Some jobs make it all too difficult to plan vacations, with strict hours or requirements that two or more folks can’t take days off at the same time. Normally, the result is that people have to be more diligent or communicate better, but a few people always think they can just wing it.

A man turned to the internet for advice after his coworker desperately wanted to swap vacation days. His coworker had suddenly decided that he had to take his nine year old to a theme park and would not budge on the dates. When the man refused, as he’d already made plans and deposits, a stream of guilt tripping began.
