You could set it 'do not disturb' instead so people think you're super busy.
They'd definitely know somethings up.

Yes theyd should rightly be upset, but they are no worse off as it's a sunk cost.Is this a joke? You don't think people should be upset at paying hundreds of pounds for a holiday and then not getting one?? They might have saved up for two years for that holiday. I guess you must be rich.![]()
So if you buy a car off me for £5000, then I don't give you the car, you're no worse off? What? This makes no sense at all.Yes theyd should rightly be upset, but they are no worse off as it's a sunk cost.

Not at all. They have lost a holiday - they have not lost the money as it would have been spent if they went on the holiday. They are (technically) no worse off now, irrespective of whether they had the holiday or not. Their finances now are no different.Is this a joke?

Not the same as you may need to buy a car as it it probably a necessity. Foreign holidays are notSo if you buy a car off me for £5000, then I don't give you the car, you're no worse off? What? This makes no sense at all.

No, sorry, this doesn't compute for me at all. If you've paid hundreds for a holiday, and your holiday gets taken away from you, you would be livid. Anyone who can just calmly pass that off as "oh well we'd have spent the money either way" must be absolutely minted. That situation would ruin an entire year for most people.Not at all.

I'm not a big holiday person myself, but you're right, for many people the main reason they work hard for an entire year is to be able to take their family away on holiday. If that gets snatched away they'd be crushed.Surely that depends on each persons own situation
If a foreign holiday is needed for people’s own mental health and well being then it’s a necessity
They have lost money, I agree. But that money was already spent and has no affect on the money they currently have (or don't have). That is my irritation as they are trying to blame the company for their current financial situation and they aren't technically linked.They have paid out a certain amount of money for something they have purchased and they haven’t received what they purchased so they have lost money

Ok, you do you, but this is probably the single most baffling irritation I've ever seen in this thread.They have lost money, I agree.

I read the story, I was annoyed/irritated by the guy's reaction and not fully telling the whole truth. I shouldn't have to justify my irritation any more than someone getting irritated by mayo on a sausage butty!I really can’t see the irritation tbh
Can fully understand someone being very angry and disappointed that they have lost a lot of money if they don’t get what they have purchased
Financially not worse off.So if you buy a car off me for £5000, then I don't give you the car, you're no worse off? What? This makes no sense at all.
He's just pointing out the logic, it's easy to understand and does not require a pile on.I really can’t see the irritation tbh
