Two Weeks in the Wrong Cabin

Synopsis

The Okonkwos drive nine hours with three children and a dog to a cabin on Lake Mercer that they booked in January and paid for in full. The Petraseks are already in it. They booked in January. They paid in full. Both confirmations are real, both are non-refundable, and the agency that issued them has an answering machine that mentions a holiday. It is the second week of August. There is nothing else free within sixty miles. Both families have been looking forward to this since winter, and neither one of them is going home.

Who this is about

The Okonkwos drive nine hours to a lakeside cabin they booked in January, and find the Petraseks already unpacked in it.

What goes wrong

Both reservations are genuine. Both are non-refundable. There is nothing else free within sixty miles in the second week of August.

What's at stake

Fourteen days, one kitchen, two families who have each been looking forward to this since winter.

Why it keeps going

Each episode one household concedes something, and the other household misreads it entirely.

Takeaway

Nobody ever fights about the cabin.
