What is the cheekiest thing someone has asked of you?

[Conniebygaslight]

There have been many but reading on another thread about the CFery of a school mum reminded me of a time when my DC were at primary.
A mum asked if I’d mind picking her DC up from school and taking them to another school a few miles away where they were competing in an intersports thing. My DC were competing too so I agreed assuming she was working.
When we got there, said mum was already there in the front row with her DH & DPs. I asked what was going on, she replied that they wanted a good seat and parking so didn’t want to wait until their DC finished school so they could get their first. I was absolutely stunned…I still laugh at the audacity of this years later🤣🤣

I loved reading this thread, so many good stories. I have a minor one. A group of us was formed in work due to having disabled parking permits with our own allocated spaces at the office location (3 buildings). The car park committee were worried about the lack of spaces available for new comers and had directed one new comer into this group obviously without giving her a space. She had been asking us for any spaces available due to her having to train in the office for three weeks. I said yes as I wkh and my space is available. She then proceeds to ring me and complain about how my space wasn't quite near the building she was told to go to. Then silence as her entitled mind is obviously thinking I could just by magic change the numbers on the bays lol. I referred her back to the car parking committee at this point, but I thought omg.

Seems to be a lot of child care related CFs around. I have one. A neighbour used to periodically ask me to pic up her son as she finished work 30 minutes after school came out. Not really a problem as it was only once a week or so. The 30 minutes seemed to grow into 45 minutes, then an hour. Never an apology, she would just pull up outside and pick her son up. It was becoming a bit of a ball ache tbh as my son didn't really like this lad and didn't want to play with him.
I was looking for a way to say I didn't want to do it anymore when the mother gifted it to me on a plate. One day her car drove past and I thought, oh good, I'll send the child home jn a minute. Then I saw her car drive past again away from the estate. She didn't come back for 4 HOURS!! Then next day she approached me and asked if I had been feeding her son dairy as he was allergic and was feeling unwell. I said yes, he was so hungry I gave him a cheese sandwich which he devoured with relish. She really booted off at me, I had no idea he was (allegedly) allergic to dairy, at age 7 he was old enough to know not to eat it. I was absolutely furious and told her to find some other mug to pick up her child 🙄

My knobber ndn, the other month.

They have a semi, we have a end townhouse so a block of 4. Behind my garden is a passageway for ndn the other side to get their bins out/access their rear garden.

Nobber ndn kept putting her (4) wheelie bins behind my fence, making it awkward for nice ndn to get out. Added to that various piles of junk. We had a bust up last year because of junk which they kept storing behind fence which they did move, and in the interest of neighbour relationships let the bins stay.

Anyway we are all HA tenants. Had a phonecall from HA saying they wanted to come and inspect MY garden as nobber ndn (he let it slip accidentally) had complained about rats coming from the alleyway behind my property. Because I wasn't sweeping the alleyway and keeping it clean. From their rubbish blowing around my alleyway 🤣.

I declined an inspection and moved bins out. When ndn came home they went to move bins back and when I stopped them said they couldn't possibly keep their bins on their own garden because of their hottub, tiki bar and patio set. Their garden is bigger than ours!

So we're from the Uk but live in the US. My DS had a friend at school when he was 10 and when the friend learned we were going to England for the summer to visit his grandparents (my parents) the mother of the friend said to me "So I've been thinking, we can join you on your trip this summer stay at your relatives houses with you and you can show us all the good places in England".

Had an item for sale on Facebook marketplace place. Woman messaged me to say she desperately wanted it but was on holiday.

I said no problem I’ll keep it for you. Contacted me on the day she got home but never turned up even though arranged times. The next day she wanted to come at 7.30am to get the item, and could she pay me in Euros cos she had no £££’s. I said go to cash point on the way, she threw a strop and I told her not to bother coming.

Why?!

What bit of her thought that would be a good idea?!

What happened to their bins after this?

SIL leaving UK to Oz. DH invites to take her out for farewell dinner. We have booked dinner for 3. My kids are already in bed.
We are in London, she drives from a suburb.

This whole scene is like on of those plays all action & dialogue are in one room. Sofa, coffee table, 2 chairs.

We both have children same age - 15 mos.
She arrives with her son (unexpected), an adult female friend and the friend’s 8 year old. Not mentioning a word about the extras people.
Am baffled because we don’t know this other woman or child & don’t know if joining us or what. Woman is saying how mature her child is & i’m wondering - is child joining us at dinner??
I have a baby sitter for my 2 kids, not expecting 2 more and have no beds for them. A very f*cked situation for a baby-sitter & dinner booking.
SIL announces her child not weaned, so she will have to “breastfeed him til he sleeps” and she proceeds to lie on the sitting room floor to feed him & get her kid to sleep! It takes her ages to settle him, I’m trying to make up the sofa into a bed for this 8 yr old. Make very quiet small talk w stranger & child because the baby is supposed to be sleeping.
The child doesn’t settle, not happy sleeping on the floor. The 8 yr old - I don’t think she has had dinner herself. I have no nothing to do for a child that age. No TV in sitting room.

Baby sitter arrives and is like wtf? She can’t sit on sofa. There’s a woman lying on the floor breastfeeding …. Extra kids, one used to co-sleeping w mum is on floor crying.

SIL just like this is totally normal, oh so fun and spontaneous - they all thought they’d stay at ours overnight and have next day out in London! Oh, they have a big house! Without asking!
DH and i ended up needing to cook meal at home, scrounge up beds etc. Paid sitter & sent her home. SIL & friend drank too much, & Instead of a nice night out, I was running a scummy b&b.

The adult woman friend, hope she’s not reading this. Was telling me how she got a vintage Porsche sports-car from her baby daddy, was getting a trailer hitch put on it so she could take her horse & “horse-box” to Spain. She was complaining that car garages refused to put the trailer hitch on, saying would ruin the Porsche. And she is scrounging to sleep on my floor !!

After a very heated debate, me asking why their garden designs were my problem they live on their back garden.

There is much huffing and puffing on bin day, and loud complaining that 'they can't bloody move for bins' and 'all this money spent and we are falling over bins' and my personal favourite 'I've had to move the tiki bar 3 times already, I'm not shifting it again Sam, you will just have to cope'.

Fuck! Your hairbrush? You should have told her you had nits!

I have as little to do with her as possible. She's caused huge amounts of trouble with her lies about me.

What I should do if my child fell out with his best friend when there is a prearranged sleepover in two days.. The child has said to my child some hurtful things like his family wasted a lot of their money to invite him to his party where my child was too scared to complete the high climbing and how he will come to his party and not doing anything just as a payback...Just to say that we are doing so many playdates, sleepovers and eating out with the said child that made mine feel even more hurt. Is it too late to cancel or should I leave them be - just worried that when the said child will be here mine will be mean to him too...

@jolly1234 this is not the thread that will answer.

I think the DD has turned up! It's actually quite acceptable to call someone a spoilt nasty bitch if that's what they are.

Are you one of those people who thinks all stepchildren are poor, suffering wee souls who should be treated with kid gloves?

Christ. I can't get over people leaving their kids with virtual strangers. . Parents or not! I'd not leave my cats without knowing the person.

Mine is really mild in comparison.
Was cat sitting (3) while the couple were on holiday. There had one of those wine membership things, I had just had breast surgery and wasn't supposed to lift anything heavy for a few weeks. Delivery of said wines were dumped round the back. 12 cases containing six bottles per box. Messaged them telling them the situation only to be told "they can't be left there, they'll be stolen"

I accidentally did it with a tumble drier, but that was because the delivery van turned up two hours early and had written my number incorrectly (it was correct on my copy of the docket) so couldn’t ring! I got home an hour before the agreed delivery and my neighbour said he had a parcel for me… luckily he thought it was hilarious and it had only been in his hall an hour…

I live I.n a block of flats which is very community and I have a neighbour who I used to have found a lot she had children a similar age and English isn’t her first language so we would communicate by Google translate but she was learning English and studying ESL so she would often ask me words and so in. We both would feed eachother and were very neighbourly if either baked cakes we’d share and so on.

however she would ask me to my face to have my things. It started with the children’s shoes if she was in my flat and see a pair she would ask (normally typed in to google translate) if they still fit and if not could she have them. This grew i to bigger toys and one day even asked if she could borrow my tv as she had guests and hers didn’t work. She was a lovely lady but the asking fir my things constantly become uncomfortable and in the end I realised she never left my flat empty handed.

although I’m a young single mum and she’s married and they both work. It’s no where near as bad as many stories in the thread but did become super uncomfortable.
she once even asked for the jumper I was wearing 🤣

I think I have one but don't know if it's 🫣 or not!
Detached houses decent amount of space between each house, enough where you don't really see each other. Neighbour asked us to turn our security light off on the side of the house because the light went into his garden and set his dog off.
Explained it's on a sensor so not sure how to turn off - don't know ow if he's being cheeky or I am being unreasonable????

My great aunt and great uncle married in 1939 aged about 18, they had no money and worked in sweatshops in the East End. Great Uncle's father paid for the (I'm assuming very modest wedding). When the evening was over he pulled his son aside, and gave him a bill for all the food!

It takes about 44 hours to drive from NY to Vancouver. So an 88 hour round trip. I really hope she's got a back up plan 😂

I dunno. years ago a neighbour asked me to adjust my security light because it shone into his daughter's bedroom window. I don't have a dog now but I wouldn't want my garden lit up by next door's security light, especially if its the kind that can be triggered by stuff like blowing leaves or a passing cat.

Oooh j thought Of another one I’m not sure if it’s CF but it really upset me . My sister is my parent’s favourite always has been as she loves Taylor swift so much she brought 3 tickets to see her in 3 different places. Anyway I’m not a Taylor swift fan at all but I am a single mum who counts penny’s and for my birthday I asked for money (hoping for £50) to take my children somewhere. Anyway my birthday came and my present was a ticket for me and my sister to see Taylor swift (separately from the tickets she got) . For context my sister had money for her birthday and her ticket was part of my present.
I asked my parents if they thought I liked Taylor swift as if they did I would have understood the thought behind it to which my dad replied ‘no we just went over budget for your sister birthday so thought she could get the present this way’
I’m still going next month and as much as I’m looking forward to the night out. I love going to my local pub (I go one night every two months) as a lone parent and it meant I lost my baby sister for two months going to something I’m not even interested in 🤣

Omg some of these are awful!

I have a couple, the first was for our wedding we had someone put that they had a nut allergy on the rsvp. It was unexpected as I didn't know this so we had to re organise things with the venue for wedding menu etc. We also changed our cake choices as I had wanted a coffee and walnut layer (all a bit of a hoo haa). A few months after the wedding, we were out with this person for a coffee and they ordered a nutty brownie so I made them aware and they just said " I know, I just don't like eating big pieces of nut" No allergy at all!

And the second one that comes to mind. We had a family member ask if DH could drive 2hrs to their house, take them to the airport in their car as it was bigger for luggage etc (3hr round trip) then drive 2hrs home again and then do the same for pick up. Ridiculous, all to save the airport parking fee or a taxi fare.

sorry, how did you lose your sister for 2 months?

Nooooooooooooooooooo 😱
