Maria pretended to be out of town in order to organize a surprise party for her husband Tom’s 40th birthday. Nevertheless, Tom was not present when strangers showed up due to an unforeseen Airbnb reservation.
Tom put their house up for rent on Airbnb because he believed Maria was gone. Guests came early on the day of the party to decorate. They hid and waited for Tom until 5:45.
The door opened, and a young couple entered, mistakenly believing they had rented the house, instead of Tom. When both sides realized they had mixed up, confusion followed.
Tom apologized and hurried home when Maria contacted him shortly after. Jake and Emily, the couple, received an invitation to the celebration. When Tom got there, he apologized and said he was trying to save money for a trip.
Everyone was having a great time with the surprise visitors as the party went on. Even with all of the turmoil, it turned into a happy and unforgettable night.
How would you have responded in that situation?
