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

Well, what can I say? I've just RTFT of your last post! Utterly speechless that someone does this shit?! And then her own mother carrying on like that?! Wow! Is it bad that I want you to fight fire with fire OP?? I couldn't let it go!

Inertia · 09/12/2017 23:25

One issue to consider is that the mother instantly recognised you even though you had no idea who she was. It's probably a stretch too far to suggest that the pair of them are stalking you, but they certainly seem to be gettting into the beginnings of a harassment campaign. It would be worth trying to get some restrictions in place to stop them contacting you, and double check your social media security.

Jux · 09/12/2017 23:29

Wow! I was on your old thread; totally shocked by CF’s text and her mum’s behaviour. Clearly your ex-colleague has a weak relationship with truth and honesty!

A lot of damage could have been done with that coffee. If your phone had been soaked, or if you’d had any other electronic gadgets in the bag, or it had swamped your wallet and ruined photos of your children, etc etc.

I’m glad you’re reporting it, as it seems to me that these two may very well continue to harrass and target you if not warned off.

AdoraBell · 09/12/2017 23:30

Yes, yes, YES to suing the woman for damage to the hand bag.

Unbelievable does not cover it.

ImDoingLaundry · 09/12/2017 23:31

Just read both threads Shock cannot believe these people exist!!

She probably showed her mum your Facebook page and cried that you're the bitch who refused to help her out in desperate times.

Or her mum is just a nut job too.

AdoraBell · 09/12/2017 23:42

Just seen about the text. Report that too. Police will be interested in what appears to be harassment.

Hope you are enjoying the Gin well done Mr Abouttoblow and coffee shop peeps 👍

IslingtonLou · 09/12/2017 23:43

This woman and her mother are delusional!

You ruined her career? No, she did that by being a shit employee and walking out without working her notice. I bet she painted a completely different, innocent picture to her mother. Why would you give her a reference where she was A. Shit, B. Not your direct employee and C. You’re not even close?

Her trash mother attacked you so how did you ruin her night exactly? By just being in attendance at the same venue? Stupid woman

I’m angry for you OP. Don’t know how they think they’re in the right. I would post a

IncyWincyGrownUp · 09/12/2017 23:43

I followed your old thread, and had honestly thought it would have calmed down. I’m sorry for you that it hasn’t. Hopefully a chat with the police will calm them down.

As an aside, most killing bags I’ve had have been more than happy to be washed at 30° with a bit of wash powder. I’ve got coffee out of them frequently, as I’m a clumsy bugger. Won’t work on the newer leather ones though.

ByeByePrivacy · 09/12/2017 23:43

Well done to your lovely husband, and also the coffee shop owner and community policing. Hopefully her harassment text will be dealt with as well.

IncyWincyGrownUp · 09/12/2017 23:44

Kipling* not killing. That’ll teach me to post without proof reading!:o

IslingtonLou · 09/12/2017 23:44

Post a photo of your new bag tomorrow on social media, your husband sounds lovely.

OK so just checking I have this straight

C quits a job without no notice, massively inconveniencing the company.

On finding a new job C realises that line manager at this company will not give a good reference.

So C asks OP to referee instead. OP declines as inappropriate given she was not C's line manager.

For the above situation C's mother blames OP for ruining C's career and attacks OP.

Due to this attack, C blames OP for ruining her mother's day by deliberately being assaulted.

So glad you're reporting this. These people are unhinged!

Monkeyinshoes · 10/12/2017 00:02

Terrible behaviour.

Her mother is upset because she's bricking it that you'll report to the police. FTCF text blaming you is to make you doubt your own memory of what happened.

lizsparkles · 10/12/2017 00:17

This is insane. But stay strong and ignore.

Phalenopsisgirl · 10/12/2017 00:18

This is amazing cfuckery! I’m already desperate for an update

HidingBehindTheWallpaper · 10/12/2017 00:19

I’m not troll hunting but a good part of me wants this to not be true as I don’t want to think that such delusional people exist.

How is she blaming you for ruining her mother’s day?

MurmmersShow · 10/12/2017 00:56

They both cray-cray!

HiggeldyPiggeldy · 10/12/2017 01:42

they are both as mad as each other. Glad you have reported what happened with her mother, she will find that actions have consequences! I think if you had not reported it, things might have been worse the next time you had the misfortune to bump in to either of them

ohfourfoxache · 10/12/2017 01:57

I’m absolutely astounded at this Shock

I’m sure the police will be able to track her down. HR will have CF’s address for a start, and it’s amazing what even the general public can access via the electoral roll etc....

sashadjas · 10/12/2017 02:59

Having just read preceding thread as well
Hxhdhdtysfgjgfifjfjvgigggg OmifuckingodWHATwasthatnow???? Are you sure this isn't some sort of elaborate back-story set-up for another Jeremy Kyle toothachingly excruciating cringefest spin-off series launch...? Because without dislocating my brain I cannot get my head around FTCF and her DM's gobsmackingly mind numbing BOVINE COMMITMENT TO ABSOLUTE FUCKWITTERY!
Ps I'd have lost a good few days on the Russian Standard version of your G&T diet lovey, you're doing grand! StarStarStar xxx

Mummyoflittledragon · 10/12/2017 04:04

I commented on your last thread but never got the ending. Shock. That was quite an update. I’d report as much as I can to the police and hopefully there will be consequences for both crazy women. The level of nastiness and entitlement is unreal.
