A person who I knew at school who was a twat not very nice to other people, some would say a bully, is in The Sun today having defrauded loads of people out of money by saying that it was for Cancer Research.

The knob person was described as 'arrogant' at the trial and is yet to be sentenced.

I am normally not a gossip but I have passed this info on to everyone who he was an utter arse unkind to - AIBU?

It has really made my day that he is finally being punished for something (and I hope the money that the police got from his flat actually goes to cancer research).

I was going to say YABU but then I read about him ripping off a cancer charity. Very low. YANBU

Now I've seen the picture and not only did he rip off a cancer charity, but one of them is wearing one of those Peruvian hats. Won't someone think of the poor cold-eared Andean farmers... I am starting a campaign to stop the wearing of those hats.

No. You are not being unreasonable.What a total shit to rip off a cancer charity.

upahill · 30/01/2011 15:18

I understand your feelings chocolocolate. I would feel the same.

Katy1010 please don't start a campaign to get rid of them hats.

I have about 6 or 7 and I love them. They are great upahill on a cold day!

Katey1010 · 30/01/2011 15:27

Upahill, don't you care the about the poor, cold Andean farmers? Shame on you. Although, since you are also Upahill (like the farmers), we could make an exception in your case. Wink

Thank You Katey My ears get cold when I'm the mountains with my groups of young people.
However the 'tails' hit me in the face when it is really windy so maybe I will join your campaing after all!!

Glad I'm not being too much of a bitch to revel in his misfortune Blush

YANBU. I left a Saturday job once as I had problems with a manager picking on me. I had reported it to another manager but was told it was impossible as the manager that bullied me was 'totally professional at all times'.
Less than a year later it was in the papers that the manager and a few others were involved in major fraud. They had obtained mystery shopper details and made sure the mystery shoppers got a first class service (public owned company) to make sure they got large bonuses. I was delighted Grin

Can't see anything unreasonable about being glad that someone who was horrible to everyone finally got caught at it.
