Your cf of the day story please.

[Aprilshowersnowastorm]

Just got into my car to do the school run-(not parked right outside) , glanced at my front door and see a man standing there, stared at him while he put out his cigarette in the ashtray my ds keeps tucked beside a plant pot!! Then he walked off!!
Speechless tbh!!
Who has been your cf today?

@Talith, did you see the woman on a local buy & sell FB page? She had 4 of the Beatrix Potter 50p coins & was selling them, but for “only £1 because 2 of them were the same”

People kept trying to tell her but she wasn’t having it. Very odd. I think she deleted it in the end.

I was at a fast food restaurant yesterday, trying to buy a quick bite before driving back home to pick up the big one from school. There’s a queue of people waiting for their stuff to come out. I need to check on the ingredients in a certain meal and ask if anyone else is waiting. No is the mumbled reply from the teenagers in the queue. I get to the counter and a business man leaps out of the toilet nearby and practically screams at me “there’s a queue you know.” (He had already ordered and was waiting for food) My baby in the buggy bursts into tears at the screaming and the man behind the counter snarls at me to “shut it up”
I almost went nuclear and proceeded to stand on the business mans lovely, shiny shoes accidentally on purpose and told them they were both entitled, self-absorbed a-holes. As I walked out, they called the next spotty teenagers forward to collect their meal and the business man launched into a rant that he was there first.
Thankfully I can choose another restaurant in that town and I’m aware of the business the man is attached to (it was on his lanyard) so I have reported his attitude to his superiors (as he was wearing their logos at the time)

It's not up to silvercuckoo's friend to offer tickets to someone else, even to save wasting them. It's up to silvercuckoo, as she bought them.

@silvercuckoo
At least say, 'It was so odd, I tried to give your tickets to another family so they wouldn't be wasted and they'd already been cashed. ISN'T THAT ODD?'

Or this:

silvercuckoo, please call her out on it, please text her and say that you tried ot refund the tickets and were told that they had already been refunded, 'so glad you managed to refund, could you let me have my £100 as soon as you can'

Beetlebum, the last time that happened to me in Homebase after a 20 minute slow tour of the park hoping to find a space, I properly lost it. I actually got out of my car, which I parked right behind the CF who had nipped into the space, and banged on her window asking her whether she thought I was just parked there waiting with my indicator on to show I was moving into the space just for the sheer hell of it. She refused to engage.
But - and this was a lovely thing - a lady parked behind her gestured to me (I feel she must have been a MN-etter) and said she'd seen the whole thing, agreed with me on the CFeriness of it all and was about to leave the carpark, but would wait until I drove round and only then would she go so I could take her space. Did wonders for my car park rage.

Yesterday. Sent older DS into his swimming lesson then took toddler DS into the waiting area with tables and chairs where families can watch lessons through window. Hardly anyone buys food or drinks (though you can buy snacks and coffees), many do homework, eat packed lunches, entertain youngsters with magazines or whatever. All very informal and people often share tables. There's an empty table with 3 chairs around it, one chair empty, two chairs with bags on. Nothing on table. No people at it. No other free chairs anywhere in the room.

So I sit on the empty chair with DS perched on my lap, slightly turned away from the table and consciously not putting anything on the table as I didn't need to and didn't know who had obviously 'reserved' the spot (though you can't reserve it really and it's not a cafe in that sense).

Moments later a woman comes up and says in an irritated voice, 'sorry I reserved this table'. I say 'that's OK I'm not using the table, I just need one chair (indicating DS sat on my lap) unless you need it'. She huffs and says 'but my daughter needs to do her homework'.

So I get up and say 'OK, I'll go somewhere else then', move away, stand there watching while she and her DD sit down and start homework, third chair still just has bag on it. So I go up to her and say 'Sorry, are you actually using that chair because if not I'd like to sit on it please' and take the chair away.

It just felt so entitled. If that had been me I would have said 'we need the table if that's OK but you can stay there', or possibly even just acknowledge that you can't reserve tables. I mean it's a shared space for people using the pool, not a homework club! AIBU or she a CF?

My cf neighbour has just informed me he intends to knock down the 8 foot dividing wall between our listed building houses.
Gutted.
Informed the council who said he would have to apply to listed building services for permission but he is such a cf he won't bother.
Council did say they can force him to rebuild it.
Hope so.

I didn't get the wine but they have put enough credit on my account that I effectively get a free bottle next time I order.

@Aprilshowersnowastorm that would properly give me The Rage and I would be making sure he never wronged me again!
I haven't had any CFery against me today, but I did have someone nick my parking space that I was clearly waiting for the other day.

We moved here specifically because it a super enclosed for our ddogs. He runs a B&B and I don't want strangers being able to watch us in our garden. Gutted.

@Aprilshowersnowastorm - Can you shop him to the listed building services now?

Get a contact name & direct phone number for reference, so the moment he starts work on demolition, then you can get back through to them ASAP?

Going to wait til he announces his plans to all and sundry as is his way. He won't know who rang if I hang fire - then I will do just that. He is assuming he owns the wall even though he says he cant find his deeds. We rent and I don't want to enquire myself as he likely knows the owner (we rent). I have reported he has attached a new fence to the front without permission. It's a bloody eye sore! I am no way a busy body but he rants he all but owns the street because he owns the B&B.

Not today, a couple of weeks ago. It was my DTDs birthday and we baked and decorated a cake. There was loads left so I sent some along when I dropped them off with their 'D'F for the weekend. Found out after the weekend that he refused to let them have any, and threw the whole lot in the bin! They were devastated, as it was their birthday and they had baked the cake.

This was all because he doesn't want me giving them sugar, but he takes them to McDs and Kaspas whenever it suits him! And it was their birthday FFS. And he still wonders why I left him .

Did my food shop on Sunday and as I went to return my trolley a man tried to take it off me- like pull it out my hands not ask for it. I asked him to leave it and he said but I don’t have a pound.
Tough shit go into the shop and get change then.

OP you can try the land registry, you can download deeds from there for a small fee.

@Fromage your over the road neighbours should call the council & inform them someone without a blue badge is parking in a designated disabled spot. They will happily have a parking warden stick a ticket on their car. That will stop him parking there

Some of these are shocking! But they have kept me entertained

Not today but last yr, my CF school friend came home from where she lives abroad with her DD, her mum lives nxt door to me she kept asking for my broadband password but I kept saying I didn’t want to give it out, anyway she managed to get it off my DH, I thought it had been running slow, so I changed the password she then txt my DH asking why the broadband wasn’t working as her DD was ill & needed it! This started a major argument where my DH said I was in the wrong to change password & took her side! I’ve not spoken to her since this happened & can’t see why I was in the wrong?!

Friendship is friendship afterall..

As long as it's both ways, silvercuckoo…

I’m not sure why your OP is an example of CF. You have an ashtray outside ; someone used it and?

Who would walk up someone's path and hunt out an ash tray?!
Except cf man of course!!

Not mine, but partner nipped into supermarket at the weekend. Used the self checkout and witnessed a family just bagging their shopping without even scanning it. Not sure whether they were stopped before leaving. /:

Just realised the man was outside your front door and not at the end of your drive. Apologies OP, the guy is an arse

@Perso25 How is that CF? If they don't have the money to pay you then they don't have it?! 🤷🏼‍♀️

AIBU to be irritated when I type out a post, post it, and it's disappeared?

Powerless - is that the one where they agreed to buy the shoes and asked Op to deliver them and then rudely tried them on and refused to pay? They're rude CFs.
