Is it rude that my friend told me to sleep on the couch?
I recently went out of town with my friend, his brother, and another friend, and we rented an Airbnb apartment that has only one queen bed. My friend asked if I could sleep on the couch, which I found disrespectful. Initially, the other friend wasn't going to join us but ended up coming at the last minute. It’s important to note that only my friend and I paid half for the room; his brother and the other friend did not contribute financially.
Given that the bed can comfortably accommodate three people, I believe that adding a fourth person would make it uncomfortable for everyone. I feel that his other friend should either have refrained from coming or at least contributed to the cost of the room. I believe that those who paid for the room should get the most benefit, which in this case means getting to sleep on the bed rather than the couch. Since only my friend and I paid for the room out of the four of us, I am left wondering: is it rude of my friend to suggest I sleep on the couch? I find it quite rude and am considering just getting a hotel for the rest of the weekend.

Quite rude- the bed should have been yours to sleep on you paid for it. Though on the other hand if the couch is comfortable might be a good thing you don’t have to sleep with the other two guys.

You have learned a valuable lesson in life. When renting a place, each person that stays there pays the same amount of rent. If it’s 5 (i.e.) divide the price by 5 and all need to pay before you go. If the couch is uncomfortable, by all means rent a room and have it to yourself. It hardly ever works out when so many people share one small place.
I would guess it was unfair situation. You’re right; if your put your money into something, then you should get some benefit from it. It was unfair for those that didn’t pay to reap the benefits. Honestly, though, the couch would have been better, because you have the room to yourself rather than having to adjust and waking up others moving around you.
If this bothers you, I would talk to your friend about it. Maybe your friend just didn’t realize this point of view that you have and may end up agreeing with you.
“And again only me and my friend paid out of 4 people here. “
When that happens again, make arrangement before you pay, WHO WILL BE SLEEPING where.
Lesson learned.
But yes, you paid for it, you should share bed with him. That was rude.
