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🤣🤣

This is long but I need to vent. I had twins and family all wanted to come for their baptism. Our church was doing them on certain weekends only so I scheduled it for a weekend that worked for our family and multiple other factors. Single SIL pitched a huge fit, called DP multiple times telling him we needed to move it and even tried recruiting other family members to call him/me to ask us to change the date. She never gave a reason, just that "it didnt work for her". I was already majorly stressed - nursing two preemie newborns while looking for a new job (was laid off while I was pregnant and we needed my salary), DPs family was all traveling from out of town to stay at our house and I was doing the bulk of the cooking for the party after at our house since money was tight (see several sentences back when I lost my job while pregnant...!) We didnt move the date and SIL came, stayed for a WEEK, never lifted a finger to help or bought so much as a loaf of bread. But the best part was when she arrived and said to me in greeting "Sorry for all the terrible things I said about you Jean. I just didnt want to come this weekend because I had guests last weekend and I knew I wanted to rest up from their visit."

After my shit show of a boyfriend blackmailed me for money (threatening not to give back my family photos that we had in shared storage) and then moving straight in with the woman he cheated on me with, he asked me for money- citing that I had made a lot of money from my house sale.
Yes, I did make a lot of money.
For me, you cock monkey.

@Soubriquet I told them both to sod off x

I had that happen to me too - a bloody great patio set!

I always wish I had something to add to these threads as they're hilarious. One day I'll encounter a major CF and will run to Mumsnet to share the momentous occasion.

My neighbour just this last couple of weeks. He asked whether he could access our garden to replace his garden fence. I agreed and even gave him the code to our side gate so that he could get in while we were at work. He took more than a week very slowly doing it himself as he's far too tight to pay someone to do it - so we had a week of disruption and zero privacy, unable to use the garden during the hot spell etc. Then when he'd finally finished he left a load of old planks and sacks full of soil and rubble in our garden. He got in a complete strop when DH mildly suggested he disposed of them rather than leaving them for us to get rid of. He hasn't spoken to us since, let alone said thank you!

Christ on a bike! That's gob smacking! What did you say?

I think I remember your thread. Did she message you when you were at the airport and when you told her you were away with work she still sent the kids the next day?

If that's the correct thread do you still watch her kids?

Replace a windshield in my garage

New York to Vancouver is about 3000 miles, only about 500 less than New York to London!

I'd offered to help a friend out pre-kids, with babysitting her 3 children aged 1, 2 and 3. She'd just been through an awful divorce, and my babysitting enabled her to see friends and see her new boyfriend.

She kept coming back later, and later. The last straw was when she didn't get back till 1am, on a weekday when I had work in the meeting AND she'd failed to tell me that 2 out of the 3 kids were ill with chickenpox. She made sure they were out of sight until after she'd left.

Mines not as bad as some of these... but years ago when Amazon was quite new my mil phoned us up and asked dh (her son) if he would order something from Amazon for her.....dh said 'ohh is your bank card not working'.....and she said 'yes its fine...i just dont want to risk it being used fraudulently'.....but it was ok for us to risk putting our card details in 🤣🤣🤣

2 involving the same ndn. She had a canary - yellow to match her kitchen.. Yet she was terrified of it.. So could I come in and clean it out every Saturday morning?
And she once borrowed a pair of black satin pj's. Assumed her washing machine was broken... Handed them back all clean a few days later... A while later due asked for those specific ones again.. Apparently her bf liked her wearing them during sex. I kindly let her keep them.

I was just about to type that! I cannot believe how often it happens...
I was living in London and my friend's house was an hour and a bit on the tube. My work was ten min walk from my house. She was definitely not paying either. Not even the tube fee.
She posted lots of passive aggressive stuff on her FB for days after - I did feel bad, but I never could rely on her before or after so I'm proud with myself for saying 'no' that time.

I had a message from a school mum I didn't know too well, asking if she couple drop her kid over to my house as she was working and had no childcare.....,,

Obvs said no! Her kid wasn't even friends with any of mine

My DD 7/8 years old was invited to a birthday party - I knew the mum from a the dance class they went to so not a friend.

I get there, she opens the door holding her baby and says great I'm too ill to do all the party games you're a teacher you'll be good at it and thrust a stero thing at me!

Like a fool I was the entertainment- whilst she sat with her family sniffing having a great time

Not as cheeky as some of these but I acquired my dog from a girl (friend of my ex) giving him away on facebook (tried to sell him first for £350). She was having a baby so the dog had to go.

Some weeks pass & she messages asking if he (now my dog/registered at my vet) could go & stay for weekends!

Some years pass, she messaged my Ex as I was pregnant & asks ‘Will you be rehomi g the dog’ wtf!

He’s 12 now & I’ve had him 10 years.

Friend of mine moved to a new home. I went there a couple of days after she moved in just to drop a card round. The whole place needed some serious decorating and the garden was a mess. She said she would be having a housewarming and would let us know. Couple of weeks later she messaged with a date for a barbecue, and said could we bring all our gardening tools and the lawnmower, and come a couple of hours before it started because she needed us to help her sort out the garden before all her friends arrived.😂

It's threads like this that makes me want to see more state involvement in parenting.
Some of these stories are utterly bewildering.

🤣🤣🤣

Just today actually, parked in a residential carpark, no numbered bays, about 80 spaces, 50 empty , as I'm getting out this women gets out a car next to me and asks how long I will be, I said 5/10mins, replies good because I like to park in that space you're in. I laughed and said half the place is empty , to which I was called rude, did attempt to tell her she was very rude and entitled herself.

I worked as a childminder. My closest friend had a baby and asked me to have her when she returned to work. I offered a 30% discount. (Baring in mind I could only have one under one year old)

I also did several settling in sessions for free. When I started asking about start dates she got cagey.

She booked child into a nursery and not told me!!

October half term she discovered nursery was term time only. I did laugh

Shortly after we moved into our new home, our neighbour asked if they could borrow money from us (thousands) as they'd had a big tax bill. We'd only known them a week 😲

No, i had to stand 🤣🤣

No way!!! Did you move?
