What do you want to do? That's all it boils down to. There are always other walking groups you can join. Sounds like lots of people will be walking. Just book the room you want and leave them be.

You can do without this grief. They really don't sound like friends if you have to turn yourself into a pretzel to do anything.

You can't always be a people pleaser. You need to be a Josie pleaser sometimes.....
