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?

lovedoughnuts I used to work with someone who did that, thankfully I only had to cover for them once, but they pulled the same trick whoever covered them. The only time they didn't was when someone had screwed up, though they enjoyed playing the martyr. When redundancies came up it became apparent that they didn't like the fact they weren't irreplaceable. It was completely their own issue.

CF colleague was supposed to collate some documents from her team to upload to the shared drive for a meeting today.
At 9 am she emails me "oh I can't come so I haven't uploaded them". Convenient tradesperson coming to the house.
Other member of the team, AT the meeting, where we need the documents, is a bit confused why she never asked for his documents.

I had one yesterday - I was put on hormonal pills and they didn't do what they were supposed to do and had the side effect of making me unusually flirtatious. Doctor hastily took me off them.

I needed to explain to someone yesterday that the pills had affected me so presented it in as neutral a way as I could and he paused and said "Oh. Can they put you back on them?"

I just rolled my eyes

Toasties, huge hug from me. Really sad. Tell your ndn to leave the same way she came in next time.

I was waiting in my car behind a young school girl on her bike turning right (wasn't safe to pass her on the left, too narrow); car behind me took over me and nearly knocked her off, the driver's behind that idiot followed him!

I'm a bridesmaid for a friend of mines wedding next November. I met up with her for brunch today and to have a catch up as I haven't seen her in a few weeks. During lunch she casually mentioned

• being upset I didn't throw her an engagement shower (I had no idea this was a thing or that it was my responsibility!)
• that she would be borrowing my husbands car on the day of the wedding (she would get someone insured on it apparently) as she doesn't want to spend money on a nice car and we drive a decent one (not to boast it's a company car!)
• I'm trying for a baby atm and she knows so has asked if I am pregnant then that we don't mention it during the wedding. Or if we have had a baby she would like us to leave it at home? I have no clue why this is even an issue more than a year before the wedding.

I'm slowly losing the will to live!!!! Oh and I have heard from another bridesmaid (although not confirmed) that she has told people they can stay at my house for the hen party and we will use it as 'base' 😳

I’ve told this story before on this site but still amazed it actually happened.

We bought the house we currently live in at the beginning of this year. Before we moved in it had been used as a holiday let for years. The town we live in is very much a holiday resort so this isn’t unusual at all.

A couple of weeks after we moved in a couple came and knocked on the door asking if the house was ready for them. They’d booked to stay in our house and had stayed here the same week in the year for the last six years. They’d also driven all the way from Scotland to where I am in far South West England. The holiday company had made a mistake and hadn’t cancelled their booking.

I asked them in for a cup of tea so they could phone the holiday let company a sort it out. The lady on the phone was obviously hugely apologetic but managed to find a much nicer house, only a couple of roads along with a private pool and offered them some vouchers. The husband asked me if I thought they should accept it, assuming he was asking me as I know the area. I said it sounded good, they agreed and hung up.

They carried on drinking their tea and then asked me how long I thought it would take me to pack. I gave them a face and they said they wanted to unpack so could I hurry up and get going. They wanted me to move out of my own house so they could stay in it! They got really stroppy with me when I laughed and refused. I saw them several times during the week they were staying (small town) and they gave me such filthy looks every time I saw them

Currently vacating our rental to move into our first owned property and the letting agent is a right idiot. Today, he emailed to ask if the landlord could go roun to measure up for a new boiler (that would be the one we have been asking for, for 2 years 🤬) Then when we said no, due to me being off sick, plus other previous rude behaviour, he said he was coming anyway using his key as it’s his legal right. Forgetting the fact that we have a legal right to ‘quiet enjoyment of the property’ All he wants is to be able to get new tenants in quicker whilst still enjoying 2 weeks of our rent money.

Warthog I remember you telling that first time!!

Oh I just thought of one that happened this summer. We were on the Eurotunnel train on the way back from France. Our car was parked bang in the middle and the toilets are at either end of the train so a long walk. I wasn't even going to the toilet but had to get rid of the water in the dogs bowl and I was bored so thought I take a walk to the toilets. When I was about to go through the second to last set of doors, I feel a hand behind me holding the door open for me, I said thanks and go through. Behind me was a man and his child around 9-10 YO and as I get through the doors the man drags his child and sprint in front of me, it was soooo obvious that the child looked back at me with an embarrassing look! The dad then proceeded to sprint through the carriages to get to the toilet first. I just shook my head and couldn't believe it. It was obviously the dad who was bursting not the child but still it was just such immature behaviour

@Yokohamajojo

How is that cheeky? You were just walking along; he really needed the toilet so he quickly goes past you. Did he shove you out the way? Swear or shout at you? Or anything rude at all? Or did he just run past you as he needed the toilet. That's not rude. That's just someone needing the toilet.

@warthog I remember that story from another CF thread... a woman in a swimming pool had asked OP (who was swimming) to teach her kid to swim and then complained to the manager that the OP hadn't. I can't find it now.

@myusernameisnotmyusername Hello fellow Credit Controller!
I think we have our fair share of CF's on a daily basis!

Fiffyshadesofgreymatter I guess you had to be there but if you think that sort of behaviour is ok fine! Say you are approaching a toilet and someone is in front of you clearly going to that toilet as there is nowhere else to go, you would start sprinting in front of them to get there first? Weird and CF if you ask me

I’ve posted this before. Ex colleague asked me to look after her puppy Monday-Friday 7am-6pm for a cheaper rate than doggy daycare. We weren’t friends, she asked because she knew I’d worked with dogs because and had first aid certificates etc. After a week or so of looking after the puppy and no payment I politely asked and was told “me and DH thought you’d do it for free as you’re not working anyway and you already have a dog”. I was on maternity leave . I still regret not giving her a piece of my mind and it was years ago. Same workplace also had a £20 minimum spend for secret Santa and that was a days wages for me at the time.

Saturday,

Friend comes round, well more of a cleaner than friend. I’ve not seen her since May when I had to ask her to stop cleaning for me, and Saturday she was round to clean.... so anyway. She tells me of her break in the summer, tells me of her break next month, tells me of the activities her new boyfriend has planned for her and her DC in the October holidays, she tells me how broke she is whilst sipping on her Starbucks that she collects on her way. No real problem, happy for her.

She goes on to ask what are we doing for our birthday this year? You know you took us (insert day out) for my birthday treat last year, oh no, we just went didn’t we! (Then looking back quickly I realise no, I did the two hour drive in my car and DH did the 2 hour drive in his car so we could all go, we paid for parking and obviously petrol, plus we bought them food and snacks....)

Well, I’m not sure that we can do anything as I’m hoping to go to Disneyland for a weekend trip to soak in some of the Christmas spirit. Oh great she replies, how much? Ah well, I’ve seen it for about £200 pp. so she says I can’t afford to take my kids, it’s unfair you take DD, turns to my DD and says “sorry Love, it’s our birthday. No kids weekend!! And giggles”

At which point I realised that our friendship is over. It’s all take, and I can’t get over the cheekiness or deciding she’s going to Disneyland- a kids place, I inviting my daughter and having a kid free weekend at Disney. It’s made my brain itch a bit. I feel like I saw through her!

I think some people don’t know the actual literal meaning of a cheeky fucker. It’s not someone who is just weird or rude to you...someone posted about a colleague saying ‘that’s a big lunch’ that’s not cheeky fuckery is it. Neither is running in front to go to the toilet.

It’s when someone is trying to take advantage of you, get something for free, exploiting a situation etc.

Will we be seeing a massive thread about your wall anytime soon?

@Yokohamajojo

Ah, the way you said second to last door made me think there was still some way for you to walk and you hadn't actually arrived at the toilets. Rather than being outside the toilets about to walk through.

I got home the other night to find dog poo in the front garden leading up to the door. It wasn't there in the morning.
So a few years ago, DH installed cameras on at the front and back of the house (wasn't sure why at the time, but love it now) so we looked back at the footage, and will now show the CF who let his dog poo in the middle of our garden. Will watch and wait for him and hand him his dog poo back!

We own a flat in London that we rent out (it's our pension plan!) and we're informed by the property managers that the 1.2k rent hadn't been paid this month.

When we called the named tenant his response was 'someone in my business has stolen £70,000 of my money so I can't pay this month'. When asked for a crime reference number, he got shirty and evasive.

We asked if he wanted to defer payment for a couple of weeks to sort himself out? 'No', he said, 'I just won't pay it'.

Now it turns out that the other tenants have paid their share - to him. He's just kept it to help pay his debts! We were at his cheekyfuckery...

goodlordwhathappened Maybe it might be better to declaine being a bridesmaid? That is some cheek to offer your house without even mentioning it, let alone asking you.

Faff the actual literal meaning would be someone being cheeky and fucking at the precise moment in time of posting!
I think your examples of non cheeky fuckery do count, it's just someone being cheeky.

Sounds like he was just bursting for the loo?!

Ndn just admitted some cfery!! He decided the beautiful overhanging tree /climber was damaging the wall (the one he intends to knock down)between our back gardens, so he chopped at it with an axe. It is now dead and I spent most of the week end unthreading it from my trellis (not attached to his wall), ddogs have new munching bits of it despite my best sweeping efforts. So I asked him if it was OK if I snapped the lot off and bagged it up now (his mess but know its best to check) he declared I better had as it was my tree!! So he killed it before discussing it and admitted he can't find the deeds to check who's wall it is anyway!!

My friend has just assumed that I’m her bridesmaid! I discovered this when she messaged me out of the blue asking for my dress size! I asked what she needed it for and got “Your bridesmaid dress, obvs!!”
