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

One more from me - we were getting married and my family were paying for the whole thing, including amazing weekend full use of a beautiful country house.

We decided that we would have a party the night before the wedding in the house for the bridal party, as a thank you to everyone for coming and to introduce everyone before the big day. I said we would be providing the food and drink, and we'd already made lists of lovely food to make for our guests.

MIL-to-be phones me three days before the wedding to ask what we'd be serving at the party, because she wanted to know now whether she needed to send out for a fish supper for her DH if he didn't like the food.

I had a little one yesterday.

I was in the station at a sandwich concession stand with my two whingy DDs. I was clearly first in the queue with a pile of bottles of water, pre packed sandwiches etc. My 3 year old was having a meltdown (can I say that, can't remember) and 99% of the population just look with compassion and would never queue jump as they know your pain.

Anyhow a horrible imperious middle aged woman appears and from behind me shouts, "one coffee to go, now!" And hands the money over my shoulder to the cashier. For a moment the cashier hesitates and then decides to serve this woman first

However! Said cashier then decides to give woman her comeuppance by, after taking imperious woman's money, serving me slowly (I had then realised I needed some croissants and had no change so had to use my card and after my transaction was finished she sauntered over to the coffee machine and asked if she wanted milk. The woman looked furious.

Silly bitch and thanks to the sales assistant who made my day.

How funny this thread should come up!

I have just been queuing in the post office, only 2 windows open, quite a long que
This woman comes along, I'm the next to be served and there are about 7-8 people behind me.
Instead of joining the back of the que, she goes to the window from the other end iykwim, and therefore doesn't que at all
Well I was and marched up to the woman and pointed out that there was infact a que that we had all been waiting in for the past 10 minutes and she had pushed in
"Don't worry darlink she says! I just have a question to ask! I'm not buying anything
The cashier was and also informed her of the que! but woman chose to ignore her and carried on with her questions anyway
Brass neck doesn't even begin to describe it!!

Brilliant thread!

A friend asked to borrow my blow-up bed for a festival. I said sure no problem, just come over and pick it up when you want.

She says 'I can't drive at the moment, can you possibly drop it off?'. She lives half an hour's drive from me but I was going to town anyway so I said no problem and dropped it off.

Two months later I'm getting ready to go to a festival and realise she still has blow-up bed. I text her to ask for it back.

She says 'sure, but you'll need to come and get it on Saturday morning and it will need to be before 8am as I'm working nights and going to bed after that'.

What!?!

So I get in car on a Saturday morning at 7am, drive over to pick it up. She answers door in pyjamas and hands it over with no apology for keeping it so long or making me come and get it.

I get home unroll it - it's wet and mouldy. She never bloody dried it or cleaned after it got wet at the festival in the rain.

Unexpected, I'm not scary, honest. I just look scary unless I make the effort to smile.

I'm really quiet in RL.

my pil who turned up for a 'visit' 2 weekends ago along with their duvet and pillows telling us they had decided it would be best if they stayed as they don't like driving in the night.

They arrived at 10am and live an hour away

2 Christmases ago I hosted a big family get together at ours, lasting several days. On Boxing Day I suggested we go out for a meal so I could have a bit of time off cooking for everyone on top of looking after our 2 month old.

When the bill arrived, my "that's £20 each, then" was met with stony silence and raised eyebrows.

Apparently, since I was the person who wanted a bit of time off from being everyone's skivvy, I should have picked up the tab! Needless to say, I haven't offered to host anything since....

when I was an aupair..... got left with the 3 kids (under 10) alone for two weeks while parents went away - INCLUDING ONE WEEK OF HALF TERM!!! - and they left me £20 for food and petrol etc.... then asked me to provide reciepts. Two kids still in nappies!!!!!!

but to top it all off when they returned we were out, so they fucked off to the pub and left me a list of jobs to do like "clean the slats of the blinds in our bedroom"

I think there was literally steam coming out of my ears.

I want Youthecat to be my friend! I certainly don't want to get on the wrong side of her!

I had a friend who asked me to babysit for her on one if the rare occasions I had to myself as my (then) two DCs were at their dad's for half-term.

Turned up as arranged only to find her HUSBAND was off work and was upstairs on the computer. Apparently he didn't like being left on his own with his own son (!)

Luxluna are you the local RSPCA?

Next door neighbour came round one Sunday afternoon (her nickname was 'shameless') knocking on the door as per usual. My mum fobbed her off but saying I wasn't in. She came back 20 minutes later, I answered the door (as I knew she would just keep coming round until she saw me). She informed me that they had just bought a new kitten and I wanted to know if she could HAVE the following items from me,

Cat litter tray
Cat litter
Cat toys
Kitten food
Baby milk (kittens are supposed to love it)
Cat bed
Cat Collar
Full fat milk (If didn't have any baby milk)

I said NO to all requests, to which she replied that all the shops are shut.
its was around 1pm....

She was really put out that I couldn't offer her any of these items. Although I would think that my own cat would of been far more put out when she would realised that all of her belongings had been given away.

Last AP, before he was sacked. Aged 24.

1. Wanted 20 a week on top of the 110 I was already paying him recompense for hanging the washing out in nice weather rather than putting it into the tumble drier.
2. He borrowed our car to take his girlfriend to a firework display, and the car developed an alternator problem and wouldn't start. While he was waiting for the recovery service to come,which I had shelled out something like 160 to join as an emergency member, the police stopped to check there hadn't be an accident or anything like that. He was shocked that the police didn't organise a hot drink and a blanket for them both (they hadn't bothered to take much with them in terms of coats, cash and so on, just assuming other people would bail them out if there was a problem. She was working as a vet, so not short of cash).
3. After I had sacked him for being nasty to me every time my husband's back was turned, and for not doing any work and just sitting in his room pissng about on the internet when he was supposed to be looking after the kids, he demanded I pay for his flight home, and once I had done that (anything for an easy life) he insisted I paid for two pieces of luggage on Ryanair as well, at something like 60 each.

My god, he was a miserable grasping bugger.

Worked for a woman who decided to use my wages as petty cash whist we were on business trip. I was 22 and v v naive. I was also paid a pittance. She never paid me back - over 22 years later, I haven't seen a penny...

I resigned.

I was in the bank recently and a woman blatantly pushed in front of me in the queue. I said 'excuse me, I was here first' to which she replied 'yes but I have more money than you therefore I'm more important'.

It took me a full ten seconds to decide what to do whilst I picked my jaw up from the floor and ended up barging in front of her whilst sticking my nose in the air and ignoring her tuts.

Broke up with boyfriend who had been cheating on me. He assumed my dad and I would still b perfectly happy to do a five hour round trip to Heathrow. After all how else was he supposed to get there?

Years ago I had to leave my then partner due to domestic violence.
I was in a bit of a state but managed to find a flat ,hire a small van and got some help to remove some stuff from the home we shared.
My new place was round the corner from my sisters house.
I asked if maybe she and her OH could meet me there and help me carry some of the heavier stuff up the stairs...she said she was busy but her OH would want paying if he came.I said forget about it because I didn't have any money left.
About a year later I got a new partner,he was a joiner.
I had only been with him a couple of weeks when my sister said bring your new boyfriend round tonight because I want a couple of shelves putting up and said her OH is too tired when he gets in from work so they won't get done.
I told her no and the reason why.
She had the cheek to be moody with me.

youThecat that's hilarious

I once leant a double buggy to a friend and it was most definatly leant.

Asked her for it back 2 years later and she had
Sold it on.

Lord, I hope she's been sacked then! That takes the biscuit.
