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

I love this thread and all who sail in her

Op - you are not vindictive, spiteful or whatever else has been levelled at you. You are incredibly calm in all the batshitness

I am still giggling over a lot of the stuff from in here. Gin for everyone

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 13/12/2017 11:51

@SchadenfreudePersonified - you are an absolute genius! How have I not met Vanka and Vlad before?

SchadenfreudePersonified · 13/12/2017 12:02

Were you not on the CF Builder/Neighbours thread STDG.

It was a thread against the world! A Prince among threads - it had poetry, dancing, musical theatre, flags of all nations, a paella pan-weilding Spanish Abuela, nostril cream, People From the Planning Department (Listed Buildings Section), gorilla tape, wine (lots of wine) Ken from the Shop, Vlad and Vanka with the paella pan (and some torture) and of course, Beetroot!

It was a thing of beauty, that thread, and I would recommend it to anyone who is feeling down in the dumps. It ran to (IIRC) 10, glorious episodes. I have never laughed s much in my life! Sadly, the follow-up to the original problem has been unfortunate, as things seemed to be taking much longer to sort out than expected. But it is definitely worth a read - if you have a fortnight with nothing to do, binge-read it to get the full effect.

It also has its own Trello board . . .

If this was a novel, I'd totally buy it. Wonder what it would be called....
FTCF and CFCF might need to be renamed. Why do I think they are Sharon and Janet?

I love Vlad and Vanka! Nice work, Schaden Grin

QuitMoaning · 13/12/2017 13:40

There have been some gems on this but I think we missed @GreenTulips little gem from Monday:

Can I get a T Bag I don't like coffee.

I think this is genius

SchadenfreudePersonified · 13/12/2017 13:42

I agree Quit - that was a diamond!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 13/12/2017 13:46

They could well be Sharon and Janet, Sharon Cheeky-Effer Flexi-Fiddler, and her mother Janet Cheeky-Effer.

Nothing like double double-barrels to get the blood running hot . . . Grin

Well if it was Costa then throwing it away is the best option. Its like something your toddler would make with garden soil😝

I remember this thread, where will I find it catch up ?

BuggerOffAndGoodDayToYou · 13/12/2017 15:02

I've been lurking from the start with nothing helpful/witty to add but I have to unlurk to say....

YAY! VLAD AND VANKA! ❤️

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 13/12/2017 15:08

How did I miss that, @Schadenfreude? It sounds hilarious - and just what I need, after a morning of wrapping christmas presents (all the stocking presents for the boys and dh, plus some for posting - approx 53 separate things to wrap), all on just a pint of coffee and three mini marshmallows!!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 13/12/2017 15:09

Boringly, though, the coffee was just in a mug, not in any sort of handbag.

I have let you down, I have let the Cheeky Fuckers down, I have let myself down.

LakieLady · 13/12/2017 15:52

Dreamt of handbags and gladrags last night.

Perhaps this thread needs its own playlist. May I suggest

One More Cup Of Coffee (B Dylan)
Papa's Got A Brand New Bag (J Brown)

Ah @SchadenfreudePersonified the joys of SpanGran and her paella pan and the Cf builders was under a things of magnificence!

gingergenius · 13/12/2017 16:17

Indeed not under!!!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 13/12/2017 17:22

I have let you down, I have let the Cheeky Fuckers down, I have let myself down.

It was a Thread among Threads . . .

Tinkie25 · 13/12/2017 18:43

Had a really bad day at work and this thread has cheered me right up.

Abouttoblow · 13/12/2017 19:34

I have laughed so hard whilst catching up Grin

I know nothing of Vlad and Vanka (yet) but have already decided I need them in my life.

Evening folks!
Is it nearly time for a Panto villain or three to enter... full of cheeky fuckery?

Don't forget to boo hiss OR if OP is online shout:

"Cheeky Feckers behind you!" Wink
