Have you ever encountered anyone this cheeky?

Slattern the astonishing part was that she felt she was doing us a favour by borrowing it. When dh collected the expensive items they were absolutely filthy. What a lovely way to treat other people's property!

Not really a friend but a woman who lived in the area told me that she could not find the key to my house in order to show her mother round! They had looked under the bin and everywhere so where did I keep my key! I had not long moved - they had peeped in the windows and said some rooms looked like a shithole.

Cookie -you're right, it makes you think twice about ever helping again. You would think people wouldn't be so short sighted.

God some of these are just amazing.

The best I can manage is a cousin of DH's who we didn't invite to our wedding (because she is a manipulative witch who would have delighted in upsetting our guests).

When she saw her mums invitation she chucked a massive tearfest, which got back to DH's dad, who is a great peacemaker, so he then spent ages trying to persuade us to invite said drama queen.

Cheeky bitch knew exactly what would happen when she turned on the tears.

DH had a cheapskate mate who no longer comes round because he doesn't get to raid the fridge and take stuff home or use the laptop and WiFi.

He used to commit insurance fraud, too.

Slattern my sil did the same thing with baby equipment we'd kindly lent her. Never bothered doing anything helpful for her again.

Slattern did you point out that the tools were there because of a favour?
Am still at the four week old baby being mugged for his/her car seat and left on the floor!

Oh, cheapskates trying to take the piss really get nowhere with me. They are never skint, either. Just cheap.

Only once and not really in the league of some of these.... Friend came over with a bag of stuff and said 'could you eBay these and give me the money. I know you have an account and I don't have time to be answering emails and posting stuff'.

How she thought I'd have more time than her ill never know.

The same person I've mentioned a few times this week used to always text 'phone me' because she didn't want to pay for the call.

If I ignored her she'd text 'phone me' hourly.

Once she even caught me on facebook chat and asked if I'd call her because she needed to ask me a favour.

at all these cheek twats

SIL phoned in a panic as some urgent DIY needed done at her house. DH gets up early the next day drives over with the tools and spends most of the day fixing the problem. He leaves the tools at her house (can't remember why but there was a reason).

The next week we arrange to call in and collect the tools but when we arrive she is not in and there is no one about so we drive on home. We are leaving very early the next morning for our summer holiday. About an hour after we get back home SIL on the phone screaming at us to come back and collect the tools. I explain that we had called around as arranged but nobody was there (she had gone to a neighbours), that to go round to hers now was over an hour round trip and we were going on holiday the next day and we weren't coming back. She went ballistic and said that if we didn't come back round that evening to collect them she was paying someone to take the tools to the local dump - these tools cost around £500! I refused to back down and she was screaming so badly at me that I put the phone down.

My poor DF was dragged into it. In the end we went on holiday and he went around to collect them damn tools at great inconvenience to himself.

All this because my DH did her a favour in the first place.

I have, but they never get anywhere with me because they soon learn I tell them where to stick it. 'Can you . . . ?' 'Yes, I can, but I won't. That doesn't work for me.'

A woman at work retired 6months ago, in the new year she was spotted coming out of the rarely used staff showers and had 6 bottles of water filled from the water fountain with her

She'd been using the staff showers every day and filling up water bottles so she didn't have to use her own.

She'd kept hold of her staff pass to gain access.

She lived over an hour away but used her bus pass.

I honestly don't know anyone this cheeky. Which makes me worry it's me!

Txt from friend who's eldest DS is "feisty" and wears her down, "can we come round to yours, DS doesn't fancy going home yet"! They live in the next street.
Couldln't face it, told her "not today dear"
She has before brought him round, just so he can let some steam off. Nipped that in the bud when he kicked me and tried to stick his foot in my daughters mouth...he is six.

Cheeky bastards the lot of 'em! I'm desperately trying to think of a cheeky fucker story but I just can't compete with the absolute comedy gold on here

My SIL is like many of these people. I don't put up with her shit anymore.

When I was at university a "friend" asked to borrow £5 for lunch one day, so I gave it to her. I waited a few weeks for its return and then forgot about it. Towards the end of the year she came into the food hall and gave me back my £5 for which I was very grateful. Then she took it back off me to buy some lunch . I never got that £5 back.

I think killing these people is the only option.

One of my mother's friends used to come to our house to pee in order to save money.
At their house, she made her three (teenage) daughters go to the bathroom at the same time so they only had to flush once.

Wow, the audacity of some people out there is fucking incredible! Who goes to someone's house and even looks in the freezer, never mind helping themselves to the contents! And the old woman rummaging around the gooseberry bush

My in laws do that thing where they bring a load of crap to my house to clear space in their own. Boxes full of stuff that they don't want and then say 'If you don't want it, just throw it out, we won't mind', yes of course you won't, because then it's not taking up space in YOUR bloody bin!

just getting on this thread to read later, looks like a good one :)

Wow, some of you are right pushovers!

This is why I don't really have 'friends'. People take the piss.
