To think dh's best mate is a cheeky fecker?

[CatthiefKeith]

Dh went to a funeral/wake yesterday. He didn't get home until 11.30 (Late funeral, followed by wake, entirely expected)

His mate, lets call him prick (not his real name) went to London with his gf on Tuesday, they saw a show, stayed the night, spent yesterday seeing the sights and then went to a Medieval Banquet thing last night.

At 11pm my mobile rang. I saw it was Prick, and ignored it, assuming he wanted DH.

House phone rings. Now I'm concerned so answer it, and the conversation went like this:

Prick "Hi Keith, we are at the train station 5 miles away, and haven't got any money - can you tell dh to come and get us?"

Me "No. he's at a wake. He's been drinking, so he won't be able to come and get you.

Prick "can you come then?"

Me "What? No. Dd is in bed"

Prick. "So? It'll only take you 10 minutes"

Me "NO! It is 11pm and my 4 year old is alseep"

Prick "What about if you phone Dh, tell him to come home, then he can stay in with her while you come and get us?"

Me " What goes click, Derrrrrrrr?" (Hung up)

Aibu to think if you can afford a West End Show, dinner, hotel, sightseeing, and a medieval night you should make damn sure you've got enough money to get your stupid arse home from the train station?

What a cock, what has DH said?

Yip, cheeky as fuck.

What an absolute cheeky fucker. What did your DH say?

Dh just shook his head - Prick has form for being absolutely shite with money - he and his gf sail exceeding close to the wind. They don't just live month to month, sometimes it's more like day to day!

I think he is a dick.
You did the right thing.

Ive just had a look at FB. Apparently another mate's father went and got them after they posted a begging status about being stranded, let down and finding out who their friends are Cheeky cunt.

Just at this!!

Cheeky, and very rude.

I can only assume he was very pissed. Surely nobody in their right mind would really expect me to wake up, or leave, a 4 year old to go and pick them up from a station 5 miles away at 11pm?

I hope you've responded to that FB status along the lines of "Yes, indeed, what friends would expect someone to get a 4 year old out of bed at 11.30 p.m. just because they were too disorganised to arrange their own transport?" If it was 5 miles away, they weren't stranded, they could and should have walked.

How old are they/ you?

You're not their parents FFS

defriend

I would post - yes I agree you do find out your mates. Real mates wouldn't expect a 4 year old to be left home alone.

They weren't stranded. They just couldn't be arsed to walk.

I am early 40's, Dh is 30. Best mate is mid 30's and his gf is around dh's age. I sincerely hope they don't view me as a surrogate parent.

Gudgren, I would love nothing more than to defriend, unfortunately I'd still see them in rl though!

Some folk have more front than Blackpool!

Pants took the words right out of my mouth.

Wow! For real? Cheeky beggars

So basically they spent every last penny on having a lovely day and didn't think about how they would get home? If they'd each had one drink fewer they could have paid for the taxi! Just ridiculous. Don't feel guilty - they are idiots.

Here is the original status......

The rail network has declined our ticket home so we have had to pay £45 extra to get to XXX Is anyone able to give us a lift in 20 mins? Or we can't get home we are too skint. One way to find out who your mates really are

at 'not his real name'!

And at that fb status!

Why did the rail network decline the ticket home? Why WOULD they do that?

Worra facking liberty...

Lol at 'the rail network' ruining his travel plans. so he didn't buy the wrong ticket then or try to use it on a journey where it was invalid??

I would be so tempted to reply that you were sorry you couldn't help them out as you were home alone with a sleeping small child while your husband was attending a funeral wake.

no rail network declines tickets home... they are fibbing. cheeky and stupid.
