To think my sister has got a flipping nerve (warning trivial).

[Lambzig]

It is my DF's birthday today. He is nightmare to buy for so I sent him some lovely posh wine and cheese from an artisan shop to be delivered this morning. I had not discussed this with my sister at all.

I just called him to say happy birthday and he thanked me for the card. I said "didn't you get my present" and he said no. I explained that I had sent it from x shop and what I had sent and he said "oh no, I have that, it came without a label, but I spoke to your sister an hour ago and she said it was from her."

I said it was definitely from us and he said he was confused as my sister had also sent him a book, but when he spoke to her she said the wine and cheese was from her as an extra present.

I didnt want to upset him so left it, just stating that it was from me.

I called her immediately and she said as DF said it hadn't got a label on it, she thought she would claim it. She thinks its funny that he now thinks it is a joint present. I am really not amused.

Good that the shop made amends, hopefully the little gift will clarify things and make your sister look even sillier.

Well done on getting the shop to send a little something out to him with a note. Best way of dealing with it.

Not trivial at all, that would really make me annoyed. Glad the shop are going to sort it out.

Don't think it's trivial at all. It shows that your sister is a really nasty character.

YANCU - Your sister has a flipping nerve!

Good that the shop are clarifying things though, she will just look bad and deserves to do so, what a cheek!

I meant YANBU, what YANCU might mean I haven't a clue!!

Glad the shop is going to help out with this - your sister has behaved very strangely though!
Perhaps your DF said what a lovely thoughtful gift the wine and cheese was so she decided that she needed to be the "golden daughter" and so claimed it? I can't see any other reason that she would have done it, unless she's a pathological liar, of course.

Stupid thing to have done on her part. I hope your DF isn't upset over it any more though (and when he gets the next delivery from the shop, she'll look even more stupid for being caught out in a lie!)

Yes it´s upsetting for OPs father I would have thought.

Being lied to to make herself seem more generous/OP not as generous.

Just strange.

On every gift giving occasion from now on, just send her a label with your names on. What a total bitch.

Your sister is a stupid mean cow.

I would say that what she's done is comparable to theft.

Glad it's sorted though for your dads sake.

Sorry i had read DF as DearFiance not father! That was why i asked why your sis had spoken to your fiance before you had!

Calm down Bogey.
