Today, I told my neighbor that I was going to Réunion Island on vacation in a few months. She said that she'd always wanted to go there. As a light-hearted joke, I said she should come with me. She's now booked a plane ticket. FML

Probably would have been best without the joke. You never know when people take things literally.

Since you're correcting him on his French grammar, I am obliged to do the same. It's *C'est la vie*, with a normal 'c' and apostrophe, not 'ç'.

EpicSquishii, anything? I'd like to know how you'd pronounce the Finnish word "epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydelläänsäkäänköhän". And yes; It's a single word and it's not gibberish.

Maybe you weren't being obvious enough about it being a joke. Some people just don't understand jokes.

If she's a nice neighbor, and you're good friends, make the most of the situation. I'm assuming that it would have been better to be alone in the trip, but pertainung to the

Ugh I was afraid this would happen. I was replying on my phone during my work break and my signal went out, so I couldn't edit my comment to compete it. Lol, my apologies! Might as well finisg it: ...but pertaining to the issue at hand and what I mentioned above, try and use the time to know her better. But, only if she chooses to! Then just avoid her throughout your whole vacation.
