Tell me your stories of entitlement part 2

One of my neighbours instead of using her wheelie bin ( or when it gets full) uses the litter waste bin on the green in front of my house.

this gets full quickly, and on breezy days I’m constantly having to remove waste which has landed on my garden. I’ve never caught her in the act but today I’ve picked up a postal bag with her address on it. How dumb can you get.

Just staggered. We have a small place in the alps and have taken several of the kids’ friends. They pay for ski hire, ski pass and spends. I cover all meals (mainly me cooking /sandwiches, but perhaps a pizza or 2. I certainly don’t ask for petrol or any other contribution. What an arse.

Jesus Christ that’s absolutely disgusting

Oh, I'm pleased to read that there was a happy ending on the mum's part, and that his CFery didn't have a negative impact on your dd's friendship with their dd.

Daughters good friend asked her if she would like to join her on a ski trip. I said that yes, I thought it would be a lovely experience for her as it is an activity way out of our financial range as a family . So needed to speak to her parents …
The conversation was had and I was told that the cost would be for her ski pass, ski/boot hire and some spending money. I asked how much and he (dad) said £50 should be sufficient as the hotel room was already paid for and as they were driving (Dad , DD’s friend - his daughter .. then that was the only additional cost… ) so I agreed. Dad was super happy as wife didn’t want to go and his DD would be much easier to amuse with a friend. I clarified that the cost would be about £200… all good.

They went. DD had a great time with her friend. Something I could never of afforded and she still talks about . The girls were 10. The family she went with were v wealthy. 2 good incomes , a big house - lots of ‘boys toys - think a sports car for him on top of his landrover.. a couple of sail boats .. you get the idea . Not short of a bob or two. Whereas they knew I was a single parent middling civil servant .. income about £28k with 3 kids and a ex husband who had skipped off abroad to avoid maintenance…

Anyway .. 2 days after they returned I received an invoice .. it included (can’t remember it all now but here are the highlights)
1/3 of petrol costs from Midlands to French Alps
1/3 of family room for 7 nights.
1/3 of meals out. (One meal was £110 - how the fuck can 2 x 10 year olds cost that ?) But bill was attached unitemised so his expensive wine habit not visable)
1/3 of ‘Spa pass’ for 7 days ..
1/3 of ‘miscellaneous incidentals’

plus the agreed ski pass and ski/boot hire..

total £670… so basically subsidising his ski holiday… and providing ‘amusement’ for his daughter so he didn’t have to do it…

I sent the invoice to his wife who I knew quite well.. along with all the conversations about what I could afford… her reply was .. ‘tell him to get to fuck.. the reason I didn’t go was because I was seeing a lawyer about divorcing him due to his financial abuse ‘.. turns out he would ‘invoice’ his own wife for half of everything he ever spent on their child. I simply replied … very funny.. and he said - no not a joke - I took your child skiing - it’s not cheap ! My only response was , ‘as agreed - ski pass and boot hire money transferred to you. This is an abhorrent way to behave … silence ..

they divorced soon after but

14 years later - dd and friend are still close and mum is happily remarried..

Years ago,the big big boss would buy us some christmas treats
Couple of hundred quid worth of Thorntons chocs and toffees
We where really good at taking a few and leaving the rest for others and it worked out fine,whoever wanted one,got one and if you didn't want one,there was more for whoever did want one
One christmas,I saw tosser big boss hauling cardboard boxes to his car,I didn't think anything of it until a nasty rumour started that he'd taken our treats
He had,he'd shoved the boxes into work boxes and taken the whole lot home with him
We got our treats back in the end but covid happened and the parties and treats stopped
He 'didn't think we'd mind' apparently
We did mind and a lot of people where very vocal about it

Work CF stories:
A lovely colleague was leaving after 10 years and gave our head department her gift for the team to share. I met her outside of work and she asked me whether HOD had shared them out, and as I wasn't even in when she gave them to him, I said no, didn't know anything about them. She asked me to remind him next time I was at work.
So I did this and HOD just mumbles.something about getting them out for a special occasion l. Anyway, they never turned up because CF HOD had actually kept them for himself!

Same CF had a meeting with visitors and as no biscuits were provided with the teas and coffees, he took a pack from another department's office.

Other small but annoying CFery - IT equipment being taken and not replaced because the same thing must have happened I the room they were using.

Saw a squirrel eating the plums today- will try to get a picture. I actually do not mind. I did mind when the squirrel tried to nest in the chimney though.

I used to do BorrowMyDoggy but stopped because (and this may well just be my area) it was just a load of CFs wanting free dog boarding. One woman messaged asking if I could have her dog for TEN NIGHTS - she'd never met me nor had I met her dog!

Another wanted me to pick up her dog from the other side of town, look after it all day and then drop it back when she got home from work. I did pick him up once and the lunch he came with was a solid frozen chicken thigh. I didn't hear from her for months, and then I got a text from a random person to whom she'd given my number asking if I'd look after her dog too as she has a chronic illness. I nearly responded "is your chronic illness CFery? It seems to be catching..."

Went on a date with a guy when I was maybe 19/20. Turns out while he seemed nice enough he was unemployed with no plans to study or work and was a bit of a waster so no more dates, maybe the odd text over the the next year, then I got a missed call and several texts asking me to come and help his sister move house as she needed someone who had a car to help. I said I was working so couldn't and he responded that I should pull a sickie, I asked what they were offering to pay me since I would be loosing a day's wages (had absolutely no intention of helping but was curious) he was very put out but generously offered me "maybe" £5 for petrol if I helped the whole day.

I didn't reply and got a message a few months later asking if I wanted a shag.

IIRC he was nursing a hangover and only surfaced for a takeaway (paid for by me). We never got our thank you dinner or even a top up of our cellar!

BiL was living abroad and asked to stay at ours for a few days. No problem (in theory)…

Day 1 - after saying he’d take us for dinner to say thanks, he goes awol and arrives at 1am, half-cut and noisily rampages through our wine / whiskey stocks (I’d gone to bed)
Day 2 - he goes out to work and catch up with friends - no problem other than two of them end up sleeping on our sofa and the front door was left unlocked. I actually woke up the house by screaming at two unknown men on the sofa. He brushes this off as ‘you have space, and I thought it would be cool’
Day 4 - he invites MiL and FiL for dinner (90min train away) then swans off to meet his friends, leaving us with the bill and them with us (who we see frequently anyway)
Day 5 - going home day. He has a flight back to X at 6am, so booked a pick up at 3:30am. His game plan is to go out all day and night. He arrives back at ours at 1:30am, and says he’s going to sleep for a couple hours. I say we can stay up with you - give you coffee etc. He says no way, I know what I’m doing… Anyway, I wake up at 4:30am to an increasingly obnoxious alarm that he’s sleeping through, having missed the taxi and at this time missed the flight. He says ‘can you drive me to the airport, I have to get back to his wife’s dad’s 80th’. Tried to ask DH for money for his replacement flight and lied to his wife about cancelled/delayed flight. Wondered why he wasn’t really welcomed back again…

Someone who'd been a good friend in the past, and I to her, but was clearly moving on. She started asking favours, me driving her to airports at times which were really inconvenient. Being a fool, I put myself out a great deal even though she was making less and less time for a cuppa in between.

Finally the end came when I hadn't seen her for six months, she asked me to drive her to the airport, and on the way back she got really angry at me for getting lost and then asked to borrow no less than fifty thousand pounds .....

A massive thank you to everyone who has stood up to a CF. You're doing an unacknowledged public service 👏

Blatantly reposting as there seem to be two second threads going on and this one seems to have more uptake 😃

My CF moment was several years ago when my kids were small.
My oldest had a friend in his class at primary that he got on really well with. They had subsequently moved to a different school at KS2 point.
Hadn't seen child or mother for about a year when I get a message out of the blue from the mother asking if I'd pick her child up from after school club (at the other school) and have him at ours for dinner and a play date as she was on a training course.
I decided to agree as my son really liked this boy and was very excited for play date. Both boys are ASD so it was rare that he gelled with others.
Get to the school, the teacher obviously didn't know us so refused to hand over child (even though he was expecting us to pick him up) i was totally fine with this as appreciate they have to ensure safeguarding. Went to school office who called mum to confirm ok for us to collect. All was confirmed.
Took child home, dinner, play etc..
Agreement was for her to collect at 6.30pm
6.30pm came and went, couldn't get hold of mum on the phone. Had no other numbers for her/husband. Child was getting anxious as mum not arrived.
Kept trying to call for the next 2 hours.
My youngest was getting fractious and really needed to be put to bed, visiting child even more anxious and my oldest also now had enough and tired.
On verge of calling SS when I get a call from the dad. So sorry, wife just got home, got caught in terrible traffic and mobile had died.
Fair enough, these things happen but he then says "as it's late you might as well keep child for a sleepover"
I replied "absolutely NOT! You will come right now and collect your child this instance!"
He was most confused, but did come and collect his child.
The mum never called/messaged to thank me for looking after her child and no apology for the delay.
Most bizarre. I always insisted on having an emergency contact when looking after others kids from then on. People thought I was batshit until I told them this tale. Never going to have that happen again.

I work at a mcdonalds-a multi billion dollar business

We sell little trinkets,toys,bubbles etc on the counter to raise money for the charity we run for small kids in hospital (or rather so.parents can stay close to their sick kids-very worthy cause)

Anyway,tonight the main boss tells me it's my turn

'My turn for what?'

It spend my own money (at least £70) on these trinkets,toys and bubbles for them to sell

They are a multi million dollar/pound company,I'm on min wage and they expect me to pay for their charity!

The boss who owns our franchise is worth 25 million and I'm struggling to pay bills-they can get to fuck cos I'm not buying fuck all for them!

I have two. First was in the cinema, girl and her boyfriend came to sit beside me and my boyfriend and proceeded to munch through a huge and incredibly smelly mc Donald’s including slurping drinks and loud chewing noises. I didn’t say anything. My boyfriend then opened a packet of jellies and she made a large tutting noise and loud shhhh to him for the noise the opening packet had made.

Second was heavily pregnant on a packed train. No seats and some young girl wouldn’t get up for me from a priority seat. I clung to the rail beside her seat. She then complained loudly and nastily to the person sitting next to her about me being too near her and kept rolling her eyes at me until she got off.

Yesterday, on a busy train platform. We all formed a queue on either side of the doors to let passengers get off before we got on. A woman on the platform at the back of the q started shouting 'excuse me excuse me' and pushing past us and going into the path of off-boarding passengers. She followed up with 'i have a dog with me so i need a seat'. Nothing about the dog would imply it was a service dog. I couldnt understand why having a dog with her should mean she has first dibs on a train seat.

Lovely!

I got up early in the summer and opened the patio door and went back to the sitting room to read. When I looked up the local friendly fox was right next to me by the sofa! I waited toll he wandered out but I chuckle when I think that if he’d wandered upstairs my husband who was still in bed would have freaked out!

A couple of housemate ones in my 20’s… about the same girl.

Used to go out with friends and come home in the early hours and whack the thermostat up to 30, and go to bed. The rest of us woke then at about 4 sweating buckets, and downstairs to turn heating down, and opening bedroom windows in the hope of getting back to sleep.

She was on a much lower wage than me and honestly whenever we went out I paid for EVERYTHING. Meals, drinks, taxis, the lot. Even takeaways and wine (regular) at home. She then made a new friend and said how skint new friend was but it was okay as housemate “likes to treat her, like you do me”.

Same new friend had a nine year old daughter - they used to come round regularly and stay up late drinking. Up to them. In the mornings, both housemate and her friend would often sleep in until 11am whilst I’m up making breakfast for and chatting to 9yr old most weekends.

Another housemate complained about this housemates lack of cleaning. CF housemate asked me if I thought this was true. I said “well, you do probably do less than the rest of us”. Her response “oh I’m sorry, I’m just always in such a rush or drunk”

Agreed, he is lovely.

But please do share some more street tales, I'm living for them right now.

Ooh, he's gorgeous.
