be available to be seen by Sarah on some shared forum: Facebook or Instagram or Snapchat or whatever. It would also be a LOT more logical, if she just wants to see them, for Sarah to ask for you to show her the pics. I know vacation slide shows are a 1970s holdover, but it’s where Powerpoint parties are heading, mark my words.
So, the request to have them sent to her so she can create a private story immediately sets my antennae spinning. Why does she need to have the pictures? Creating a private story so she can feel like she went… that’s a bit weird. Maybe if Sarah had dropped for medical reasons or a family emergency, I could see that.
But this makes me wonder if she’s trying to get some sort of other thing out of it. Confirmation of the trip for family or partner? “Evidence” of travel for a job or potential influencer things? Maybe she has a really nice recipe that requires her to post six paragraphs of travelogue and your trip was the perfect
NTA.
Did she go somewhere else instead of on the trip? Is there someone in her life she’d need to lie to about where she was?
This is weird.
