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🤣🤣

Her behaviour is spoilt and very nasty towards dad and Step mum she's 18 self entitled brat for sure expecting to live of her parents and her rude attitude and she doesn't want to go work she's a lazy self entitled brat by the sounds of it you learn to pay your own way in life by getting a job and have respect for others I'm shocked you'd think that was acceptable to be a rude self entitled scrounger.

I hadn't seen this when I replied to you, but blimey you've made some assumptions re this scenario. I said precisely nothing to give the impression DH wasn't doing his share of the childcare. Because he was. (Note past tense btw - DSD is now approaching her 31st birthday.)

Did you tell social services? That’s appalling

Years ago we were replacing a car and, at the same time SIL's car died. She couldn't afford to buy another and, instead of trading our old one in, we gave it to her. We could barely afford this but she lived in a rural area with no public transport so it was a serious problem.

A month later she went off for two weeks on an expensive foreign holiday; when we asked her about this she just said "just because you gave me a car doesn't mean I don't deserve a holiday"

A neighbour used to send her kids round to my house all the time
At first I let them in but it became apparent one of them never went home empty handed! So rather than frisk the little bugger every time they came over, I stopped letting them come in.

The thief wasn't bothered but the other kid (who was half the age of my kids) really felt she had the right to use our pool. Not the right to come and play with my sons, she didn't want them near her!

I would tell her she was too little. I sometimes said she could play in it only if her mum got in with her. (That never happened of course)

One time she came round in her swimming costume and told me her mum had said she could use my pool.

I said unfortunately your mum isn't in charge of my pool (words to that effect, can't remember word for word, it was 15 years ago) and I sent her home.

Not me but my daughter...her friend got into some debt and lost her car as she couldn't keep up the repayments, so the finance company took it back. She asked my daughter to take out car finance on her behalf and she would pay her back monthly!
My daughter said no but felt terrible about it as the friend has two children, so I said if the friend desperately needed to borrow a car any time to let me know as I live round the corner from her and could get a lift to work if the friend had an appointment or something she needed a car for.
Friend says oh thanks, how nice of your mum. Then proceeds to ask to borrow it for three months solid until she can save for a new one! I declined.

@EnglishBluebell I am completely speechless! Unbelievable cheek! And all you wanted to do was sell a basket. Words fail me. I hope you are enjoying your mobility scooter that you saved so hard for. I can't believe the pushiness of some people and the leaps they make in their minds!!

🤣🤣🤣
I'd love to see that reference!

A girl "Jane" who was part of the same friendship group at school. My maths used to get set a maths gcse past paper to do as homework in year 11 and we'd go through the answers in class. There was a set amount we were expected to complete. Occasionally a friend and I would get stuck and consort with each other the next morning before handing them in. Another friend in a higher set would sometimes help us out. Jane would sit there and refuse to help, saying we wouldn't learn, it was cheating and it wouldn't help us in the exam etc. Fine, she was probably right.

1 year-18 months later we were at different 6th forms. I'd broken up for summer already and was up late watching movies and playing online. A random msn msg from Jane, who never spoke to me anymore. Hi, how was I, could I write a presentation for her - due in the next morning-in a subject I'd never studied and knew nothing of. Took great pleasure in saying no- she wouldn't learn anything, it was cheating and that she should fuck off.

Random woman at uni whos house I has to walk past to get home from Tesco. Would then-BF and I walk her (unseen) dog. We just needed to take him then and there (we were laden with shopping) for 90 min or so and return him. We said no and she was outraged. Suggested we drop the shopping and come back. BF said no as we had plans after we'd put shopping away. Got told we were awful and unneighbourly etc.

That is the most horrific and insensitive thing I have ever heard. I am so sorry for your loss, and glad you don't need to deal with that person ever again. I hope she thinks about it regularly, and realised what a twatwaffle she is.

😯

This is literally taking the P.

sorry, couldn't resist...

I did it for a friend of mine. And then she ghosted me. So I guess she was a CF!

I wonder if she was using drugs...??? 🤔 😁

This happens on our local nextdoor app always the same people one woman even had lightbulbs delivered to her. She was offered a lovely sofa and said I will only take it if its a corner sofa but yet she claimed to have nothing. One cheeky woman even set up a go fund me for to decorate her flat. She woman was a regular on the papers ex nurse who was struck off after a little boy died in hospital in Leicester or Sheffield. She was begging for a mobility scooter but yet had one in newspaper pics. Selling incontinence products she got from the nhs on the app also. She left after members googled her name and called her out she was doing the same thing on twitter and local Facebook groups. Lots of people dropped food,household and money for bills to her flat over a couple of years. Its cruel because when genuine people ask for help it makes people wary if they are just another scammer.

I'm astounded by some of these stories but can't stop reading them! Mine are very mild in comparison.

1. A friend had a fortieth birthday afternoon tea. Her sister was organising it and asked everyone to pay £12 or so each for tea and a generous helping of sandwiches, cakes and scones. Another friend who I was travelling with to the party contacted me in advance and said that she couldn't afford the £12 so could I pay for mine and she would just share my afternoon tea. She is notoriously stingy and always on the lookout for a freebie and I knew that if I agreed, she would just gobble mine all up and I'd be left with nothing. I just didn't answer. On the train on the way there, she brought it up again and I changed the subject. The birthday girl's sister came and got the money from her. When she opened her purse, it was brimming with ten pound notes.

2. Where I used to live, a woman who lived nearby used to wait outside her house and if I tried to park in a space near my house (no parking restrictions or anything, just a normal street you can park on for as long as you like but it was often difficult to get a space) she would come out of her house and start yelling at me. She would say my car made too much noise and it was waking up her daughter (she would say this even in the middle of the day) and that she needed the space more than I did and demanded that I park streets away so that she could be guaranteed a parking space. She used to screech into my face. Luckily she moved house after a while, thank God!

Just thought of another one. Was in my front garden a couple of years ago. The woman who lives over the road who I hardly know came out of her house and crossed the road to speak to me. She mentioned my cat and kept referring to him as "she". I said oh sorry but our cat is a boy. She said no, your cat is a girl. Bemused, I asked her how she knew. She said I picked it up and had a look!!!! Then she asked me if she could have my cat "for her Mum". I said no. She asked why! I said because he's our cat and we love him and we're not just going to give him away! She stropped off. Still haven't got over it. So bloody weird.

@JonHammFan My daughter has always been a keen artist and I would absolutely be the same and not let it go.

I have several.
The first is many years ago when we had a family day out, (me, dh, and 2dds) at a big city museum. The car park was packed when we arrived but eventually we found a space in a secluded corner that was shielded from the main road by high hedges. When I got out of the car, I realised that the car door next to us was slightly open. I immediately thought this might be a car theft in progress, I looked into the car (passenger side) and there was a handbag and wallet that looked to have been rifled, with a large amount of cash and credit cards strewn about. It struck me that I might have disturbed the thieves and they might still be around. I looked into the back seat to see a small baby, maybe three months old, asleep in a car seat.

I told DH to take our kids to the museum entrance, about 60-70 metres away and alert the staff and call the police. Around 5-10 minutes later dh, dds and a museum manager return – the manager obviously now fully believing what we are saying. Suddenly a woman came running out, chasing them across the carpark saying that she hadn’t wanted to wake the baby so she could have her coffee in peace. So she had left her car door open (for air apparently), and left her handbag and money visible as catnip for car thieves, to go to the café on the second floor of a building 60-70 metres away where she would not have been able to see the baby to be undisturbed. As she was garbling this story another museum employee came out with 2 children under 7 who had been left unsupervised in the exhibits for a while. According to the woman they were “playing” while she had her coffee (out of sight.) We left while the employees were still arguing with her.

I work in a school. We once had a mum phone the office to ask if someone could walk her child home as the baby was asleep and she didn’t want to wake him.

This has reminded me!

I once phoned up a Mum to tell her that her daughter was ill and needed to go home.

She said 'so you'll bring her home then?'

I said 'no, you need to come and collect her'.

I don't know what she thought I would do with the rest of my class while I was out bringing her daughter home!

The same Mum didn't send in a packed lunch when we were going on a school trip - despite much communication home explaining the whole thing.

When I phoned her she told me that I needed to sort it out.

😂

Did you do it?

Just want to say just watched two kids approx 10 and 8 come into the cafe where I am having lunch. Cafe is self serve. They sat at a table and opened a carrier bag and produced two sandwich packs obviously bought elsewhere 2 packets of crisps not a brand sold in this cafe and 2 drinks and proceeded to have their lunch. Packed all back into bag and left. Staff didn't seem to notice and yes it wasn't busy as usual but was definitely very cheeky. I mean if I tried that I would definitely be caught and asked to leave.

Sweet Jesus christ that's unbelievable 😳 the poor children
