Then when asking you should say please, or if you have not spoken to the person in a while or in my case been blanked / ignored then you could at least start with a 'how's you'

I am going try scrubbing the mug imprint off my forehead asit is oobviously only attracting morons.

I used to know a girl like this. Once she messaged me when I was in hospital with reduced movement asking if I could cover her DP's shift at work so they could go to a party. She knew I was in hospital and didn't even bother pretending to care!

I ignore her now, she knows why but it doesn't stop her popping up occasionally trying to act like nothing has happened. Some people are so self absorbed.

Stay away!

Oh and her DP was a kitchen porter whilst I am an RMN.. Strange woman.

I have had 2 in the last hour. I need to attract a different type of person as I am doing something wrong

my friend text me asking if I could get her horse in for her when I had a broken foot and couldn't even look after my horse!

Do these people think that we just sit around waiting for them to need us?

It has really irked me tonight. One of them I replied as it was to do with my job the other one I ranted a little bit and decided not to even reply today, I may reply in a few days or see if she decides I am worthy of speaking to at school pick up.

Which of course I will be when everyone else has disappeared and she has noone else to ask questions about...or invite round for a cuppa and hand paperwork to do.

Haha I genuinely believe that they are convinced the world revolves around them and everyone is just dying to help them out.

The same girl invited me for a night out once, when I asked what the plans were she told me she was going for dinner and to the cinema with friends.. But would be back home by 11.30pm if I wanted to then meet her at hers. Tempting.

There has to be a special school for these type of people. I have had an ex friend make up with me after I called her on her behavior. turns out it was so she could crash at my house that wknd. when I got up she was gone no bye or anything. I cooled our friendship as it was obvious she used me. I got a call a few weeks later inviting me to go shopping with her (provide company). I informed her I was seriously ill,her reply....'ok, well just come for coffee then!' she sulked when I repeated myself, no concern at all for what was wrong with me. I cut her out of my life and didn't look back. It's quite liberating.

It is like whatever you say to them does not sink in, they are so focused on getting you to do their bidding.

I had 'friends' who were very good at remembering favours they had done me and even better at making out favours I was doing them was for my benefit. I am so glad they are no longer in my life.

tinyturtletim · 16/10/2013 07:27

So glad i am not the only one who attracts these types.

I had one invite me somewhere then when I asked when we were booking it she said she booked it with friends...

I think this person is trying to use me to get in with my friend who is very popular in the work we do.

Same here. Had a friend text me to see if I wanted to go out to Ikea which is about a 45 mins drive away. I'd gone before twice as there was some things I wanted to buy and had asked her if she wanted to come along. So she text me and said did I fancy going and that she would go halves with petrol. I was getting over an illness at the time and said that I didn't feel like driving and did she want to drive this time.

Suddenly she couldn't make it for the next 2 weeks as she was busy. After 2 weeks she text me to see if I was any better. Not really I told her. She then didn't reply.
