Person A is wrapping presents in the lounge with the scissors from the kitchen, B sees them doing them doing this. A doesn’t put the scissors back as hadn’t finished with them yet. Later B goes into the kitchen to get the scissors to cut open packaging on something and couldn’t find them, meaning opened the drawer they were in and they weren’t there so didn’t bother looking anymore, grabs a knife instead. Ends up cutting into palm of hand, deep cut, blood everywhere. A helps clean the cut and gets a plaster, says scissors were in the lounge as used when wrapping presents. B and person C pissed with A as should’ve put them back, fair enough, says sorry. In the night Bs cut is still bleeding heavily, C takes B to hospital, ends up needing stitches, as work is hands on B now has to take a time off work, paid but with deductions meaning B is loosing money. C decides seeing as it was As fault the scissors weren’t where they were suppose to be A now needs to make up the money B is loosing. A says don’t be ridiculous, wasn’t their fault B decided to stupidly use a knife, B could’ve easily asked where the scissors were or just waited as it wasn’t something that urgently needed opening.

B and C now refusing to speak to A until she pays which she says she has no intention of doing.

B is an idiot and C is a shit stirrer

Agreed. You need a D in the household to supervise B using sharp objects sensibly. You know, like a childminder would for a child.

Returnofthesmileybar · 03/12/2018 18:36

C is in a relationship with B anyway (not that that's relevant) either than or just a complete shit stirrer. Anyway B is thick, C is a trouble maker and A is not in the wrong at all as the scissors was still in use

WitchesHatRim · 03/12/2018 18:37

I think you should tell them all to grow up and leave you out of it.

dinosaurglitterrepublic · 03/12/2018 18:44

B and C are both morons.

Oliversmumsarmy · 03/12/2018 18:45

Surely C should not shit stir otherwise it could rebound on them when A moves out and they have to split the rent 2 ways instead of 3

Or they replace A with someone who won't take C's shit.

B knew where the scissors were it was their own fault for

  1. Not going to get the scissors and 2)Not being careful enough when using sharp objects.

Who is to say B wouldn't have cut something else accidentally because they are incapable of using sharp objects

ThatssomebadhatHarry · 03/12/2018 18:53

This is just the type of snowflake crap that means your flat mate (a) is about to read about how much of a loon they are in the daily mail, and how much of a twat everyone thinks they are! I despair!

ThatssomebadhatHarry · 03/12/2018 18:54

Shit I meant b is the loon.

MRex · 03/12/2018 18:57

YABU if you continue to live with C, who's a tosser. B is a fool. Why can't you all just buy your own scissors, they cost about £1!

WaterBird · 03/12/2018 19:03

On second thoughts, A is very slightly BU, but only slightly.
None should be bitching to the OP. They should sort themselves out and leave OP out of it.

BlankTimes · 03/12/2018 19:17

A, B and C need to buy more pairs of scissors - one pair between three people really isn't enough.

Jack65 · 03/12/2018 19:26

Do you and your friends not have enough in your life that you argue about this? It's inane.

Baking101 · 03/12/2018 19:30

Was b never taught how to use a knife? Put them back in nursery for some extra tips. Remind them not to run with sharp objects either.

B and c are wrong. A was using the scissors, and b could have been a big boy and asked to borrow them for the 5 seconds it took to stab himself.

Notaborc · 03/12/2018 19:48

Is C trying to get into B's pants? Or just a shit stirrer?
Bit of both Grin

You need a D in the household
We have a D... and an E Grin

A, B and C need to buy more pairs of scissors - one pair between three people really isn't enough.
We actually had 3 at one point but they somehow got lost B took them and never put them back and they haven’t been seen since. I also have a pair of scissors i would’ve been happy to lend out if asked, you know, to save someone chopping the hand off trying to open a pack.

Do you and your friends not have enough in your life that you argue about this? It's inane.
I guess not. Confused

None should be bitching to the OP. They should sort themselves out and leave OP out of it.
Thank you, please let them know. I was just like umm okay why is this such a drama and why am I suddenly way to involved Grin

YABU if you continue to live with C
Unfortunately my mum is the landlord and this is only a place for me to stay when I’m in the UK, I spend most the year in the US, so I just deal with her when I’m here and hope when I come back she’s left not too bad.

Just don't show them this thread! Then things will really kick off.

nikkylou · 03/12/2018 20:03

Who's fault would it have been if B had cut themselves with the scissors?

Or if the scissors were A's personal pair?

Why is C even getting involved? Unless they were in charge of extra scissor purchasing over Christmas. In which case, clearly it's C at fault.

Notaborc · 03/12/2018 20:18

Why is C even getting involved?

She took B to A&E so that somehow makes her apart of it haha!

EnglishRose13 · 03/12/2018 20:23

Buy them all scissors for Christmas.

Louiselouie0890 · 03/12/2018 20:36

I find it bonkers they think A should have put them back when they weren't done with them. B is an idiot C needs to get a grip. A should pay nothing

stopinthenameoflove · 03/12/2018 20:41

Very odd
B and C very unreasonable
A should tell them both to F off pair of tits Angry

Tiredmum100 · 03/12/2018 20:59

Firstly maybe buy some more scissors. Secondly B is a grown adult and made the silly choice to use the knife. B is Bu.
