CF thread

[WoofWoofMooWoof]

Anybody need to vent about a CF? Do it here .

Today I was doing shopping with my DTDs, and as usual on shopping day, they can pick a treat. So they each picked a lollypop, and then we ran into one of their school friends and her DM. The DM starts telling me off about feeding my DDs sugar, and how it's going to rot their teeth. I tried to explain it is a shopping day treat, but she was having none of it. Kept telling me not to give my DDs sugar! Would I have been U to tell her fuck right off?

Impolite but not unreasonable.;)
Completely none of her business. Tell her so next time.
Cannot stand preachy fuckers!

I don't know if she quite counts as a CF... PF maybe - Preachy Fucker?

For what it's worth I tend to let them rant themselves to a standstill, tell them I shall work day and night to be perfect, just like them, then walk away. Tends to get across to anyone but the most copper-clad of PFs that the diatribe was unwanted.

I think you should have thanked her politely for the information, then asked her more about it, how she found out, is sugar really that bad for teeth, what about things like meringue, are they bad for the teeth too? so what about mars bars? and lollipops have got fruit in so surely they're part of your 5-a-day, etc etc, and see how long you could keep her going for.

On Sat I went to see a show with my dd and at the end there was an opportunity to have a photo taken with the cast for a nominal fee. We queued up and a few minutes later a group of four little girls pushed in. Their mum ran up and told th to queue up and then their aunt pushed them forward saying it didn't matter. So they all jumped the queue and the mum turned round and said 'you don't mind do you?' Before I could reply, she announced to her dds that I didn't mind in her very plummy accent with her swishy blonde hair and Boden dress. You know the type of pushy mc mothers with their identikit children down Kensington high st. My blood was boiling but I couldn't say anything, I was forced to let it go. The cf

Oh YesMam, I would have seen red!

Oh YesMam, I would have seen red!

Oh yes, me too. I would have to have said something though under my breath to my DC, but loud enough for everyone to hear.

Wow, nobody else? I thought there was an abundance of CFs out there lol.

I would have said ‘actually I do mind, do you understand how a queue works? Shall I break it down into simple words for you!’ CF!

Went to walk into the shopping centre before Christmas and see a lady pushing a pram coming towards the door. So I open the door for her and she just walked straight through. So I shouted 'Thank you for opening the door, that's no problem, I always try to do an act of kindness for strangers!' She did glance around, but then carried on walking' but it really annoyed me!!! Saying please and thank you costs nothing in life.
So if you are reading this CF with a pram yes I was p**d off!

OP Edit the title to include the words cheeky fucker and you'll get a lot more posts. Not everyone realises that cf = cheeky fucker.

YesMam I would have had to say something like “children, this is an excellent time to teach you about how not everyone in life knows their manners like you. You see how this lady pushed in front of us? That’s very rude and you should never do that.”

In a loud voice, obviously...

Yesterday I went to buy tickets for a local gig, it didn't take me as long to walk to the place as I expected so I arrived 30 mins early. I was standing there for 20 odd minutes on my own, then other people started to arrive slowly in drips and drabs, all stood politely (well I thought) behind me. Then when the door opened there was a crazy crush as all the quiet/polite people tried to trample everyone to get in first. Gits.

I just sharpened my elbows and pushed in first, I'd been standing there freezing for half an hour!

MIL told me a brilliant CF story recently, years ago someone she worked with told her that she’d love another child but was too busy with work etc, MIL jokingly said ‘have ine and I’ll look after it’. CF moved jobs and MIL thought nothing more if it, even when CF announced she was pregnant a few months later the comment wasn’t mentioned. When the baby was 6 weeks old CF turned up on MILs doorstep and said ‘are you ready to start on Monday?’. MIL looked after the child every week day for 5 years, leaving him with her own Mum while she worked for a few hours in the afternoon! She was paid about £10 a week and the only food ever provided were crappy spaghetti shapes which the child wouldn’t eat! He was also sent with D&V and no spare clothes on occasion!

Snowy - that annoys the hell out of me too. People can be so rude and entitled!

We have some CFs at work who seem to wait 'till someone switches on the kettle, swoop in, use all the boiling water, and when you get there to make your cuppa, there is no boiling water left and the kettle is empty. Grrrrrr. Is it really so hard to refill it and switch it back on again?

MN HQ won't change the thread title .

@percypig84

I'm trying to imagine somebody rocking up to my mum's house and handing over a 6 week old baby without any discussion. She would have laughed at them and shut the door.

MIL isn’t someone you’d normally argue with so I really don’t know how CF got off with it! She loved the child though and actually missed him when he stopped coming.
