to have a quick nose at DSIL's bank statement when she nipped out the room?

C'mon, everyone does it.

Grin

I'd nipped round this afternoon to have a coffee and discuss Boxing Day arrangements with her any excuse. She wanted to show me what she'd bought for the DC and pooped out to the garage to fetch it, so I sprung into action and had a quick squizz at the Halifax statement sticking out her paperwork basket where she keeps this stuff. Wink

I'm pretty certain that I managed to jump away in time as she came back in the room, therefore covering my tracks.

I'm not BU am I?

(lots of interesting transactions on the account btw Grin)

Do you know?

If she would have been upfront about it, i would have probably told here anything on that statement - It was just the surrepticiousness of it - that's bothered me.

Sad

Its only my own brothers. I read it out to him over the phone. I know his pin number and a couple of my friends for when we pop down the cashpont for each other when we cant be bothered/cant get down there. The same couple of friends I have lived with before and we have seen all of each others mail open

SquishyCinnamonSwirls · 08/12/2011 21:20

I'd be really pissed off if someone was rifling through my paperwork. Complete and utter cheek tbh and I'd call them on it.

LadyBeagleBaublesAndBells · 08/12/2011 21:21

I'd rather your post had been the other way round Chaos, then you could have told us how she'd spent her money.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 08/12/2011 21:22

Bamboo - just a bucket of a lot of direct debits. Sad

And a large Agent Provocateur debit more likely Cadbury's.

OP, i think that you are bloody awful tbh. Your poor SIL.

MyCarHasBrokenDownAgain · 08/12/2011 21:25

My friend's MIL does this .... I keep telling her to get some mousetraps ... Grin

forehead · 08/12/2011 21:26

Sorry OP didn't read the thread

DamnBamboo · 08/12/2011 21:35

So you have permission Molly. Slightly different then isn't it?

Call her on it!

Tell your brother what she did.

It's fucking rude and I would think twice about leaving her unattended in my house ever again.

Makes you wonder what she's done before.

Borrow a bank slip from a really rich friend and drop it accidentally-on-purpose where she sees it.

Then say you must dash, your fortnum and mason delivery is being brought round by the masseur and beauty therapist is to follow hot on their heels.

What a rude cah she is!

Floggingmolly · 08/12/2011 21:35

You nosy cow. Everybody does not do it.

Floggingmolly · 08/12/2011 21:36

Ah, just read properly. She's a right cow.

molly3478 · 08/12/2011 21:40

I just wouldnt care either way unless she was planing to rob me. If anyone comes in my palce and reads my stuff I really wouldnt be bothered tbh.I dont think its the end of the world really

DamnBamboo · 08/12/2011 21:45

It's an invasion of privacy Molly

Why does anybody have the right to know, without your permission, what's in your bank account?

Flisspaps · 08/12/2011 21:45

So it was YOU that pooped in the garage? Dirty bugger.

Heleninahandcart · 08/12/2011 21:50

This is a total betrayal of trust. I would be appalled if anyone did that to me and it says much more about the snooper imo. I would be seriously pissed off about it and would have spent the entire day coming up with all the smart comments I wish I'd made to her at the time.

Maybe next time she turns up, find a reason to leave the room and sweetly say 'no peaking at anything whilst I'm gone'. What a cow.

LadyBeagleBaublesAndBells · 08/12/2011 21:54

Xmas Shock Chaos is being controvershall Wink
She's a bloody troublemaker, her.

rogersmellyonthetelly · 08/12/2011 21:55

Next time leave it in the same place as before but write on it "I know you are reading this you nosy fucker"

SinicalSal · 08/12/2011 21:57

or cover it with special paint, she'll be caught rapid

OnlyWantsOne · 08/12/2011 21:58

My DP used to read my post and look trough my things. I started writing "if you're reading this, you are clearly a cunt"

It soon stopped!!

NinkyNonker · 08/12/2011 22:01

All this pooping in the garage is making me queasy.

Bogeyface · 09/12/2011 00:32

Personally I would leave a note that said

"Three pages down is my CC statement, but dont tell DH what is on it!"

then put another note three pages down saying

"Gotcha!" :o

aldiwhore · 09/12/2011 03:31

Am I weird in that this would never even cross my mind???

aldiwhore · 09/12/2011 03:35

I hate reverse AIBU.

FFS have faith... of course your SIl was being a twat!
