Everyone has that 1 person in the group who shows a lot of excitement while planning trips, but backs off at the end moment, after all bookings are done. We just hate that person, because he always ruins perfectly planned trips.
A group of 10 friends faced the same problem, when one of their friends Joe Mcgrath ditched them for a trip to Mallorca (Spain). Yes, they couldn’t stop cursing Joe when he backed off all of a sudden and that too at the end moment, when nothing could be changed.
Since all the flight and hotel bookings were done, they found a good “Jugaad” to avoid the wastage of money.
Well, one of them searched for a guy with the same name i.e. Joe Mcgrath on Facebook, and asked him to come on a trip with them. Joe Mcgrath (The replacement), who is a resident of Manchester, England, was totally shocked to get a such a request from strangers. At one point of time, he thought that the group is fooling him.
Here’s the message that he got;
McGrath was doubtful even after getting the boarding pass, but he decided to take the risk because he had taken off from work. He joined them in Bristol and enjoyed the trip to the core; although they were complete strangers, he had a gala time.
Check out the pictures that he shared;
They were all so nice!
Hahaha I know, I couldn't not go. It will never happen to me again! They were all so nice! Got a pic of them all watching the sun go down pic.twitter.com/zNuKpYTMqY

Wow, this is called “Ek number idea”! With this plan, they not only let a stranger enjoy but also saved a good amount of money spent on reservations. Next time if someone from your group ditches the trip, keep this backup plan ready!
