Cheeky requests that make you want to scream

What is wrong with people?

This morning, a friend I have not seen in almost 2 years called me. I didn't see the call until lunch time, rang her back and send her a text but didn't reply.

She has just texted back saying that she needed me to give her a lift to the mechanic (WTF?)

Had another one this week, when I had to tell "no" to another mum 14 times as I couldn't have her kid around and take them to an activity because I was working.

She took offence that I couldn't understand that she couldn't take him herself because she was working. Why on earth does she think that I should take time off and earn less money to entertain her kid???

I had a cheeky woman once who wanted to but the car I'd advertised for sale.

She came round, had a test drive and liked the car. Fine. Agreed a price etc. she then said she could hear a funny rattling noise and could I take it to Ford to check it out. I couldn't hear anything but agreed to take it in. Ford said it was fine.

Woman then arrived unannounced 2 days later ( no phone call) and wanted to take the car there and then. But she didn't have all the cash so j would have to drive her and her Dd into town. I had to wake up my DS, get her car seat in the car. She then wanted to drive as " it was pretty much her car" so off we went.

Got to the bank and she gets the cash. Driving back to my place she hears the noise again but decides it's the dashboard compartment as apparently I haven't shut it properly.

Back home she says she's taking the car now, gives me the cash and I have to empty all my stuff out, force DHs signature in the log book ( he knew we were selling it, but we didn't know she was turning up that day).

She then asked to leave her car in my drive and she would come back later for it. She went. Then called me while driving and said the noise was back again and she was annoyed she'd bought the car.

She then decides she's leaving her car on my drive for a while as she hasn't got time to come and collect it. I finally lost it with the entitled madam and told her that she had until 6pm to collect it otherwise I would report it as dumped and get it towed.

She actually told me that she couldn't believe how nasty I was being and that I should have gradually showed by irritation ( when I pointed out how annoyed I was by other behaviour) so that she could have decided how far to push me without me losing patience and putting my foot down

Apparently I was really unreasonable and her mum also thought I was being mean! I vowed never to sell a car via a private sale ever again.

I don't enable it, expat, I say no and she continues. I've told her she has to cough up for the extra child's theatre ticket. I have one of her dc round to play because my son really likes him. I only do that on my terms and that's when she doesn't turn up to pick up!

allow

But surely you can see that saying no and let the behaviour continue will change nothing? You need to take action.
Don't look after her child. Full stop.
I understand the kids are friends but that mother is taking advantage of you. You need to stop that.

Pmsl at you should have gradually showed irritation. Lessons from an entitled cheeky fucker on how to handle them - priceless!

'I've told her she has to cough up for the extra child's theatre ticket. '

And did she? You say no, and 'she continues'. That's enabling. 'NO,' and then you don't. She continues, and you show her the door.

A couole of years a go i went out on a night with 4 other friends.

We decided to do a kitty... we all put 20 in a pit and decided wed get the same drinks eacg round... as it saved time and was easier then buying rounds for each other.

A few hours later one friend decided she wanted out if the kitty.. fine... counted the kitty up and devided so she could have her share..

Noo.... she wanted her 20 pounds back...... and couldnt understand when i said no....

DP's ex can be pretty unreasonable with her requests at times. Most recent one was "pretty please could you come around and help my dad move x, I'd sooo appreciate it and there's a box of chocolates in it for you" bleugh! And then when he didn't reply she called him several times then text saying "please can you call, DD really wants to talk to you" - and what do you know, his DD no longer wanted to talk to him and had conveniently run off when he did get around to calling her back but she asked about the favour and tried to demand he do it there and then or if not the following day in the morning (this was a weekday) - because, you know, he doesn't have a job or a life. Pisses me right off that she has such an entitled attitude.

Organon, I don't really understand why you are assuming that men irresponsibility when it comes to children is the fault of women.

Many men are useless at multitasking, whether they are good husbands/parents or not.

I however accept that you have a point, we should tell the irresponsible guy to keep an eye on their children or fuck off (I do nowadays) but sometimes you are too busy preventing the children to hurt themselves. Things that strike me particularly are young kids mistreating the dogs, or toddlers and magazines/staircases,/hot BBQs, etc.

First time I've heard Mexican House Thief and I can't believe it!!

The gold star in cheeky fuckery

I'm surprised what they did isn't illegal

I have a friend like this. Single parent, calls to say how much her DD would love to see DS2 and how we should catch up.

Turns up with new BF in tow, then says the two of them need to go out and her DD will be fine playing at ours.

Cheeky bint. This has happened at least three times, so I won't agree again. Shame for her DD though, I can't imagine I'm the only one her mum's done it to.

Mexican thief story gets the Golden Biscuit!

My dad says You always get some weirdo when private selling a car. You certainly did

Oh, yeah, I had some chancers when I last sold my car. 'Will you take a cheque?' 'Can you come and collect me from work so I can view the car?' 'Can you bring the car to mine to have a look at it?'

My MIL runs a market stall selling haberdashery. The number of people that expect things for free because "it's only a 5p button/bit of ribbon" then bloody pay for it!
Cheeky fuckers!

I am a stay at home mum and had 3 little ones at home at the time.

My friend who was also my friend had a baby, wanted to go back to work full time, asked if I would help out with childcare.

I said yes I would help twice a week but that's all I can do, I also said that only till 3pm as that's when my other 2 dc came home from school . All arranged.

No one comes to pick baby up at 3, I try calling both parents nothing.
Finally dad turns up at 5.30 not a Carr in the world, I said I was angry I have to dinner and bath time and can't leave the baby downstairs on his own or upstairs as we have no baby gates and so had to leave him in his pushchair whilst I did all this for his own safety. They were annoyed he had fallen asleep. Things got very akward.
Come the September and 1 dc starts school and 2 to younger ones start nursery, I get offered a part time job, perfect hours and good money. I tell friend I'm sorry I can have baby a certain day as I will be working her reply "sorry you can't, I can't get him in anywhere else that day. But maybe another job will come up" (bare in mind I was looking after baby for free)

I told her it wasn't going to happen and I'm sorry. She said to me "I didn't realise you needed money so badly"
needless to say we are no longer friends.

Flippyflapper they were bloody cheeky seen as it was free child care I won't be friends any longer either

Yes, they really took the pee out of me, she would send him with a chocolate bar for his lunch (she was supposed to make lunch and snacks for the day) so obviously had to give him food poor thing.
It is very akward as we are neibours but she still doesn't think she was in the wrong and that I was completely out of order.

I'd love to have her side. I'd love to see how they are justifying it to themselves! I simply can't imagine what they would say.

I had a friend, known her since I was 4, had a couple of fallings out along the way but on the whole a good friend to have.

She was at uni in the year above me, different place, when in her final year she got unexpectedly pregnant, and was too far along to terminate when she found out. The man she claimed was the father wanted no part of it so she dropped out and came back home. I (and several friends) helped her out loads. When baby was around 3 months old she claimed her stepfather had thrown her out and got emergency accommodation through the council. I spent New Years with her because she couldn't go out. She flitted between various friends for a whole and finally settled with living with a friends boyfriend. He was always with the friend and had a spare room so it suited. Then her behaviour started to change.

She asked me to babysit, she was going back to uni town to meet baby's dad and sort things out. She came back pissed after meeting up with her uni mates. She latched onto my cousin and wormed her way into my family. Cousin had an ann summers party where friend ordered loads of stuff and paid with a credit card she'd stolen from the bloke she lived with girlfriend (although this came out a few months down the line when everyone had ditched her).

She got a council house and I helped her paint, my mum took her to buy curtains etc. I leant her money, which she never repaid despite me asking. She was supposed to come for a birthday night out for me but never turned up and blamed me for not giving her the money to do so. I lost my rag, told her it didn't say bank on my forehead and told her to fuck off.

Couple years later she got back in touch. Met for a coffee but mainly stayed in touch on fb. She bumped into my mum in hairdressers and told her she was surprised I was still with dp because she had told me it wouldn't last (she never said that because I would have set that one straight if she had). She had a right go at me for not attending her wedding after her fiancé had made a racist comment about my dp.

Every now and then I get a friend request that I decline but it makes my blood boil when I think how much I did for her and how she used me.

Sorry this is so long but it's good to get it off my chest!

My son wanted to invite a child from his class for a birthday party. I didn't know the parents. The mum told me that the child could come to the party, but she would have to bring her other 2 DC, is this OK. Fine I said, I knew she wasn't a single mum but assumed husband working or something.

Then they all turn up for the party (30 mins late) - both parents and 3 kids. The parents sat there and started taking cling film off the food and helping themselves. They presented a piece of a4 paper, folded in half with happy birthday written on it, not even my son's name on it. The brother of the invited child started making demands 'I want to play pass the parcel', 'where's my party bag?'.I was gobsmacked. The sad thing is the invited child was very sweet, but she wouldn't be invited again thanks to her parents.

Many men are useless at multitasking, whether they are good husbands/parents or not

Such a ridiculous statement! No wonder men are enabled if women have this stupid attitude

I can't believe some of you let people take the piss for years! Woman up 😀

Only thing that I can think happened to me was when I was a child minder.
I had a wee boy for a week. His parents who both worked in the Civil Service, came to pick him up on the Friday and said they weren't going to pay me. The reasoning was they rented a council house and I had my own house so they were worse off than me.
I asked then what they thought I paid my mortgage with , magic beans? Got the money and told them not to be back.

A former colleague of mine keeps sending me FB friend requests.

The trouble is, when she left our mutual place of work she threatened to leave a letter on the bosses desk, saying that I had been having an affair with a senior member of staff which is why I'd been promoted!

Obs I ignore the friend requests...

Hilariously, I had to give her a reference not long after the above happened!!1

Got caught in the old school run rut of going there anyway so it won't hurt having a friends child walk with us. Problem is it then becomes daily and I have to worry about other child not getting to school if we are off for some reason. I'm sorry but I am not responsible for your child.

Twice I have let this happen, glad my youngest is leaving primary this year

Dh had been made redundant. We had a little money put to one side but it was obviously a worrying time, especially as fil had also been diagnosed with cancer.

DH's mate ran his own business in a field dh knew well, mate was snowed under with work so asked dh if he'd help with a couple of jobs. Dh spent about a week on the stuff when really he should have been job hunting. No money or thanks were ever received.

A few years later dh is working and needs to print two AO size prints. Same friend had a printer this large. Dh went round, printed his two pieces of paper which realistically would have cost pence. As he was leaving friend said "a tenner should cover it".

'Friend' can now kiss my arse.
