Woman Pretends To Start Organising Group Holiday So Type A Friend Steps In And Takes Control

Chelsea Edwards has always been considered a bit hopeless amongst her friendship group, however today she has performed some organisational judo that would make any aspiring manipulator proud. 

It’s understood that Edwards, a paralegal at a family law firm in Betoota’s upper west side, wanted to get the ball rolling on a group holiday to Europe but didn’t want to be left with the burden of organising it or making any form of logistical decision. 

“I knew as soon as I created the group and started firing off a few scattered messages that he [sic] would step in.” She told The Advocate. 

‘He’ is control freak, Jake Simpson, the friendship group’s ‘activity guy’. According to Edwards, Simpson has organised the last 4 of their holidays, not because he wants to relieve his friends of the pain of holiday research, but because he’s a complete psycho who doesn’t trust their taste or choices. 

It took a whole two minutes for Edward’s machiavellian manoeuvre to work, with Simpson taking the bait almost immediately. 

“Leave with me” is all he wrote. 

And just like that, Edwards’ job was complete – the reins firmly in Simpson’s hands, allowing her to slip back into organisational obscurity. 

More to come.
