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🤣🤣

😁😂😀

ooo what are good running shoes for wide feet?

Not genuinely CF but the first skip we ever had was many years ago in Surrey it was the smallest one we could get and the stuff we needed to put in it only 2/3 filled it but it was going to be left for a week....it was fascinating....people would dump stuff in it over night then other people would come and take that stuff out and put other stuff in. It seemed to attract night roaming quasi CF ers like a lit lamp.

We had a skip delivered, also live in Surrey.
Our new next door neighbour asked about how to get rid of a washing machine, I mentioned that in the next road at the back of a swimming pool, there was permitted offloading run by the council (many years ago)
Next morning we came down to find their washing machine in it, I was furious and tried to push it out with help from hubby, but just couldn’t.
Couldn’t look them in the face again, let alone pass a good day to them.

Someone asked me on the phone if I would consider 'sacking' a volunteer so his girlfriend could take over her role.

did you not tell them to come and collect it?

@Straycats I would have been straight round and telling them.to get it shifted 😡

Wish we had.

Exactly this! Stop quoting that post. Its getting very very annoying

😂

Vancouvers are perfect!

I did wonder if the more senior EA had somehow missed hungry junior out the loop but juniors emails were very much in a "this is fixable" vein. I think he just wanted to make his mark on the office and winning me round was part of the plan. There was no way I'd take his sofa! I didn't have one of my own at the time and gladly take hand me downs but I no way wanted that particular item!

But if you're only 24 hours from Tulsa where might you be?

I don't buy that he's a CF @Wexone unless I'm missing something?

did he just want the place for two weeks as you were getting to use it?

he would normally get 2 weeks of the year. we all would but he knew along with the rest of the familh we were living there as we were awaiting planning for our house. therefore it was not avaliable for his holiday that year. we had been living in it a year by that stage ( still am living here ) he wanted us to be inconvenienced for 2 weeks so he could have his free holiday..like where we're we suppose to go as we were living here.

Well within an 800 mile radius, I'm guessing, given 8 hours to sleep and a 50mph speed limit. We need a diagram, really.

Facebook has obviously been reading this thread too.

@Akamai Is this a generational thing? Tit for tat giving. Your mum thinks she has to give £200 because you were given £200 ergo you should give it.

My mum has similar odd ways when it comes to gifts.

Similar to this one, some friends that moved back to their country left a piece of luggage with me as they were also coming back, years passed without hearing from them. Then I got in touch as attending a conference at their city so they ask me to bring the massive bag (alongside with all my traveling exhibition props and bag). I agreed to bring it because they agreed to be working as volunteers at my stand.

So what was in the massive bag? 2 umbrella folding camping chairs and a coat that someone had asked them to store when moving back. Interestingly... I was there when they returned the coat to the owner... who having left the UK 8 years before, couldn't even confirm that it was hers...

Not sure if this is good enough for the thread but a small one for you.

backstory,

i had a friend (ex friend now buts that’s a different thread!) who had two sisters both of whom had children.

i met one of the sisters and her children because she used to visit her sister (my friend) semi regularly so while we weren’t friends I used to see her and her children relatively regularly if we were both at the house at the same time. I knew about the other one and that she had children but I had never met any of them.

So anyway one year at Easter I was going in to visit and knew sister was probably going to pop in with the kids that day too so i decided to get a little Easter egg for each of the children as they were on offer when I went to the local shop on the way. I thought it would be a nice little treat for them.
I get to her house and give my friend the eggs to put on the counter for when the kids arrived and her face falls and she says but iv got 6 nieces and nephews there are only enough here for 3 children your going to have to go out and get the rest.
i didn’t really know how to respond. I had never met the other children and I was only trying to do something nice for some children I saw regularly at her house.
I didn’t get more I just vaguely glazed over it.

I still don’t know if she was right ora cf.

Is this the way to Amarillo?

When I bought my first house the main bedroom had built in wardrobes and drawers. The vendor told me that they were taking the matching bedside tables with them. No problem - they were ok but I had seen something in ikea which would work very well. About six weeks after completing she phoned up and offered to sell me the bedside tables (not cheaply) and was really offended when I said no thank you. She persisted for several days and kept saying she didn’t understand why I didn’t want to take advantage of this great offer (or words to that effect)… She even grumbled to our new neighbours, who were less than sympathetic.

The vendors of the house I have just bought wanted to charge £250 for the shed and £50 for the wired in extractor fan. I said no to both and both were left.

No need to wonder any more - she was definitely a CF!!

As they say in Maine, “You can’t get there from here.”

@UPALLNIGHTMNETTING
thanks!

I thought so then and now but I was so surprised at the reaction I questioned myself that maybe I somehow was the one that was odd!
