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

Omg these threads are unbelievable! Placemarking so hard right now!!!

@sashadjas - "I cannot get my head around FTCF and her DM's gobsmackingly mind numbing BOVINE COMMITMENT TO ABSOLUTE FUCKWITTERY!" --- me too! And this is my favourite description of total fuckwittery ever!

"Actions have consequences." - @Abouttoblow I cant believe she sent this to you! This woman has to have the absolute LEAST UNDERSTANDING OF THOSE WORDS OUT OF ANYONE, EVER, IN ALL HUMANKIND!

Sorry, just got through both threads and was bursting to add my two pence Grin... here you go OP Gin and Flowers because its horrible when people are nasty and do intimidating shit to you.

Pure gold. The thread that keeps on giving.

MiddleClassProblem · 11/12/2017 23:58

Predictive text does store typos if you have done them before but it doesn’t automatically misspell. It will change words it doesn’t know to words it does but I’m fairly sure it knows the words you used.

Don’t worry, we all make mistakes. I’ve only just fully understood the difference between effect and affect this year 🤦🏽‍♀️

HidingBehindTheWallpaper · 12/12/2017 00:00

I haven't said I was a mother until It was assumed because of my username. Which seemed fitting as this is mumsnet

Back up there a moment.
Are you saying that you have only joined to post on this thread?

Hebenon · 12/12/2017 00:01

Is Mommy saying she's not actually a mother, she just called herself that? Because that is batshit.

Traffig · 12/12/2017 00:02

Sweet dreams OP! Top day! Flowers

bluesu · 12/12/2017 00:02

Mommy is the handbag wrecking granny, fo sho.

God this is glorious. OP, Mommy has been told not to contact you and she’s stalking you online!!! Soon though she’ll be changing her name to ASBO-Gran!

DistanceCall · 12/12/2017 00:10

Is it very unusual that you're exhausted but are unable to go to sleep because you're laughing so hard?

StrangeLookingParasite · 12/12/2017 00:10

predictive text changes all sorts of words to whatever it likes

Yes, but it changes it to actual words. Not gibberish.

Traffig · 12/12/2017 00:20

I predict that there will be a fair few handbag related dreams tonight!

Could be a whole new thread....Grin

midnightmisssuki · 12/12/2017 00:21

Wtaf! Report the crazy woman!

EBearhug · 12/12/2017 00:25

Yes, but it changes it to actual words. Not gibberish.

Not always. Mine will change it to gibberish. Mostly I catch it and fix it, but some sneak through, which pisses me off, because I am pedantic about spelling. (As an example, it corrected pisses to posses. And added a random apostrophe.)

Cagliostro · 12/12/2017 00:25

I think we should all write to the good people at Thermos and ask them to design a handbag. That way you could bring your coffee from home and save the effort and cost of having a random granny pour in your Costa

CheshireChat · 12/12/2017 00:30

Autocorrect will change words to 'gibberish' if you have the audacity to write things in any other languages, particularly if the words have the same origin it will be quite insistent.

I doubt that's what happened here though, but figured i should mention it.

CheshireChat · 12/12/2017 00:31

Cagliostro Grin.

Glad to see you around.

Wisteriastreet · 12/12/2017 00:38

Mommyto2gorgeousgirls has disappeared from any MN searches. What’s that about? How can a user disappear?

Hebenon · 12/12/2017 00:40

No she hasn't! But she is a new user so either troll or CF. Probably troll, tbh, fun as it might be to have CF live on here!

LapdanceShoeshine · 12/12/2017 00:51

EBearhug, my autocorrect always changes eg piss off to puss off.

But it would never create sentace for sentence Grin
