18-year-old abandons parents leaving them marooned on an island when they're late back to their Caribbean cruise: 'They would not head back to the ship when I said it was time to go'

Cruise ships: floating palaces packed with tourists and plague that light up the oceans and terrorize whatever small port they happen to land in. You'd have to consider yourself mighty important indeed to think that one of these floating fortresses would forestall its scheduled course in order to accommodate your unfortunately entitled person... Sure, let's leave 3999 people waiting while the 4000th takes their time making your way back to the dock according to their own time.

Sure, it's a tough lesson to learn being marooned in some foreign port that you actually don't have permission to remain in… but a deserved one should it ever eventuate.

If you've ever worked retail near a port town, you've probably had one of these tourists waving tax exemption forms at you, chagrined that you've refused to accept their paperwork despite its irrelevance for their desired purchase. Though, perhaps this is a specific torment reserved for mine own circle of heck. Yes, these especially entitled vacationing persons will be perfectly content confoundedly beguiling you with their bickering arguments, all while their ship pulls out of port back out to see. It's rather amusing to watch their dawning realization that they're completely and utterly—well, kaputt.

This teen posted on this popular online community to see whether or not they were in the wrong for leaving their parents at a port where their cruise had stopped. They had rushed to make the boat while their parents dawdled behind, earning their parent's rage for "abandoning" them.
