Friend asked to 'borrow DP'

Tell me please AIBU to be fucking livid with my 'friend'? she's been having problems with her EXP over their 3 DCs.
She called me this evening to ask if DP will be busy on Saturday (err it's Christmas EveHmm) and could she 'borrow' him. I asked her what for and she very brazenly told me that she's having problems with the kids Dad and could he come over for when he picks up the children as their dad is racist and will hate the sight of a 'big black bloke' in his house! She seemed so smug and pleased with herself about the idea. I was so stunned I couldn't speak for a minute, I then just very curtly said 'DP is busy on Saturday and put the phone down.'
I've now had two texts asking "are you ok?" and "are you ignoring me?"
I'm trying to resist the urge to call her back and tell her she's a racist, using twat!
What the fuck?! She wants to subject my DP to a possible racist verbal attack and have her kids witness that all for the sake of winding the guy up? Angry

"Don't mind him in the house".
She's sounds horrible and you will be well rid of her.

My six-foot rugby player friend opened the door and the bad person ran away', which have been greeted with general hilarity and acceptance (well, mostly).

It is amusing in a poetic justice sort of way when it's not pre-meditated.

OP you're a better woman than I am!

Well done!

Hissy · 21/12/2016 17:56

Sheesh! She's utterly clueless!

You're well shot

Mind? MIND??

"don't mind him in the house"

FFS sounds like she's talking about a pet Angry

aliasjoey · 21/12/2016 20:37

Sorry the "don't mind him in the house" was my interpretation of how people I know might think, I was trying to get inside her head and see it from her point of view.

We don't know exactly what the OPs friend was thinking, it may not be as bad as that... (or indeed, could be a lot worse)

akittencalledjesus · 21/12/2016 22:43

Any further contact attempts from the crazy woman, OP?

hungryhippo90 · 21/12/2016 22:54

Fucking hell, in 2016? Who thinks like that?
Oh I know what I'll do, I'll Borrow my mates bloke, to put him in a really volatile situation where he's likely to get racially abused, and or assaulted.
That's really fucking nasty,

Also pp above- "white trash" means nothing in the UK, the whole trailer park culture is an American insult and I don't believe for a second someone found that offensive.

I think a quick search on MN (especially Baby Names) will show you that this is not true. It is certainly gaining currency in the UK as an offensive term. I have reported people for using it and others have as well. It's a very offensive term and is racist against both white and black people.

All quiet so far, will update if she turns up.

I'm kind of expecting an AIBU from her:

"My ex of >4 years is a total racist and a cunt so when he picks up the kids on Christmas Eve I would like my friend's DP, who is a big black man, to be there as it will piss my ex right off. However, friend has gone totally crazy. AIBU to think she is totally overreacting? I thought friends were supposed to be supportive. She's now ignoring me for some reason, waffling on about me subjecting her DP to racial abuse in front of my kids or something."

FurryLittleTwerp · 22/12/2016 11:06

kitten I suspect that is exactly what she is thinking, because she won't be able to see the problem!

She may well have tried to call but if she is blocked it wont have notified you. sometimes it comes up as a rejected call in your call log.
