Travelling light

Today, my mom and I flew three hours from Wyoming to a volleyball camp in Kentucky. When we arrived, we went to the volleyball center and told them I was there for the volleyball camp. They told me it had been cancelled two weeks ago and they forgot to call us. FML

Today, I had an all day volleyball tournament in a town an hour away. My dad left early, not realizing he was my ride home. I'm now stranded in the middle of a rural town with no way home anytime soon. FML

Today, I tried to make my mom feel better about me leaving for camp for 2 weeks by saying I wish she would come too. She took me seriously and called the camp and is now a camp counselor there. The only problem is I lied about going to the camp, and I'm really going to my boyfriend's lake house. FML

Today, my family was leaving for a weekend trip and was supposed to pick me up on the way down. About an hour before they are supposed to arrive, my mom calls to tell me that there's no room left in the car, so they won't be stopping to get me. FML

Volley girl

Today, I had a volleyball game, and we were down by 13 points. I looked up at the crowd, and my mom was shaking her head in disappointment. When it was my turn to serve, I aced them, and tied the score. When I looked up she was gone. She'd left. When I got home, I heard how I sucked for an hour. FML

Today, I found out my mom booked me a flight to stay with relatives who I don't like, and who don't like me. I leave in two days, and don't return until the day before school starts. FML

Bad connection

Today, and after a lot of effort to reconnect with my family after a while of limited contact, I found out from the family group text that my mom, sister, and grandmother went on a vacation without me, and I didn’t even know about it until they posted some airport selfies. FML

Today, my mother knocked on the door of my room at 7am. I am currently over 300 miles from home, on a vacation to get away from my overbearing family. I told none of them where I was going. FML

Freak out

Today, I told my mom I was going hiking with a couple of friends and wouldn't be back for four or more hours. Not even two hours later, she called the cops and reported us as missing. She didn't realize that we wouldn't have service up the canyon so we could call her back. FML

Today, I listened to a voicemail from my mom about how she misses me and can't wait to see me when I get back from vacation. Thinking she hung up, my mother then had a conversation with my aunt about how quiet the house is without me and how she'd be blessed if I didn't come home. FML

That's sucks and they really dropped the ball. Sorry your camp got cancelled OP and you wasted money flying down too. Some people are just careless and inconsiderate

Should phone up the appropriate people and demand reimbursement for the flight fees and improve their common courtesy, in the meantime enjoy Wyoming

Wow, how irresponsible are they? Definitely demand a refund for the camp and reimbursement for your flight and any charges you may accrue as a result of them "forgetting" to tell you the camp was canceled.

A cross state lawsuit? So either they stay in Kentucky/revisit in a few months/years. Or they try and drag a few sketchy people from the camp out to Wyoming. When chances are, the camp owners are broke anyways. So they end up costing themselves more money paying an attorney to file the case/plane tickets back. It's just not worth it over a few hundred bucks. It sucks, but you're out that. Unless you live close and can just do small claims.

aaaaand that's why you, or your mom, were supposed to call them a couple of days in advance to make sure that everything is still set.

If you're flying anywhere always confirm the week before plans are set. However that doesn't mean you should not be reimbursed.

Try to make the best of it, OP! Pretend its a vacation! go get a really nice hotel, stay there for a week or two (depending on what you can afford) and have fun!

Maybe it wouldn't be worth the effort to sue unless they refuse to compensate her, but her mom definitely deserves reimbursement for the plane ticket, and perhaps even for lost wages for the work hours she may have given up to be there. I'd threaten to post scathing reviews online and report them to the BBB. But suing wouldn't just be about the money. It's a way to hold businesses accountable so they remain diligent in not screwing over their customers with their incompetence.
