Anyone remember the Flexi-time CF?

Thought I'd heard the last of her but unfortunately not. Colleague who left her job due to cheeky fuckery with her flexi-time for those of you who missed the first instalment.

I'm moving between fuming, embarrassed and incredulous at the moment. I've also laughed but I think that's shock more than anything Smile
DH and I were out for the afternoon at a Christmas market. Had a lovely day and stopped at an coffee shop with tables outside before coming home.
We'd been there about 10 minutes when I noticed a group of ladies in their 60's a few tables away and one of them was staring straight at me. I didn't recognise her and carried on with chatting with DH. I noticed her again when all her friends started turning round to have a look. I didn't know any of them.
I'm starting to think she may be someone I'd been in contact with in a work capacity as she is looking quite angry. As I said in the original thread I work with children/families and I have been approached by people previously who have been angry and upset. Only a couple of times though.
I continue to ignore it and we're getting ready to leave. DH goes inside to pay and use the loo and the minute he does this lady gets up and comes over, with her takeaway coffee cup in her hand. I can tell by her face it's not going to be a pleasant chat.
She asks if I'm pleased with myself and I say "I'm sorry, I don't know who you are". She says she's FTCF's mother and who do I think I am to refuse her daughter a reference! Do I realise I've ruined her career and I should be ashamed of myself. Everyone is looking now and I don't want to get into it so I just say she really doesn't have all the information.
She then takes the lid off her coffee and empties it into my fucking handbag on the table and walks off!!!!
I'm absolutely gobsmacked Shock
I'm home now and want to call FTCF and give her a mouthful but DH is trying to talk me out of it.
Maybe I should just have a large G&T Gin

mommy can't be for real.

You're bored / drunk and trying to get a rise, yes?

StaplesCorner · 11/12/2017 22:45

Sorry fish. You are right of course - I shall retire to a safe distance. Wink

DistanceCall · 11/12/2017 22:45

I don’t think Mommy is the FTCF. Too thick.

Well, the FTCT is someone who thought that she got paid to go shopping and genuinely couldn't understand why her fellow workers didn't do the same, but rather did those things in their free time, rather than spending it with their children (with their "2gorgeousgirls", perhaps?)

Mommyto2gorgeousgirls · 11/12/2017 22:45

Hidingbehindthewallpaper it's twat not Hidingbehindthewallpaper. How was dictionary club today...fun 😂 Get a life. You think you can grasp what I mean, just about with my appalling spelling.
It's mommy, mum, mother whatever I want it to be. Thanks

Fishfingersandwichnocheese · 11/12/2017 22:47

Whaaa ??

Traffig · 11/12/2017 22:47

Mommy... Were you all playing Bridge?
I heard it was really three card Brag? Grin

Fishfingersandwichnocheese · 11/12/2017 22:47

I should really go to bed but this is just too good

ImpeachTheOrangeGibbon · 11/12/2017 22:47

Yup. Drunk.

HidingBehindTheWallpaper · 11/12/2017 22:47

Hidingbehindthewallpaper it's twat not Hidingbehindthewallpaper.
What the fuck is that even meant to mean? That doesn’t even make sense.

It's mommy, mum, mother whatever I want it to be.

No it isn’t. You can’t just spell words however you fancy.

Oh and you managed to type my full user name out correctly rather than copy and paste. What a ball ache that must be.

Jux · 11/12/2017 22:49

What the op did was not rat on her colleague, but asked HR to come and clarify how flexi-time worked. CF then went off to HR herself as she didn't believe those rules applied to her, and found that they did. As a consequence of her belief that she was above the rules and that she alone could get paid for not actually working, she singled herself out. OP did not draw attention to CF specifically. CF did a little tantrumming and brough attention to her fraudulent behaviour all by herself.

ArchchancellorsHat · 11/12/2017 22:49

Is mommy drunk as well as being the FTCF?

StrangeLookingParasite · 11/12/2017 22:49

Predictive text often changes words.

Predictive text changes misspelt words into actual words. There is no such word as 'sentace'. Or 'needent'.

You're just shitty you got caught ripping the system off, you lazy trull.

Mayby She is after ruining her computer after throwing coffee at it in the hope it would hit us 🙁😂

DistanceCall · 11/12/2017 22:51

Mommy, if you are the FTCF (as I so much hope you are), start thinking about retraining. Preferably in something that has nothing to do with children. Or people.

And lock your mother up. She's not fit to be in a civilised society.

StrangeLookingParasite · 11/12/2017 22:51

Oh I think we're completely certain, at this point, petal.

ImpeachTheOrangeGibbon · 11/12/2017 22:52

mommy ARE you the FTCF??!

Yes or no?! I can't go to sleep until I know.

Ladymadness · 11/12/2017 22:52

The cf has awoken!! Grin Wine

Abouttoblow · 11/12/2017 22:52

I really don't think Mommy is the FTCF Confused
But let's talk Mommy
Simple question. If one of your 2 gorgeous girls needed help of some description and the person paid by the tax payer couldn't help them because they'd pissed off to take their husband his wedding ring because he went to work without it what would you think/do???
Give me an honest answer.

Mommy - I'm trying (and failing) to envisage a circumstance where it is normal and acceptable behaviour to pour coffee into someone's handbag. Do you do this when someone has annoyed you?
If so, are you quite mad ?

As usual with people who are found out doing something wrong the defence is to blame someone else. The whole thing need not have happened if the CF had not been cheating on her working hours. It is her own fault entirely, presumably this attitude has been instilled in her by her barking-as-all-get-out, coffee pouring mother.

HashiAsLarry · 11/12/2017 22:53

I've found that punctuation you were after. It's ?

LuluJakey1 · 11/12/2017 22:53

Report it to the police- it is an assault.
Report it at work also.

Fishfingersandwichnocheese · 11/12/2017 22:53

I also must know
