To object to my money being spent this way

[kurlykatie]

A neighbour of mine has started a small ironing business. I give her an order every fortnight or so costing approx £20 a time. Every single night there are takeaways being sent to her house, she lives with her 4 children. To be honest I am really annoyed at the fact that I am out working 45+ hours per week and she is spending my money on takeaways every night. I would not object if she was actually spending the money on her children but WIBU to stop giving her orders seeing as she is just wasting everyones money.

Are you using this as an excuse, because you're not happy with the ironing?

I saw the lady who works at the post office in the pub a few weeks ago, the money I spend on stamps goes towards her wages, that means she was spending my money on alcohol....I'm [hangry] she would spend my money like that, oh wait, its nothing to do with me....

Do you know what I sometimes used to do with my hard earned minimum wage? - buy cigs Tell ya, people like me that are ruining this country!

You're actually paying her for the work she does so why do you care about what she does with her money? You're outreagous to be honest! she opened her business, trying to make a living for herself...
If you're at work 45hrs a week, how do you get to see how often she gets a takeaway?

I completely agree OP. We should have a scheme where all employers can see exactly what we've spent our wages on so they can cut accordingly.

E.g. Naice Ham - 50p more expensive - not needed - cut
Wine - £5 per bottle - 2 bottles a week - drunken hoor - cut
Petrol - £30 a week - ride yer bike ya lazy bitch - cut

What a wonderful world it would be . Maybe if you followed her round the supermarket you could make a list and then tell her other customers too! Ohhhh! GET NIGHT VISION GOGGLES (but don't let your employer see the receipt)

You seem to think you are somehow doing her a favour by paying her... to Do Your Ironing!!

This has got to be a jokey thread, because I can not honestly believe anyone would be quite so daft and unpleasant as this.

next.....

bored with the hairy of hand now....

Oh, hilarious, OP - well done [hgrin]

also i paid my rent in the Post office, £500 i bet they will have a party on that

I'm assuming this is some sort of point about some other situation?

One of them there analogy thingies

Haha, yes, I am sorry, I name changed and this is a reverse AIBU!

I started a home ironing service a couple of months ago. My husband works away and some nights we do just phone a takeaway in especially if I am really busy. Anyway, one of my neighbours has given me a few orders but today she said she wasn't sure if she was going to give me any more orders as 'she doesn't like her money being wasted on rubbish'. I really didn't know what to say to her! I feel like telling her just to shove her ironing up her arse! But I don't want to get a bad reputation. To be fair I am more than happy working for takeout food, I hate cooking with a passion!

The woman may be addicted to takeaways . You really should offer her your support and praps take round a salad.

Er, why don't you do your own cruddy ironing then?

1st ever post - fishier than a mermaids bathing suit [hgrin]

Ugh, I hate wanky reverse threads

What a twat!

Oh you giant Cock you got my gander up then [hgrin]

FFS Beetroot, you got me all worked up there. Your neighbour is being a nosey bitch. YANBU.

YABU to reverse AIBU though. I fucking hate these things, I get all excited.

Sorry folks. I just wanted to see if everyone was as outraged as I was when she said it to me!

Wow!

Dont wait for her to bin you off. Next time she wants it doing tell her that you are asorry but you are swamped with work, but you can recommend X service (find the most expensive you can!).

bloody hell.

She feels like she's doing you a favour, it sounds like.

You're her little charity case. Letting you do her ironing so she can give you money and feel Worthy.

I bet my arse that's it!

did she actually say you spent her money on rubbish.

or

i spend my money on rubbish (meaning stuff she could do herself)
