To suggest she pays half?

[Mrbluethecatt]

I broke my arm on Tuesday and have a stooky. The doctor said I cannot drive.

I am going to a friend's birthday party tonight at her house and had intended to drive as I don't drink. I had agreed to give another friend a lift. I called this friend on Wednesday to let her know and suggested we get a taxi instead and go halfs. My friend didn't disagree.

I called friend to confirm what time to pick her up she mentioned that she thinks I should pay for the taxis as I initially offered to give her a lift. She tinkly laughed after mentioning this. I laughed too and said fair enough I'll meet you there instead. Thinking she was joking. She wasn't. She has texted to say if I don't pay for the taxis there and back so won't be going.

Aibu to expect her to pay half? The cost would be about £5 each. Should I pay and never offer to give her a lift again?

The bloody cheek of her! I'm gobsmacked. Has she always been so grabby?

Let us know what you've said

She's no friend of yours

Glad you went to the Party girlie x

Another one where "lol" would cover it.

I don't use Facebook account. But I think you should put expats message on her FB wall. Cheeky mare.

Cheeky mare on several counts.

• Why couldn't husband Skemyou and her to the party?
• her medical degree in broken areas. not!

- borrowing your lawn mower.

• expecting your dh to transport it!

Even if dh was at home. no you cannot borrow the lawnmower, your dh can drag his arse out and buy one. Use the money you have saved over the years from the free lifts.

"Not that broken"...

PLEASE................................. to her to foook off x

Tell her the lawnower is a bit broken.

Tell her your lawnmower is a little bit broken...

Snap @diddl 😂

She's got some brass neck, that one!

Tell her your lawnmower is also broken.

Sorry - subtext to that last was to dare her to ask "how broken?" re. the lawnmower...

Her loss I would say!

Please tell her where to get off. She needs to know her behavior is ridiculous.

The nerve of this woman! She must still be drunk from last night

I called her and told her no. She can't borrow it as I felt she is taking the piss. I told her she was cheeky to think I would pay her taxi and bloody rude not offering a lift and going without me. I told her our friendship should be give and take but all she does is take. She was all - your overreacting, your in pain so maybe we should talk later etc. Being quite patronising. Like immediately being unreasonable. So I told her we should talk later, after my arm is less broken and when she realises I'm not a mug. I told her she was a shitty friend and she needs too fuck off and hung up on her.

PLEASE just ignore her and absolutely do not loan her the lawnmower!

I knew the non-apology text was just a prelude to wanting to leech off you again, but I wasn't expecting it to be this soon! Does she have a history of scrounging for things other than lifts?

Cross post.

Good one OP! Well done. :D

Nice one op. Nothing that she didn't deserve. Bloody selfish behaviour when you've broken your arm too.

Good on you OP! Has she tried to contact you after?

Well done!

Good on you, she certainly is a user isen't she!
