Woman Refuses To Venmo Money After Her Boyfriend’s Friends Let A Stranger Into Their Airbnb
"My bf and I have been expressing our discomfort to having this random come to the airbnb"
A 28-year-old woman refused to pay a Venmo request after her boyfriend’s friends let a random guy into their Airbnb for the day, and the whole thing spiraled fast. This random guy ended up hanging out with them all day, then even went out to the bar with one of the guys, like he belonged there. OP’s argument is simple, if they invited someone else for free, they should cover the cost, not her.
Now the question is whether OP is being unfair, or whether this was just an unsafe, self-serving move from the start.

They would have paid the same amount if thr random guy wasn’t there anyways

That’s when OP realized her boyfriend’s friends weren’t just “sharing space,” they were charging her like nothing changed.
OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:
AITA for not paying a venmo request because the group decided to invite an extra person for one night for free? I believe that they should have to pay for staying, the other said it should be fine because it would have been the same amount regardless, but I don’t think it’s fair?

While the random guy was out with them at the bar, OP was stuck staring at a Venmo request that didn’t match the deal.
The group’s logic, “it would’ve been the same amount anyway,” clashes hard with OP’s point that the extra person still affected the situation.
And when commenters pointed out how risky it is to let strangers into your Airbnb, OP’s refusal stopped looking petty and started looking like a boundary.
Ah, snowboarding - A massive cloud envelops you as the adrenaline takes over and the joy sets in as you drop into a line of perfect pow, knee deep, surf down the mountain, and feel the spray reach your face. The OP was all in for it but this "guest" spoilt the mood for her.
