AITA? A group of my friends and I (9 of us total) went to a lake for 4th of July this weekend. Last night, we were all pretty drunk and went to a club. After we left, a random couple came up to us and started talking to us (21M and 19F). For some reason they wanted to hang out with us instead of going to the club. The guy kept suggesting that we go somewhere together to drink. This wouldn’t have been as odd if they wanted to go to a public area and if we didn’t get such bad vibes from them.
They started saying things, such as “I know a dock that we can get to, we just have to walk through the woods to get there”, "wouldn't it be crazy if we were sex traffickers", and “you two wouldn’t be the type I would go for”. When we asked how old they were the guy didn’t know how old his girlfriend was. One of our friends told them that they could come drink at our Airbnb(which is in the middle of the woods, no neighbors). We all looked at her and told her no.
We had to go to the bathroom so we walked to a nearby gas station. The random guy came out with 3 cases of alcohol and asked us to come to the dock with him. 6 of us said no because we didn’t wanna walk through the woods with him, it was also about to storm and there were no people out. 3 of our friends and the couple were telling us we were "too sober" and that we needed to have fun. We begged our friends to come home with us because they were already really drunk and we didn’t want them to drown or get hurt because of the storms/how dark it was outside. They got mad at us and yelled at us. Some of us followed them down to the dock to check on them to see if they were okay (it was so foggy out there that you could see max 3 ft in front of you). The couple started saying that it was "so cute we cared so much" and offered us drinks because he “bought them for the girls”. The 6 of us ended up Ubering back and the 3 of them and the couple stayed. When we got back to the Airbnb, we checked their location to see if they were still there. They ended up getting in the strangers car (he was extremely drunk and was driving). We asked them what they were doing/where they were, and they lied to us about both. We asked for them to uber to the Airbnb because we didn’t want strangers knowing where we were sleeping. We watched them get dropped off and it was the guy from earlier, not an uber.
They invited the girl inside to go to the bathroom and when she was leaving she seemed super uncomfortable and told us we needed to get our friends to stay home. When our friends finally came inside, one was sheet white and had puke all over him and one of them tried fighting one of us who stayed. We all went to bed, and today we found out the guy that we didn’t know was trying to get them to stay the night with him at a hotel. We thought this was weird because he said that he lived in a house around the area. Am I the asshole for being upset that they lied, and put them and us in possible danger?
