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🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♀️

Years ago through Monday to Friday i was living and working in a city which was 90 minutes drive away from the small town that my boyfriend and I were based.. He lived and worked in the small town. On my days off at the weekend I would drive to the town to stay with him. For context the main airport was halfway between the city and the town.

Toward the end of the week he texts me to ask if I could take his brother and wife, who lived in his town, to the airport on the friday morning, as he was 'tired'.

So essentially he was asking me to drive from city to town (90 mins) to airport (45 mins) to city (45 mins), then work all day (driving in the city was a big part of my job) then drive from city to town that night another 90 mins. He suggested I might want to drive down the night before so I wouldn't have to do the 90 minute drive in the morning from the city to the town. ( This was him being kind and considerate)

His daily commute to work, via car, was 2 minutes. His working hours were 9 to 4, i was 8.30 to 5 pm with a daily commute of 30 to 40 minutes but never finished on time.

When i repeated to him what he wanted me to do, he just said 'yeah,' The penny didnt drop. I couldn't even bring myself to discuss the added time for rush hour driving nto the city first thing would add.

So I just replied 'No'. He was actually surprised when I declined his kind offer.
We split up soon after.

A (now X) friend wanted me to take her to the airport at 4:30 in the morning because she didn't trust Uber drivers. Or even taxi drivers in general. She didn't want to ask her DH, as they had 2 small children, (under 4) who would be sleeping.

It didn't matter that I had 4 DC under 6, because my DC were bigger, or that I would have to arrange cover for myDC as DH was traveling for work, as they would all be asleep in bed. She really felt I could still do it, and was rather annoyed when I declined.

Nope, still neighbours almost 10 years on. There have been other 'odd' requests, but none on that level thankfully (it was bloody awkward for a while).

Going back about 10 years ago. Having a clear out at my workplace as discovered a huge box full of barely used and not needed lever arch files. They would have just been thrown away which seemed a waste, so I put them on Freecycle making it clear where they should be collected from. Lady got in touch, asked if she could have 20 please. Fine. It turned out I vaguely knew her (through a mutual contact) and she asked me if I could drop the files as her house ‘on my way home from work’. Her house was no where near my route home from work and would have involved a substantial detour. Plus I had two young DCs and a part-time job. She had no DCs, and worked as-hoc hours so was way more flexible than me. I politely declined her request, and let her know where to collect the FREE files. After a bit more back and forth where again, she asked me if I could drop them to hers ‘on my way home’ (again, no I can’t) she said she was in my town that weekend, and could I hand them over to her then. I agreed as it was only down the road from me, and frankly I was getting cheesed off with her by then and wanted to put an end to the fiasco. I turned up at arranged meeting place, popped my head into the cafe where she was sat with a friend. She then proceeded to lean out of the cafe door with her car key fob, popped the automatic boot, and asked me to load the files into her car! I was so shocked at the sheer cheek of it that I couldn’t think of a suitable rebuttal. I had to get back into my car (as obviously couldn’t carry 20 lever arch files!) and drive it alongside her car. I launched the files into her car boot as hard as I could, and gave the boot the hardest slam shut I could muster. Was tempted to give the car a kick but she would have known it was me. What a CF.

When I had finished training to be a teacher many years ago, a friend who worked full time and had twins just about to go into nursery school said how great it would be now as every summer I could stay at her house all day, every day and teach her twins during the summer holidays.

She made out it was some kind of favour to me even though I had my own home an hour's drive away. She expected me to jump at the chance of spending every day of my summer holiday at her house, in effect working for free, teaching and looking after her children whilst she was at work. She said it'd be great as I could practise my teaching on her kids...

...and appeared taken aback and shocked when I laughed and said no fucking way! We have since got over this.

People asking what I did about my daft in-laws wanting us to leave our holiday early so sil could go down and enjoy a break. They were told to sod off and we then blocked their calls etc till we got home.

Nothing was ever mentioned again.

This same sil threw a total foot stamping tantrum at a family occasion after I turned up. Literally took one look at me and burst out crying really loud sobbing, door slamming, stamping lol!. I'd been in hospital having some treatment and I was looking quite thin and frail so I thought seeing me this way had upset her. We were told by mil that we needed to leave. Bemused we just left. Next day I got a telling off by mil for ruining the day. Apparently sil has been desperately trying to lose weight and had successfully lost a stone and was looking forward to all the family complimenting her. I'd ruined it by being thinner.

Me and my blasted disease modifying drugs eh.

She's like a 40 year old child honestly. Comes across really sweet but she's an overgrown spoilt teenager.

Christ almighty. She diagnosed with Borderline by any chance?

How in god's name does she navigate life behaving like that?

I thank my lucky stars I've ever encountered anyone as cheeky as this because I have too much of a temper on me. I'd have launched them too. At her face.

My sd
I've written about her before-spolit,nasty,bitchy and prone to tantrums if not getting her own way (not good when your almost 18)
Dad (my dp) carries a lot of guilt as she was born early and almost didn't make it
Her mother is a psychopath (and I do not say that lightly)

Anyway she moves in with us as her mother has thrown her out
This was meant to be a temporary arrangement until she either found a job/went to uni

She moved in and tried to make it very clear that she'd put up with us and us paying her way until she met and married a rich man-and then she wouldn't have anything more to do with us as she wouldn't need us anymore

That was her first mistake-i made it very clear she would have to get a job and I wouldn't be paying her way until this fictional man showed up to swoop her away and neither would dp

A very long cf story later,(involving trying to force me out of my own home,live streaming and rows i had with dp to her mother,playing dp off against her mother and wasting anything that came her way) it became clear she meant what she had said and I put my foot down-job or move out

She went running to her mother and between them they came up with the bright idea that dp would up his (already long) hours to support her and myself-id double my hours and give all my wages to her

(mother couldn't give her money due to being on benefits herself and had lost a chunk when sd moved out)

I laughed in her face when she tried to tell us this was the plan moving forward-time to move out!

So she did-snarling and spitting at how unreasonable I am

Fast forward two weeks,I'm off work (can't remember if it was my day off or if I was sick)
The front door suddenly opens-shed had a key cut and had come back to see if there was any spare cash knocking about and was going to take what she felt she was owed

I got that key back off her (I'm unreasonable for not wanting a thief access to my home-she threw a massive tantrum (like what a toddler would do) and threw it at me before running back to her mother with a totally different story to what had happened (Cue a ton of abuse from the pair of them)

As I'd refused to go along with her plans for her life (and stopped a very soft and feeling guilty dp from agreeing),it turned out she'd gone on dps laptop and taken photos of 'personal pictures' of me that where meant for dps eyes only

And she wasted no time at all showing everyone (and i mean everyone-her mother,my family who im nc with,my children,my work colleagues,my friends,random people she knows-everyone) while wailing about how nasty I am

All because I told her to get a job and pay her way (a full £25 a week)

She did end up at uni,which was a massive shock on how the real world works and found a job-and has to pay her own way in life

She's finding this idea hard to cope with-im told she's still up to her old tricks and is desperately trying to find herself a rich man

Mild compared to some of these, but we moved house recently and had some small items of furniture to give away, advertised on local FB group, with a message that we would be at the house at this time and it was first come first served. Found potential new owners for nearly everything. Not one, but 2 different people called me to say that they had come for x,y,z and were outside in the car, if we could just bring it out. Lazy gits.

I got home from work (part time) to find that a neighbour's workmen had set up an outdoor workshop on my drive....van, workbenches and tools, wood and other materials, sawdust everywhere, the lot. When I told them to move the boss said they thought it would be ok as they thought I would be out all day and couldn't I just go away again until they had finished.

I think I'd have either dumped the files on the ground anywhere or just driven off and taken them to the tip.

Many years ago I used to take my baby to a baby group. I got chatting to one particular woman. Had probably met her twice by the time we went for a coffee with another couple of mums. I was chatting over coffee and mentioned that I had organised a babysitter as I was going out that evening. She then told me I shouldn't have bothered and she'd babysit for me. I was a bit 🤔at this and had no intention of taking her up on this offer. Then she said in return I could look after her baby when she went back to work 😂

We did have a gardening, house warming party, everyone pitched in to help out our large totally overgrown new garden, but we did supply lots of food, beer and wine. Everyone seemed to have a good time and we did ask in advance.

I had a bloke I'd never met coming over for a hook up. He texted me on the way here to ask me to make him a sandwich.

My DH ex asked him for a loan of £600 so she could pay her legal fees for taking him to court. She also asked him to buy her a car because he dared to take his own when they split. She'd quit her job and lost her company car so apparently he now had to provide her with one. We got a lot of laughs from some of her requests.

This one is quite mild but in my mind as very recent. My daughter's birthday party was at a swimming pool this year. CF school mum (she has form) messaged me asking if I could collect her daughter from her house, take her to the party with us and bring her home. She doesn't drive (and seemingly has no inclination to learn despite flexing what seems to be a very moneyed lifestyle, as she just gets various mugs minions to chauffeur her around). But gobsmackingly on this occasion she told me her husband was home but "doesn't like wasting Saturday afternoons running the kids around". But apparently it's OK for me to spend my time running her kid around!

I said no as I was having to get there early to set up and would have to hang around to clear up. She huffed and said she'd "have to" ask one of the other parents. In the end the lazy husband dropped off and picked up so I guess the others said no as well.

I might have been a bit more accommodating if she wasn't so entitled and if her kids were all behaved but they are whiny, rude and demanding. At another of my daughter's parties I had agreed to take her daughter and bring her home. The girl whined and moaned that I had to spend 15 mins clearing up the venue. Then she went through the party bag in my car declaring "ew, I don't want THAT" at various rejected items which she flung into the footwell. Delightful.

A girl I knew used to ask us to babysit her 3 yo daughter. She would bring her starving, no food, no money for food, no toys or games. No spare clothes. We had nothing child friendly at all.
She started coming back later and later. She claimed she was at college, but it eventually transpired she was spending every day at a drug den. The final straw obviously when we found out where she was, she'd left the kid with us for 3 days. It was meant to be a few hours.
We told her if she didn't come back immediately we'd have to drop the child at the police station and have her done for abandonment. We didn't even really know about SS back then.
She did then come and get the kid.
We never saw them again. I still feel so sad for that poor child all these years later.

This happened to me except it was a whole set of bedroom furniture in multiple boxes. They didn't ask, just left a note on the door to deliver to me. It was in my front room for days. Absolute cheeky bastards!!

How utterly appalling to call your partner's DD a spoilt, nasty bitch. What a piece of work you are....

I see you found me F & L

If by chance your not either of them-she is still a rotten,selfish bitch

I stand by this-i lived it

She is the biggest cf I've ever known

She finding you reap what you sow

These other scenarios I think I've posted about before.

When my eldest was at nursery I was chatting to one of the mums I was friendly with whose son was a year younger. I mentioned it was my sons birthday soon and I was thinking of having a little tea party for some of his nursery friends. She said "oh great, I need to do some decorating so it will be really useful to drop him at yours for the day". Her son was 2 and I was not offering free babysitting for a whole day on my own son's birthday! I later told her I'd decided to just have family round. Though my husband's sister and her boyfriend turned up with neice, dropped her off and disappeared to the pub. She was about 10 and well behaved but (a) the poor lass was bored rigid as the other kids were preschoolers and (b) they didn't even ask.

I put some baby clothes on a local freegle site. A woman contacted me and asked for them. I said yes though she seemed a bit put out that I wasn't willing to deliver the FREE items. She arranged a time to collect and I explained my house was in a main road so parking is round the corner in a side road. She snapped "oh I'll have my baby with me so you'll have to bring them out to me". No please or thank you.

Then at the time she was due to arrive I was expecting her to phone/ message that she was in the side road. I heard someone blasting a horn repeatedly on the main road. I looked out and it was a woman in a Range Rover gesticulating angrily at me as she completely blocked that side of the single carriageway, huge queue of traffic building up behind. I ran out with the big bag of clothes, she gestured at me to put them in the back which I did and she them roared off without a thank you (funny that) as the motorists behind shook their fists and swore at me as if it was my fault. I started putting outgrown clothes in the charity bins after that.

A school mum friend sent me a text out of blue asking to borrow £5000 ( not £50 or £500) and didnt tell me what she needed the money for, all she offered was 10% interest in return. We are not even close friends, we had a few play dates then they moved school.

Later I found out not only she asked me, she also asked some other friends too, £5000 each!

Very recently I had an accident resulting in reconstructive shoulder surgery. If anyone has been through this, they'll know this is an absolute bastard of a problem and I'm looking at 12-18 months recovery time.

I came out of hospital 2 days early as the ward was a nightmare and I felt I'd be more comfortable and have better nursing from my loved ones at home.

3rd day of being at home a friend turned up with her 5 year old DS who has autism, ADHD and at that point, chickenpox. She knew I was home and wanted to leave him with me for a couple of hours while she went out for lunch with a friend. I thought she was joking at first. Nope, she meant it.

I couldn't even take care of myself and was only on my own as DH had to go into work briefly to make things safe before he was off for the next 2 weeks to look after me. I couldn't believe the cheek of her.
