I ordered a Christmas cake with someone who makes them. I ordered a few months ago. Prior to this I'd had a birthday cake from her made for DS at the end of October which admittedly was lovely, hence why I booked in another for Christmas.
Anyway, I received a message from her 26 hours ago, through facebook asking if I still wanted the cake. I've been so busy I just didn't get this message until tonight along with a load of others.
Anyway, within those 26 hours (I've only just logged on to find the messages) I'd received a message (5 hours ago) to say your cake is ready now, please collect before Saturday. That was fine. But then with those I also have messages from 'friends' of hers who I don't know telling me how disgusting I am for not contacting her and a disgrace to society, to get my head sorted out etc.... quite nasty messages which shocked me. AND then I notice she's also plastered my name and home phone number all over her business facebook page telling people to beware of me!
I got into quite a debate about how she didn't allow me much time to respond and I have been busy of which she's just responded calling me a liar and doesn't believe I've been busy as she's seen me showing as online (I'm constantly logged on as it's on through my phone which I also told her). And in the end told her that if this is how she treats a customer I'd rather not have the cake at all.
AIBU to say that after she's made it? I did have every intention of getting the cake, but cannot believe all the grief I received over not responding immediately.
