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 just remembered one. I had my phone stolen at a festival. When I got to work on Monday, I thought I'd just try calling the number. A girl answered.

I said, "Hey, that's my phone."

She said, "No, it's my phone."

And me being the complete twat that I am when it comes for sticking up for myself, I didn't know what to say. I just sort of muttered "Oh, OK then" and hung up 😁

CF school mum was always taking advantage of my friend who was too nice for her own good. She was a rude cow as well, I met her socially on 3-4 occasions and each time she pretended we had never met before. She had twins in my son’s class. I had an arrangement with my friend that we shared the Beavers run as our boys were friends and both went, we decided it was easiest to take turns to get them from school, feed them, drop to Beavers then pick up and drop home. This way we had every second week “free” (we both had other kids). My friend gave me a heads up that CF has asked her if her boys could be included in the arrangement and friend has the sense to tell her she had to ask me.

When she phoned I had some fun pretending to have no clue who she was. Eventually we got to the crux of it and she asked if her boys could join the lift share. Great, I said, as you have two kids and we have one each do you want to do your two weeks consecutively or is it easier for you to do alternate weeks? I said how delighted I was to only have to do 1/4 weeks from on. Of course the CF had no intention of taking our kids, she thought we would happily take her two every week (including feeding them) with no return. My son wasn’t even friends with hers. She was so pissed off when I laughed and told her she was delusional.

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.

Edited

The house we live in now, vendor offered to sell us the white goods. Was planning to rip out kitchen as soon as we moved in and would never use a strangers washing machine and dryer (just gives me the ick) offered them to us for €2K and they weren’t exactly new. We says nope you’re ok we’re buying our own. Left them anyway as they obviously realised they’d get sweet FA selling them on and had no use for them themselves

We also had a vendor try and sell us a load of stuff they couldn't be bothered to get rid of. When we said no they left it anyway. Including some HUGE wardrobes. To be fair we ended up using them in the spare room so saved us lots of money in the end!

If you are going that way, I could do with a lift.

@Ginkypig similarly I have a DP who has a great niece (3) whom I see very often, play with and have a bond with, she singles me out, is always excited to see me yadda yadda.

Within my DP's friendship group I also occasionally see one of her friend's (much older)kids, and also there's a distant friend I've met twice whose kids I've met once very briefly (think we arrived at distant friend's house to pick him up to go out as babysitter was putting them to bed).

I came across a little packet of cute finger puppets while I was having a bit of a house clearout. I messaged DP 'Does Sophie (great niece) like finger puppets? Just found some that I must've stashed for a gift and forgotten about?'

DP 'Yeh she does but you can't give something to Sophie without giving something to Mary, Jack Jill and Eustace too!'

WTF yes I can-those kids wouldn't know me if they fell over me FFS.

Pistachiovillian · 21/05/2024 13:56

@andyourpointiswhat I want to be like you with these CFs!

"Gay" best friend of 5 years asked me to be his f*ck buddy. This after years of getting changed in front of him, sharing a bed, being lead to believe he was 100% into men. Probably one of the top most disturbing conversations of my life. We No longer see one another.

IncompleteSenten · 21/05/2024 14:56

Some men are unbelievable aren't they?
Bloke once asked me to fuck him because, and I quote, he'd not got his end away in two years.

I mean, what the hell are you supposed to say to that? "My god you poor man, by all means have at it" as you whip your knickers off and fling them across the room?

However did you resist such a tempting proposition?

I had one who I vaguely knew Facebook me (when I was on FB) and told me if I bought him a case of cider he would come and have sex with me for it since I was single 🤣

I declined his kind offer.

IncompleteSenten · 21/05/2024 15:51

"However did you resist such a tempting proposition?"

It was tough, not going to lie. Felt like my civic duty.

"I had one who I vaguely knew Facebook me (when I was on FB) and told me if I bought him a case of cider he would come and have sex with me for it since I was single"

Oh fuck I misread that. I thought he offered you booze. He wanted you to pay him for sex 🤣.

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 21/05/2024 15:56

I had a guy I vaguely knew from years ago, send me a Facebook massage that simply said "Fuckoffee I want to shag u so bad". This was about 4 years since the last time I'd seen him.

Did he think that's all it was going to take?

Edited

🤣 I mean I've never used a gigalo before so don't really know the etiquette, but I didn't think they demanded a case of strongbow before, unasked for, sex 🤣

I definitely think your guy beats mine in the audacity stakes though. Is this like national service or something? We must keep all men serviced at least on a monthly basis for fear their balls explode.

My mum has just reminded of of the CF she had living next door before she moved house about 12 years ago.
Neighbour (mum, dad and two kids) and my mum and dad had semi detached properties with a low fence in-between the back gardens. The gardens are really big -mum and dad's mostly lawn and next doors mostly flower/veg patches with a small lawn area.
My niece was around the same age as the little girl next door and when niece visited they would often play with each other. Neighbour would chuck child over the fence (without asking my mum) and they would play on the swing set and trampoline my mum had put in for the grandkids. A bit annoying to never be asked if it was ok for the child to come over, but hey ho. Mum and Dad weren't friends with next door beyond hello and goodbye and they always came across as a bit weird and uptight. There was never a reciprocal invite for niece to next door -presumably because they were obsessive over their garden planting.
Anyway, after a while the kids from next door would start turning up when niece wasn't there and were helping themselves to the toys and equipment in the garden. Mum would be making her dinner and would look out to see them on the trampoline or staring though the back window into the house. Once she found the girl totally naked in the play house on her own. She would always tell them to go home immediately and not to come back without an invite but they persisted. I'd even caught them in the garden when my parents were out and sent them home.
It all came to a head when my niece happened to hop over the fence one day (invited by the children) and my mum heard the dad really shouting at her for being rude and coming over uninvited. They were sitting on the grass playing Top Trumps, not trashing the place. She lost her shit and asked him why he thought it was acceptable for his children to be in her garden constantly uninvited but not the other way around and he had the audacity to say that the play equipment was an open invite and that his kids enjoyed mums garden more! He genuinely couldn't see the issue with his kids helping themselves and using mums garden as the local playground. He also couldn't see anything wrong with being so nasty to niece (9) despite his kids having used all her toys for weeks. Neighbourly relations were frosty at best from then on and mum planted a big hedge between the houses (expensive but worth it).
