[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reminds me of White Lotus where the husband was pissed he paid for Honeymoon suite and got downgraded. 
His wife, who’s new to high end things, didn’t care, didn’t pay, and basically says nothing, escalating him to stick up for them solo and get money back, comped meals, move rooms. It all goes downhill from there…. [/quote]

Except it's not the same thing at all. In yours, they paid for something they didn't get. Op didn't pay extra for a full view, she didnt try to confirm it during reservations, etc.  So when she got the partial view it wasn't like she was under the impression she was going to get the full view because the restaurant promised it to her. [/quote]

Actually it is a good analogy, because everyone paid the same for food and Op got the objectively worst table.

It’s also a good analogy because one spouse doesn’t give a damn and the other school does.

[b]It’s all perspective. If you went out one big vacation and pricey dinner out a year and got screwed you’d have a different perspective than someone on trip 7 and an averages $500 dinners several times a month. [/b]

That’s why you show empathy and try to understand someone else’s feelings. You don’t have to agree with the feelings or interpretation but hopefully you can see where they’re coming from and why they’re irked. Especially if you are a spouse or good friend.[/quote]
This reminds me of a relative of mine who owns a luxury vacation service. The rich clients are easy-going, kind, incredibly easy to work with. It’s the people who scrabble every penny together to save for The Biggest Vacation Ever!!! who are nasty to the employees, high-strung, incredibly hard to please. And try to cheap out on stuff.[/quote]
