To ask for your best examples of brass-neckedness to entertain us all on this dull day?

Actually, I had some pretty shitty flatmates a good few years ago (80s/90s). There were the ones who buggered off leaving me with a whole house worth of rent and bills to pay. Then one that didn't know how to clean a bath. . And one who was dealing and got beaten up in our house.

One of the ones who left me with the bills was minging. She'd leave dishes for weeks with mould on them then complain that we made a mess. I'll bet she has a cleaner now and is probably a right twat to her.

I think my male flatmate who never did any cleaning or washing up.

He got really angry with me for washing up a kitchen load of pots and leaving them on the drying rack - without drying them up! After a brief pause I ended up chasing him out of the house that night.

We didn't have much kitchen equipment. So I bought a kind of saute pan to cook my evening meal in. One day I came home and it had a post it note on saying not to use this pan as he would be using it tonight.

Which reminds me of a female flatmate - I bought a clothes airer to dry my clothes on. Whenever I went to use it, her clothes were on it sopping wet. I took them off once and carefully laid them out in the airing cupboard, so they could dry. That made her livid. You just want to scream BUY YOUR OWN!

Fortunately I only have to share with dh and dc now. And they know the rules.

This thread is hilarious, have nominated for classics

Oh I didn't make that very clear. Shit head ex is only ever an ex temporarily. She takes him back after a couple of weeks and it all starts again. She has told me she likes having him around because he always has weed.

Just been to Asda for last minute holiday bits. The lady in front (age56, she said) asked the check out guy was he sad that he had red hair!
What the actual fuckety fuck!!!

She then went on to ask what colour hair his parents had and when he has children he might not have that gene! I was to say the least!!

I asked the guy if he knew the lady (old witch) and he didn't. He said he actually likes it, so good on him!

Bloody phone.

One of my neighbours asked me to write a character statement for her to give to social services to say she was a great mum. She was having problems with her shit head ex who was trying to get custody.

All of this would be fine, but she smokes weed around her kid, has had violent fights with the ex in front of him and keeps her boy off of school whenever she feels like it. I have told her that the violence isn't on around her boy, so she knows that I don't think she is a great mum. I have also had to remove shit head ex from the building when he kicked off in front of the boy.

I told her no. I said I didn't agree with the above things and wasn't happy to lie to social services. She wasn't too pleased.

oldgrandmama Oh my god, shocking!

I'm honestly astounded by some of these stories.

I still remember a housemate at uni demanding to use my mobile phone and actually getting angry with me when I said no (early days for mobiles, phenomenal call charges). I've moved in before them and I remember lying in bed one night listening to them trying to open my door which I'd locked because they wanted to see all my stuff and see if there was anything worth 'borrrowing'.

One of my neighbours asked me to write a cha

I had a friend/ex-work colleague who aspired to be an h'actor. Only he couldn't afford it so wangled some free photocopying plus franked envelopes and sent everyone whom he knew a letter basically asking us to sponsor his worldwide talent, invest in his future and be repaid in his glory and memoirs. Only 85% of his friend group were penniless students who, like him, waited on tables to make needs meet. As far as I know, not one person took him up on his investment.

I did one myself. Which was out on Christmas Eve, planning on walking two miles home but it was throwing it down. (Me, best mate and DH out). Anyway nipped and ordered chinese, had a drunken brain wave and asked if they delivered. Yes was there response so I asked if they could deliver my Chinese to my address but deliver us three as well. They said yes and we offered the driver about £10 (double taxi fare) he just wished us merry Christmas.

Worse. My mum won 4 x premiership season tickets. She had one, dbro had one, dbro best mate had one and my dm bil had another. She happiky let the others havr them. My mum used to have to get taxis and buses due to disability, but as you can imagine there were a queue of people who would happily take the tickets if one of the 4 users couldn't get. In return they would give my mum a lift saving her money. One week she asked if she could have her bil ticket as he was working. His response, yes, but I want £10 for it, it would cost them that anyway. Mum explained about it saving her money and he went nuts saying tough, no money, no ticket. Mum told them where to stick it, he then replied saying he'd sold the season ticket for £350 so now no tickets to have and wasn't it funny, theyd booked a much deserved holiday. Hmmmm I rang the club explained everything and my mum was still classed as having purchased four tickets so they cancelled bil season ticket and reissued my mum a new one. It was a pretty satisfying text to say hope your holiday doesn't cost too much because when whoever you sold it to turns up they will be told its cancelled and it will be confiscated.

My second childminder took the piss on many occasions. Ds was weaned and old enough for cows milk. One day he was extra hungry, so she gave him an extra cup of milk and a biscuit-which she charged me for. I would send him with home made meals-she decided it "didn't look nice" so gave him what her kids had-and charged me. Ds was ill, so I took day off, paid her for that, ok. Her dd was on the books for a model agency, she needed the day to go for her portfolio doing, orthodontic work for modelling,(she was 6) etc. I at this point was getting very as I saw my holidays vanishing. And yes she bleddy charged me.
A friend of mine was then going into cm, so I moved ds to him. (His best mates mum') first cm, screamed blue murder and threatened to report me to council and how was she going to afford to buy her new parrot? Dh went to pick him up on last day and gave her piece of his mind.

I've remembered another one.
Dh and I gave our nieces vouchers for Christmas one year (their request).
Dh gets a phone call from SIL to say one of the vouchers is torn and she's worried the shop won't accept it.
She makes him drive to her house, take the voucher to the shop to see if they would accept it, then drive back to her house to give them back.
I would have told her to take it herself, but dh is too soft.

Found out SIL and BIL had had their baby 6 hours after the infant had been born because a random mutual friend posted a congratulations message on her wall and it appeared in my Facebook news feed. This is DH's brother, he didn't bother to even just text him to let him know he had a new nephew.

The person who had a go at me for not returning a phone call despite knowing I had been in hospital having a miscarriage.

Sat in a pub garden minding my own business when some bloke holds out his hand towards me. He's holding the dog-end of a fag butt.

"Oi love, do me a favour and put this in the ashtray for me."

I looked at him like he'd just asked me to lick dog cack off his shoe and informed him there was a bin right behind him. He actually had the gall to look put out.

Something tells me that if I'd been a bloke he wouldn't have asked me. Cockwomble.

I have a few, mainly from the same person. Tame compared to most on here though!

A lent a baby item to a friend of mine, and it was lent. A while later when I knew her DS would have outgrown it I asked for it back. Turns out she's leant it to her cousin, no asking or apology. Several times i have said "oh has your cousin still got x" and I get a casual " oh yeah, I'll have to get that back"

My sister, incredibly self absorbed person. First one I get a call one day saying she has left some work in (sixth form) school and can I take her to get it. I don't live near her or the school but thought I would help out. Took me and hour to go a few miles because of the traffic. Turns out she couldn't be bothered to get the bus.

Another time she was at her friends when she phoned our grandad asking if he could pick her up and take her to work as she was going to be late. Turned out she didn't bother to leave early enough, phoned our dad who usually jumps when she wants something and he wasn't available so she got our grandad to do it.

Last year I told my DGPs that I would host Christmas this year for them as they have always had me then my family Christmas day. Then I realised my dad always comes too so I said he'll have to come to mine too, so sister (technically she is half sister and lives with her mum but dad always brings her Christmas day) pipes up " and me, I'm coming too" this is the person who doesn't look at my children, speak to them or acknowledge them in any way with a card or small present (despite me always buying for her over the years). I'm not too keen on hosting her tbh! Bumped into her when we were leaving our nans the other day and my children may as well not have even been there. Our nan has been ill and she didn't even have a card for her. Doesn't help that dad buys presents and just sticks her name on. I would never had been allowed to act like that.

I got a Facebook message once from someone who wanted all her friends to help her, as she was struggling paying for the care of her six horses. She really didn't want to lose her horses and so had set up a fund for them and please could I contribute.

At the time I was working three jobs, whilst paying for my travel by train to uni with various hardship loans as my car had broken down and I couldn't afford the repairs. My mum was about to lose her house and my dad was bankrupt.

But still she wanted to know could I help her pay for her expensive animals that effectively were her hobby.

I love horses, but sadly I had to decline as it was more vital to me that I could buy food and prevent my mum becoming homeless.

There was a boy who spent a lot of time at my house.
He was my DS best friend so he was company for him.
He was fed ,watered and taked out on a regular basis.
My son never set foot in his friends house.After about 3 years of this the mother offered to take my son out.When she came to pick him up she asked for the £5 entrance fee,
I gave it because my son would have been disappointed but I wasn't so accomadating after that.

We have a holiday cottage which we rent out, it has a Saturday change over, the cleaner has between 10am and 3pm to prepare the cottage for the next guests, which is a pretty standard set up for holiday lets. We have had to stop ever lending our cottage to friends in need of a holiday because again and again our hospitality was abused. Friends refusing to leave on time. Or leaving our cottage full of filth and rubbish and dirty nappies. Or letting their dogs lunge aggressively at the cleaner. Or whinging when we didn't let them dictate the dates of their free holiday but required them to fit in with the Saturday to Saturday timetable, instead of say Thursday till Tuesday (which would mean two weeks out of the letting calendar.)

The latest is my holiday in two weeks time. I've invited an old friend to accompany me, with whom I have often holidayed in the past. She now lives in the USA so I only see her once a year. She sent me an email saying "Tamara and I will drive to you" to which I replied "who is Tamara?" My friend has invited her 15 year old American adoptive step sister to my holiday, in my cottage with out asking me first. I'm gobsmacked at the brass neck. I 'll go along with it with gritted teeth as it is too late to do anything now as the girl has flown over, but I think less of my friend for the imposition. (With any luck the teenager might be charming - who knows!)
