The next thread...

Fingers crossed for a nice update for you all.

Id let f2 comment stand, let people know what she's done!
Warn others!
I second telling the pta also what she's said to you...

OP Ex F1 is using the 'attack as the best form of defence' approach. It's her, not you.

Pictish It wouldn't have been sorted with a conversation unless the Op rolled over and did what her cf friend wanted, thereafter, having done it once, repeat donations would have been expected. My mil is just like this, and after 25 years of falling for it, I got wise to her manipulations. I'm glad that the OP has seen F1 for what she is.

Of course it could have been sorted out eventually with a frank conversation.

F1 point-blank refused to engage in any such conversation, insisting that she would be standing her ground until kung capitulated.

Aww what a shitty friend OP. I would be furious at that FB status and would have let F2 keep her post up so all the sympathy givers would see it for what it is.

Can't believe your mate treated you like that. And for what it's worth, I think a lot of people would be gobsmacked at what she did in the salon and also been unable to respond out of sheer shock.

Advise that you’re friend deletes her response OP.
But let it stay there for an hour or two before you do so.....

But F1 was not acting rationally. You can't argue with irrational. experienced thanks to MIL

Sadly pictish I can't see this ending on any good note unless OP lay flatter than the ground and did the FREE Cut and Colour

I've said my bit and I'm leaving it at that. Goodnight all.

What an awful child she is! This is just amazing. You've been very clearly and demonstrably wronged here - by CF directly - and yet, out of kindness, you still went out of your way to not cause her embarrassment. But somehow, still, she is inventing ways to play the victim! She, effectively, attempted to STEAL £50 of your money and an hour and a half of your time, yet somehow SHE has been victimised! She's deluded!

That's really big of you, to have F2 remove the comment. You've got more dignity than I have! I'd want her to leave it up for all to see, after everything she's done! :D It was very kind of F2 to defend you, and it's so good to know she's got your back that way. Plus, anybody who has seen the comment now knows that CF is a CF and a liar and/or attention seeker.

Ohh ((((hugs)))) for you @Kung. What a shitty situation.

Night pictish Sleep Well

KingFu, I do really think that if you respond or react to her latest nonsense it will only make you look bad. Step away from it, now. Let F2 and F3 deal with it in whatever way they li, they're grown ups and can decide for themselves.

You keep out of it, have a restful time, eat chocolate, and let it all go. Not worth your attention any more.

I'm stunned that anybody reading this situation can feel anything other than 'sheer exasperation' for the OP being ignored at every turn after her Services had been Offered up as a Free Prize.. by someone else.. at a PTA.. OP was Ignored relentlessly.. to the point where she had to contact 'other friends' and STILL didn't get a response ... or am I reading an entirely different thread ... I'm baffled as to how anyone could blame OP in anyway shape or form for the end result.. WATF

No one is blaming the Op. they are saying they may have handled it differently.

How though ?

because we've been given a blow by blow account if how she tried desperately to contact this 'Generous with other people's money' Friend ? and was blocked at every turn.. so please tell me how ?

I'd genuinely love to know what she could have done differently ?

I’m only going off how I would handle my friends. No matter how awful they were being, I wouldn’t deliberately embarrass them like that. The outcome may be the same with someone like F1. But I wouldn’t embarrass them. Not in that way.

I really like the sound of F2 tbh, clearly not afraid to call a spade a spade.

that's all very reasonable when all parties are in full and frank communication ... but this wasn't what happened here..

F1 humiliated the OP.. by offering her Services Free and easy at a PTA meeting without first asking or informing OP she had done so... then blocked all contact with the OP when asked why she had done this without asking ...

So I'm still not following why people keep thinking the OP's business should be used as a Free for All.. without even being asked... the OP has been treated appallingly ... F1 is a gradeA RAT

I wish F2 was my friend!

Yes totally second the people here who say not to take down the post .. in fact I would add more details like you realising it only when you saw the poster out. That highlights how cheeky she was . This fb post by f2 still does not show the entire picture so people can still misjudge you. Don't allow that op- I am also a person who has been a doormat for long enough to realise that people like her will always justify her faults and will never bend down . Sleep over it but pls do stand up for yourself !

pictish Are you F1?

I'm utterly astounded by the update OP. What a complete CF.

Big kudos to F2 for that comment

id also let friend 2s comment stand. she doesnt have to say anything else or get drawn into a spat.

and kungfu - i would really now just wash your hands of the whole prize giving thing. withdraw it and walk away with your head held high - you have done nothing but try and there comes a time to say "ah fuck it" you have nothing at all to lose. f1 does. and id let her.

God Ex F1 has some front. I can't believe her attitude. F2 posted a fantastic reply. Hope it doesn't get deleted. She's the kind of friend you want

Ah well, fuck it, it's all done now.

NEXT!

Sending you a comradely slap on the back and virtual gin. It's really, really horrible when someone you thought was a mate, someone you had put up with for years as being a bit selfish and thoughtless because: mates, longterm pals and all that, suddenly does that ripping-off-the-mask thing and shows you what a nasty bit of work they really are.

This is going to sting and burn for a while, but it will get better. Your other mates have clearly got your back (and there's plenty of sympathy and support on MN too) and you haven't done anything wrong.
