Friend wants me to pay

@wineosaurusrex
Pity you didn't charge her a daily/weekly storage fee
Block her
And dump those cases ASAP
And
If that's a friend
Hate to.meet your enemies.....

Tell her to fuck off!

I couldn’t agree more. Just why??? At least the OP has boundaries.

Agree, I only wonder at the wet lettuce friend who trekked miles away lugging crazy friend's luggage, paid for taixs, paid £200 from his own pocket to have them delivered, even though she owed him £700 already. I bet everyone's glad she's buggered off abroad!

How do people like that have friends in the first place? Well done on shaking the crazy bastard off OP, you did yourself a huge favour there.

All of the 'friends' will know exactly what she is like and will take zero notice of her vile comments about being let down. She's clearly an entitled and toxic individual who doesn't deserve to be living in your head. Give her no more thought and be glad that you stuck to your guns. One less person to weigh you down with crap.

She's unbelievable! Were there no signs she was this awful before this incident? I'm surprised your mutual friend was willing to go to all this effort for her.

Well done for sticking to your guns. The mutual friend is unlikely to ever do anything for her again!

Set fire to it in the garden and sit and watch with a bottle of wine.

I remember this thread.

I'd love it if @wineosaurusrex came back with a triumphant story in which the "friend" had to atone for her behaviour and beg forgiveness.

We all love a good comeuppance!

Cheeky bitch. Tell her to get a flight to pick up the 2 suitcases you have kindly stored for her.

I must have missed this when you first posted it OP, but now I've read it, I'm itching to know if she ever paid for her stuff to be collected, or whether you ended up dumping it?

We used to have a house in Spain, which we ended up selling due to illness and my no longer being able to travel. As we hadn't planned to sell it during our last visit, there was still some of our stuff there, so I asked a friend who lives out there, if they would mind very much being at the property to give it to the company when they came to collect it. They very kindly agreed, and I organised and paid everything from this end. It all went without a hitch, and the next time we saw our friends, we took them out for a meal as a thank you for helping us out. I honestly cannot believe the cheek of some people.

She have stored her stuff for free and this is the way she treats you. Tell her she can either come and pick the stuff up or you will dump it. Give her a cut off time as well nasty itch that she is. Lash the friendship as wel as she is no friend!

Just picking up on later posts.
If you are communicating with the CF, don't apologise or imply YOU misunderstood anything, just stick to the facts.
She can pay for having the stuff sent, or she can make arrangements (that suit you) to have it collected. Otherwise it goes to charity.
Give her a deadline and stick to it.
After that, block her.

I would say- I never offered to pay, and you know I never offered to pay- if you want the bags send the money .
I would add after 3 months I will donate the stuff, because I am not a free storage facility, end of argument.

Tell you will send them when she sends the money. If she refuses, tell her in future you will be charging for storage.

This person is no longer your friend.

Of course she should pay! And she's utterly moronic to think otherwise!

"Hi Jane, of course, apologies if there was any misunderstanding, but I was doing you a massive favour, storing your cases of clothes for you. I'm bemused as to why you think it's anything to do with me in regard to paying to ship them to you...?

If you want them, you pay for them, or arrange for someone else to come and pick them up from mine, which I'm happy to be around for if that's what you want to do. Why should I be out of pocket when I've already done you a favour? They're not my clothes, and I couldn't give a rats ass about them.
At this point, I'm getting so annoyed about this, that if you haven't made arrangements for these cases to be gone by the 1st November, I'm going to take the whole lot to a charity shop, as you clearly don't want them that badly.
Regards,
OP."

Even if it was a misunderstanding, why on earth would she be expecting you to pay anyway?

Only pass on to mutual friend if it doesn't cost you anything. Otherwise she can arrange a courier - it sounds like you worked for the same company so she can arrange collection from there.

Either you pay by x or I donate the clothes. Simple

i was mortified when i found out she thought i was paying!

She's the one who should be mortified, not you.

How peculiar to think you should pay to send her stuff.

I would say in an email ‘I’m genuinely worried
your account has been hacked and this is some kind of scam, why on earth would I pay for YOUR suitcases to be sent home Janet?’

If you do genuinely want the suitcases shipped to you now, then let me know and send me the money for same. It’s €280

I won’t be staying here much longer myself as I will be be moving on in January so
its best this is dealt with now.
Sorry again for misunderstanding and I hope this email clarifies my position.
Also, if you have been scammed, my AI safe phrase is ‘I am not a mug’.

Kind regards x

I’m sorry, but I wouldn’t be sending her anything. I would be questioning what was in those bags, why didn’t she just pay to take them with her. I would be taking them to a police station and raising your concerns -you really don’t want your name attaching to any of this. I suspect this is why she is asking you to pay.

Haven’t read the full thread but I would drop them off at her parents/family home. I wouldn’t be dumping them on a friend for her to do the same to them.

Tell her to jog on. 👍🙄
