Cheeky Fuckers Of The Year Awards

After reading of the four year babysitting I think we need CFOTY awards. Who are your nominees?

OP posts:

Parking category - winner: the neighbours running the dog grooming place who were directing their clients to use the poster's drive, with a close runner-up for next door's nanny blocking a drive because the neighbours didn't want her parking on theirs.

Work category - Flexi-time CF and her mother.

I love a CF thread.

I'll nominate the part time colleague CF and then said colleagues mum who threw coffee into the OPs handbag 😱

Bitsandbobsalot · 20/12/2017 14:14

My vote goes to the flexi time cf, who’s mum ended up tipping coffee in the op’s handbag
Loved that thread

whiskyowl · 20/12/2017 14:17

I think the most heartbreaking is Watty's story. Those people just made her life so miserable.

Mexican house thief and coffee handbag cheeky fucker were gold!

Qwertythekeyboard · 20/12/2017 14:18

Does anybody have links to these brilliant sounding threads please? I have been reading for a little while so know the flexi-time CF and family but not the others!

Maudlinmaud · 20/12/2017 14:19

When did the cheeky fucker phenomenon start on mumsnet? It must be fairly new and now every other thread has CF in the title. I just don't get it. It is the most irritating aspect of the entire place and I suspect 9 times out of 10 it's blatant trolling.
Sorry this won't make me very popular. Knock yourselves out. Merry Christmas.

snash12 · 20/12/2017 14:20

Gotta be workzilla and flexi-time CF.

AFingerofFudge · 20/12/2017 14:22

My memory is crap so apologies this is vague, but there was one 2-3 years ago about somebody bringing a load of friends to a ski chalet and completely out-stayed their welcome and messed it up ?

paxillin · 20/12/2017 14:25

Agreed, @Maudlinmaud. They might start with a real story of brass neck. Posters are then lapping up the ever more elaborate punishment and army of helpers. This pushes the OP to start embellishing. Themes and nicknames emerge and soon it is fiction pure and simple.

charlyn · 20/12/2017 14:25

I remember one a few months ago where the CF wanted to bring her baby and husband on somebodies hen night.

NotACleverName · 20/12/2017 14:26

It’s going to be a hard choice between Flexi-time CF and Shagzilla.

FacelikeaBagofHammers · 20/12/2017 14:26

The 6 week free childcare CF was MADNESS. That's my CF winner right there. That neighbour was pure nuts.

What's the Mexican House Thief one? Need to have a read ....

SuperSange · 20/12/2017 14:29

Oh God. Mexican house thief. No question.

KatharinaRosalie · 20/12/2017 14:34

Ooh weeks child care was grea too, is it the same as Workzilla? And weren't the kids like 12?

I remember one a few months ago where the CF wanted to bring her baby and husband on somebodies hen night. was this the one where they discovered she had secretly brought them in the end and they were in bride's room?

scampimom · 20/12/2017 14:40

WORKzilla and free haircut/raffle lady for my money.

No-one is forcing you to read the CF threads!

StephiD3 · 20/12/2017 14:44

There are so many! Wattyyys had me in hysterics until the recent update where it didn’t have a happy ending then it made me really sad 🙁

Mexican House Thief And Flexi Time were unreal!!

Also (it was on another post) but the guy who dropped his son off at his neighbour so he could have a bit with his girlfriend against the open kitchen window 😱

Funnyface1 · 20/12/2017 14:47

Can someone link the 6 weeks free childcare one? Is it the workzilla one?

whiskyowl · 20/12/2017 14:49

Mexican house thief is on this thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/a1735637-Have-you-ever-encountered-anyone-this-cheeky
Look for WeAreEternal's post, Sat 20-Apr-13 14:52:07.

Beakyplinders · 20/12/2017 14:57

Dog groomer cf gets my vote, followed by the neighbour down the road who used OP's drive for their carer and couldn't stop, can't remember what the guy was called (it's been a long day already!).

stilltheykeepcoming · 20/12/2017 15:03

I nominate Bingate, where a CF neighbour kept rounding up all the bins in the road and putting them in the OP's back garden.

And a huge box of chocs for Wattyyy xx

Beakyplinders · 20/12/2017 15:23

Nicolarse and cuntaline! I just remembered their names 😂

FilthyforFirth · 20/12/2017 15:27

Flexitime CF and the woman who brought her husband and toddler to a hen do get my vote!!

MissTeri · 20/12/2017 15:43

Bloody hell have only just now read the mexican house thief and my jaw is on the floor!!! These CF stories always have me shocked because I don't think I've ever encountered anyone like these people in my life.

turquoise88 · 20/12/2017 15:47

Oh gosh, there was one maybe last year where the OP and her DP gave a bride and groom a generous cash gift (about £100 I think). OP had inherited a substantial sum of money from a family member and she had an email from the bride after the wedding asking them if they wanted to reconsider their gift given their current financial position.

I never did read to the end of the thread to see the final outcome.

MissTeri · 20/12/2017 15:50

turquoise88 I remember that one too ... wasn't that the 'cancel the cheque' one?
