Aibu to think my friend is a bit cheeky?

[marie0675]

My friend text asking to borrow my suitcase for a mini break.
I said yes.
She's text saying she wants to come today for it ..I said ok il hurry back from town to be in.
I ask her if she will pop to the cake shop (2 doors from her) and bring me a cake over £3 max and il give her the cash.
She says no sorry can't,got the two boys with me and they will want one,will cost too much.
Will do it another time.
Yet I've just rushed back to be in for her.

The cake shop is 2 doors down from her & her kids are 12 & 14 but she couldn't pick you up a sodding cake?! She could have sent the eldest (or the youngest) along to buy the cake while she got organised to come over. And if she can't say no to them at that age then she's got problems ahead. Wow!!!

Tight bitch could buy her kids a cake too!

12 & 14 !!!!!

What the freak? Has she never said no to them before? If my teens had a tantrum in a shop over cake they would be left in the damm shop.

Kids always want something they cant have, its never been a problem to say no to them despite tantrums when they were small. They soon learn.

Does she plan on never taking her kids anywhere they might see something they want in case they have a 'tantrum'?

Live and learn OP.

Don't do her a favour again.

I think it was probably a excuse really.
She must have thought I wouldn't give her the £3 and she would end up paying for my cake.

I would stop doing her favours! Cf!

She's a CF, I assumed her boys were going to be 2 ish.

When someone tells you what they think of you - believe them.

I am assuming you haven't lent the suitcase on the understanding she buys you cake, so why have you conflated the two?

If you are that sad, just text back telling her you won't be back in time as you are now going to the cake shop and will be delayed, I am sure she will be magically able to collect one for you then...

Seriously

She sounds like a user and a cheeky twat. I cant be arsed with people like that.

Her kids are 12 and 14

And they apparently can’t be told no? Good grief it was bad enough when I thought they were toddlers!

Suitcase has already been collected

She's making good use of you OP, tell her to jog on.

She can afford to go on holiday but cannot afford to buy cakes. So glad you gave her your old case doubt if you will ever see it again. Neither a lender or borrower be so they say.

My boys are 2 and 4, and honestly I would also avoid the cake shop.

We’re 3 weeks into the summer holidays and everything is a battle. I would absolutely avoid the opportunity to teach them this valuable lesson about going into a cake shop but not being allowed a cake, at all costs.

I would have hoped it wouldn’t impact a friends decision to lend me a suitcase, but judging by the responses on this thread, I would probably say thanks for the offer, I’ll pop into Argos and put a suitcase on the credit card.

But 12 and 14,is ridiculous. They can wait in the car and never know she was in the cake shop!

Yeah she thought she would have to be magnanimous and buy you a cake as you are helping her. Cheeky cow. Let this be a lesson to say no more often.

Is she ok for money? There have been times I literally didn't have £3 to but the cake in the first place but wouldn't have admited it. I would have come up with an excuse too.

Who is paying for the mini break?

Lending her your old case will probably turn out to be a wise move. That said, I would have an answer ready in case she comes back angling after your nice new one.

Who is paying for the mini break?

^^

Have to admit I thought this too

No more favours.

Bloody hell!
Just read through again, I too, thought her kids must be 2,3 or 4!
She is one cheeky mare!

She must have thought I wouldn't give her the £3 and she would end up paying for my cake

Says it all really.

She's not your friend. Friends don't think like that.

A swift reply like:

sorry I've just noticed my suitcase is full of damp. It's no longer usable I'm afraid.

Would be b.r.i.l.l.i.a.n.t

Oh cross post! :(

But cheeky fucker alert!!

12 and 14?!

Well she's an utter failure as a parent then isn't she? If children of that age can't stop off in a shop without whining and carrying on because they can't get something, then she needs to take parenting classes.
