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

Great update, im glad CFgran got told off

Loving the mug handbags!

Abouttoblow · 16/12/2017 19:01

I have now decided that some lovely designers read about the FTCF and CFCF and made those mugs just for me.
That definitely happened Grin

That's not nice KH.

HidingBehindTheWallpaper · 17/12/2017 17:21

I agree. That is really unpleasant.

KH Sorry to disappoint you but I asked my manager to bring Personnel in to go over the flexi rules. No one, including the FTCF, would link that to me.
So they won't be thinking of me as a Nosy Parker or a Snitch Wink and certainly won't be concerned about me bringing up their "dastardly deeds" to anyone.

Blimey KH that was unnecessarily dark! And a load of bollocks to boot. Unless you are FTCF???

GreenTulips · 17/12/2017 17:57

The One who will not live and let live

What rubbish! I'm siren OP and her fellow works know the difference between someone who nips out to make a quick call/ needs to leave early for an appointment/poorly child/ etc and someone who clocks in and swans off to the coffee shop!

OP sis the right thing and CF Jung herself

GreenTulips · 17/12/2017 17:57

Hung

DistanceCall · 17/12/2017 18:04

Another member of the CF clan, KH?

Whocansay · 17/12/2017 18:16

OP, if anyone does link it to you, they will no doubt shower you with gifts for helping to get rid of the workshy CF. Everyone else will have hated the lazy bitch too.

Crikey KH. You’re a right one and no mistake. I wish there were more people like OP who aren’t afraid to take action. In this case it was just a car of reminding everyone of the rules that make it fair for everyone. I’d rather have someone like her in the office than one of the bloody “don’t grass” arseholes. If someone cheats, they’re cheating everyone.

gingergenius · 17/12/2017 21:59

Presumably KH doesn't believe in whistleblowing. Glad s/he isn't my colleague!

I reckon she may once have been the OPs colleague though Grin

Traffig · 17/12/2017 22:16

Must be closing time at the Royston Vasey Arms.

Abouttoblow · 17/12/2017 22:34

Oh no KH I shall have to rethink everything I believe in.
I'll go sit in the corner and think about what I've done.
I'll get back to you after my epiphany Grin
