If you travel with someone with allergies is it selfish of them to not inform hotel staff of the things they cannot eat?
I'm away for my mums birthday and we've noticed my uncle is incredibly selfish.
He talks in excess, using these annoying voices that he thinks is funny. Sometimes keeping my mum up til 3am as they're sharing a room.
He will go and get himself a drink, but not bring any of us one, and if he comes after we've started eating he'll keep asking where he can get a glass of wine or something until my mum gives in and gets him a drink.
I've been trying to organise something special for her day and guest relations already told me if my uncle has so many allergies, we can't eat in the a la carte restaurants.
I've asked him 3 times now to go and fill out the form that way they can finalise the plan for the day. Bake a cake and show him specifically what food he can the enjoy as he's been eating like a rabbit.
He's shown signs of dislike towards me, by putting his foot on my chair and kicking it when I sit next to him. When I asked him to stop he responded, "you're sensitive aren't you!" so I said "maybe but I'd prefer you didn't do that, your feet don't need to be on my chair!" when he didn't stop I asked, if I could swap chairs with my boyfriend, he got upset and went quiet. I then noticed he didn't put his foot on my boyfriends chair not even once.
Yesterday we went to the garden party the hotel put on. He didn't want to move further into the crowd, where the music was so quiet and there was hardly any atmosphere. I decided to go in further.. I danced by myself confidently.
My boyfriend doesn't really like to dance so I didn't expect him to follow. But he appeared and shortly after that my uncle started talking to random guests so my mum followed as she was standing on her own.
He eventually came to join us... Only to stand directly behind me and so close. So I moved forward slightly and he filled the gap between us again.
This holiday has only highlighted to me what I already thought. He doesn't like me. But he's not going to ruin my mums birthday. He will have to go an eat on his own, if he keeps this up. We're already sacrificing eating something special, just so he's not left out!
