That one mate that never had to share toys growing up is in one of his moods again.
This comes as a group of friends arrive at the short-term rental accomodation they’d booked several months ago, in anticipation for an exciting boys weekend in a new city.
The trip – which is kind of like a bucks trip, or more accurately a reverse-bucks trip to lift morale after one of the boys suddenly became single, is set to include in all of the usual fun and stupidity that comes with a long weekend away with old mates.
Namely, some half-hearted golf to start, followed by some power drinking back at the clubhouse, followed by a short visit to the accomodation to put on some jeans (shower beers!) and then a big feed at a local steakhouse followed by extreme gambling and shit-talking in a lively local pub, before the boys get invited by a group of equally rowdy girls to the only joint in town that has a dance-floor – where they will all drunkenly peel off one by one, with the hope that the bloke who needs it the most gets a root.
There will be a football match at some point on day two, for which they have all purchased tickets, followed by the exact same turn of events as the first night.
It’s actually going to be terrific. And the energy is just what they need as the boys arrive one by one at the rental property.
Spirits are high all round – except for the fact that the only ‘only-child’ of the group is nearing full blown meltdown after realising he won’t be able to enjoy the highest standard of luxury available in this house that they are aiming to spend very little time in.
After rushing into the house without saying hello to anyone, the Only Child was furious to find that a duffle bag had already been left on the King Size bed in the master bedroom – the universal sign that this bad has been taken.
This frustration is vocalised briefly before the Only Child goes missing for close to an hour.
He will now have to join the others in enduring shitty double beds, but the rest of the guests had assumed he’d be thankful that at least nobody has to share.
But still, the Only Child sulks, and does his best to dampen the mood, even after learning that the King Size bed has been taken by the bloke who needed this weekend the most.
His sookiness can only be countered by the boys making fun of him until he reaches breaking point, before deciding to pull his head out of his arse and cheering up.
But he will still make sure he comes home first from the nightclub, and will be swapping rooms, before sleeping naked in the king size bed alone – a petty act that will likely spoil another mate’s chances of picking up.
