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🤣🤣

Found a driving license in my street, so went to take it back to the address listed on it. Her mum answered the door snatched it off me - Told me to fuck off, wish I hadn’t bothered. My mum who is disabled and struggling to walk, asked by her neighbour to go feed and clean up after her dogs litter of 8 pups. Feeding, cleaning up multiple times a day for an entire week while she swanned off to Spain. Not a word of thanks or offer of payment but €1 fridge magnet. It killed my mum walking there multiple times a day and cleaning

I’m not sure to be honest! Can’t say I’ve ever seen the answer to that one 😂

@Æthelred

You sound absolutely unhinged.

@Æthelred a child injured themselves and asked you to call an ambulance and you refused? And you said you wouldn't have even if they'd broken their neck?!

@Æthelred I can't believe you posted that! You left a young girl in pain and then got her kicked out of her home! Shame on you!

He bought petrol but paid nothing towards insurance, returned it one day after agreed when I broke up with him - brake bulb gone, tyre puncture, mud all over the seats, running on petrol fumes and with more miles on the clock in 3 months than I’d done in the previous 2 years!

What a prize he was!

I think that poster may have a dubious relationship with the truth. I doubt a HA would kick out a tenant for their DD playing a fairly common teenage game. I would also be surprised if no one but Ethelred had a landline.

Hmm. Editing fail there...

The actual clothes off your back - Good God!🙀

Agreed

What a weird post

@SheilaFentiman I thought the teenage girl was the tenant?

I'm in a new house been here just over a year. The garden fence panels on one side need replacing - I've been saving up as much as possible to get it done before the summer. Neighbour has moaned several times about it and has added to the issue banging great huge nails in the fence panels to hang her poxy fair lights..! Guy came out to quote for the job, good friend of a friend, I was happy with the price and we were chatting away in the garden. Said neighbour pipes up, save the not so bad fence panels for me as we can use them in our garden as the back panels have collapsed in her own garden.. he can fit them at the same time.. erm I don't think so! She see nothing wrong with this and expected me to get her frigging fence fixed free of charge. The icing on the cake was she wanted the nice side showing in her garden and painted to match.. 😆 needless to say none of that happened and I also put up a big wooden gazebo blocking out their hideous conservatory for our hot tub much to her despair.

By any chance, was it a mate of theirs drawing the tickets? 🤔

Someone I knew a little from a sports club got hold of my phone number and rang to ask if he could use my bank account for gambling. He would place the bets and keep all the winnings, but I was welcome to use his tips to place my own bets.

Turned out he was a professional gambler and none of the bookies would take bets from his own account. He was later banned from all the courses in the country for fixing races.

Did she bring a lunch for her dd?

Lots of adults do this. I wouldn’t even blink at two kids doing this, and I’d think good on them for disposing of their rubbish themselves and not leaving it behind as so many adults do.

When I was a youngish teenager (14 or 15), a friend’s mum was going back to her old country (in the far east) for a month over the summer. She decided that I would move in to supervise my friend (who was a school year below me but only a few months younger). But never asked - she referred to me helping out in a vague way then wandered off. It was only when my friend said that she was expecting me to move in - but I’d be allowed to go home in the daytimes - that I worked it out. My Mum rang her and said I wasn’t allowed to do that and she had to organise adult supervision. I don’t think she was very pleased. It was weird.

Way back in the 80s I was a newly qualified teacher in my first job. I lived very near my school - which caused quite a few problems with the children (11-14), but not usually with their parents.

One Easter Monday we were having a lie in and it was about ten am. Someone knocked on the door despite all the curtains being closed - we ignored for a bit but they were persistent. Eventually my then DH went downstairs and opened it.

There was a mother with her children, one of whom (not in my class) had just come home from the French exchange and wanted to write a letter in French to thank his host family, and they thought I could just quickly translate it for him as they were off out. So I had to come downstairs in my dressing gown and turn my brain on while my ex made coffee (didn't offer her any though.)

When I told my colleagues, they told me I should have said - "Come and see me when we're back at school - preferably at 3.30". But I was young and green, so I didn't.

Wow that's insane!! I would love to have seen the look on your face when he asked you 🤣🤣

My grandparents bought my sister & I some premium bounds our birthday. My sister had lost hers when she'd moved house & the cheeky cow asked for mine, yeah the answer was a definite nope😑She really wasn't very happy when I said no & wouldn't just hand them over to her like she expected.

She brought her 2 yogurts I seem to remember. Batshit.

I think you might be underestimating this by about 37 hours...just saying 😆

🤣

My fingers are itching to ask the ‘44 hours’ posters to please RTFT. 😂

Oh bless you, @LookItsMeAgain it was a joke.

The "friend" who sent a (quite generic, written like it could be sent to everyone) message out of the blue asking for £50 as they were absolutely skint and struggling. (They and their partner both worked. I was working and single.)
I naively said yes and asked how I could get the money to her. No response. I asked a few more times, no answer.
In the following weeks on Facebook she posted photos of her new car and a spontaneous trip to the seaside. (At the time these were things I certainly could not afford) I assumed she was financially sorted.
No, a message again "hi babes, could I please have that £50? I'm so stressed and skint! Really appreciate it!"

Politely declined, said it had gone on my bills. Every few years I get a random "how are you babes?" message from her.
