Best CF stories please

[Changedagain876]

My CF SIL has pissed me right off. Please tell me your CF stories to make me feel better.

One of my neighbours several houses away worked in the same building as I did, I’d offered her a lift home a couple of times and if I saw her in the morning, a lift to work.
She started waiting by my car outside my house and outside work, at first I was ok with it, but it began to happen every day. One day after work, she got in my car whilst on her phone, she continued her phone call all the way home (20 minutes) and got out still on the same call.
I called her out on it the next day by explaining how she was rude, I was pleasant in the way I explained it and she didn’t wait by my car again.

I almost did after I realised she was just standing round (I didn't mind helping out a bit to get stuff set up as I was already there delivering party supplies) Then she disappeared and there was no one to do it. (And as rude and badly behaved her kids were, it was a shame for the party guests.)
Avoided her and her children completely after that.

Not as bad as your story, but I dog-sat for a friend's relative as an unpaid favour and their flat didn't have a scrap of either food or toilet paper (not even a packet of biscuits!) so I had to immediately walk half a mile to the nearest supermarket having just travelled an hour after work to get there. There was also only one hand towel to be found in the entire flat so I couldn't have a bath or shower.

Just so cheap and mean. We'd agreed that they'd leave money to cover the cost of the fresh pet food I'd need to buy (they had other animals apart from the dog who required a certain item that goes off very quickly) and they'd actually counted out the exact amount that item would cost in small coins. Not a huge deal, just felt petty to literally count out small coins, rather than just round up to the nearest pound. Like God forbid I should make 1p profit.

I also found out later they'd been telling our mutual friends "Oh but it's so nice for poor DaniRabbity that she had the chance to stay in a lovely home" like I'm some kind of poor relation, when at the time I was living in a central London penthouse apartment directly overlooking the Thames in a building that had both a doorman and a private swimming pool. Their flat was perfectly fine but just a bog standard one-bedroom flat in a suburb in Zone 6.

Another dinner one - old friend of mine used to get everyone to bring food for a event she would host (someone would bring starter, main, dessert or drinks ect) fine but she always asked you to bring way over the amount needed incase anyone wanted seconds and was very specific on what you were allowed to bring (you couldn't chose the type of dessert you had to bring what she dictated) and any bread bough had to be of the finest range or she would comment.

Then used to say "oh run out of food sorry no seconds" and then next day she would brag has so much leftovers her and DH would be eating well for weeks.

I wouldn't mind if they didn't have money or money was tight but she used to comment on them having so much money to burn and say often comment how small her friends houses were and she was sorry they were on so little salary.

Thank god I don't have to listen to that nasally voice anymore and thankfully we aren't friends.

Had lockdown wedding last year. Reception was cancelled as venue weren’t allowed anyone in apart from ceremony & we were allowed 15.
we were really lucky that for the photos outside, the venue bent the rules a little & we were allowed champagne, I ordered 3 bottles as most of the guests were driving or underage so thought this would be plenty, likely with some left over. We were only meant to stay for 30 minutes.
Had a full bottle unopened at the end & gave it to DH friend to share with his DP when he got home, felt sorry for him not being able to drink on the day & guilty that his DP couldn’t come due to the covid rules.
3 days later I was billed for an extra 2 bottles at £125 each, on investigation with the venue the CF had ordered 2 bottles on the sly & must have put them in his car while we were having a quick walk around the grounds to get some photos taken.
was gutted that we’d given him the other bottle, that just made it feel so much worse.

Went to my FIL’s partners sons birthday party a few weeks back. Only people there that DP and I knew where FIL, his partner, her son and daughter and that was it. Random lady that neither of us know walks over (not drunk if that adds to the strangeness of this) and tried to pry my 3 month old out of my arms to hold him. I had to elbow her off of him and back up to stop her from taking him and the CF told me not to be so precious and that kids love her. I told her to stay away from my son and left with him and DP 30 minutes into the party.

I went in a day trip to the beach with another mum. Took our kids. I drove there and back;

• she didn’t offer a penny for petrol or parking


• At the beach she sat like royalty and ignored the kids


• at lunchtime we ordered lunch, ate and when the bill arrived she refused to pay as she didn’t “enjoy” it as the kids were there.


• We then went to get ice creams and she ordered an ice cream then stood back and told the man I would pay

that was the last time I done anything with her CF

That's outright theft! Did you confront him about it?

Mum got friendly with me at the school gates . Offered to have my son round for tea with her son and arranged play dates over the summer holidays.

First day of new term boy tuns up on our doorstep early in the morning while I was getting kids breakfast and sorting them out . saying he was going to walk with us there and back . His mum dropped him off This went on for a year . Never saw or heard from this mum again . Turned out his Nan didn't want to walk him to school everyday or pick him up she lived just up the road from us so he went there after school .

Never got a thank you or even a box of chocs . Saw mum in town a few times after they had left school. and she just blanked me

Husband wouldn’t let me! & this is how CFs are enabled to behave this way, it wasn’t the first CF incident by a long shot but this was taking the mick beyond anything I ever expected

This is one that has literally made my jaw drop. I really hope you pulled him up on it, utter cheeky fucker.

She didn’t pay
because she didn’t enjoy it
because her kids were there?!

never have I ever, oh my god!

The mad part is, he doesn’t even like the stuff much! I have no idea what he wanted it for.
I can laugh about it now but at the time I was livid!

I’m a teacher.
Parents arrive at school and see all the children dressed up/own clothes/wearing red or something similar.
Parent “Is it (insert occasion) day today?
Me - Yes
Parent - I didn’t receive a letter
Me - There was a letter, a text message and it was on the class app
Parent - I don’t look at the class app / too many letters go home / his bag is always full, there’s lots of things that aren’t relevant to me
Me- But there are also lots of things, that are relevant
Parent - Next time can you let me know if there’s something happening
Me - Yes, there will be a letter, a text message and it will be on the class app 🙄

Did you/DH ask for that money back? And how did he think you'd not find out he'd stolen from you? 🌹

Are your husband and the graceless champagne theft still friends? If so be careful to count your valuables if he visits your house. 🌹

Hahahahaha banjo practice made me laugh . Had a shit day thanks for making it better

keep em coming everyone!

Why would you let anybody pay by card if you already have the cash out? I’ve never let anybody do this in groups I’ve been in.

’Shall I pay by card?’
No we’ve already got enough cash. Sort yourself out’.

End of.

My DM's old neighbours were having an extension built and took a fence post down and was coming into her garden to fill their buckets up... she soon cut the supply off 🤣🤣.

Reading these is just pissing me off. Can we start a thread where the CFs have got their comeuppance?!

A cousin of mine was a single mother and living unhappily at home with her parents. I was looking to buy my first property. My aunt and cousin were very keen for me to buy something with my cousin, even picked out various two bedroom properties. Not sure how she intended to pay her half as she didn't work. Then she announced that I would have to share a bedroom with her so her son could have his own room.

Another friend wanted to buy a flat with me. Looked at various properties. All going well until she announced I would have to go out on certain nights of the week so she could have the place to herself when her boyfriend visited.

Another friend used to regularly borrow clothes for social events. Put a stop to that when she returned my dress wrapped in plastic to look like it had been dry cleaned, reeking of cigarettes from the chain smokers she lived with.

Same friend wanted to use the club where I had the catering contract for her engagement party. Could she get it free of charge and could I cater for half the numbers she was inviting as she didn't want to pay me the full charge?

Don't see these people anymore. 🤔

Wow such mad stories.
My one is ds's friends mom asked could he stay with us on Friday night and l said sure. Late Saturday evening there was no sign of anyone coming to collect him. I messaged the Mom asking was she able to come or would l drop him home. Mom messaged back saying l can't come we are in Barcelona for the weekend. She sounded affronted l was even asking. I was gobsmacked as she had never mentioned being out of the country or him staying the full weekend.

One friend didnt trust the internet or paypal or online banking so was more than happy to with draw the money, come to mine and ask me to buy loads of things off the internet. Literally a lot of things even wanted me to start a ebay account and sell for her!

Sil has form for texting what mine want for xmas and sending a card with a 5er in and a second hand, well read book thats ripped and bent in the pages while I spend 70 on football kit for hers! I hate when she saves gifts people gave hers for presents and reusues them while agreeing to get mine the gift i suggested (but doesnt) when i have to get hers exactly what they asked for or it will ruin their Xmas

That one deserves a call to social services.
