To think you don’t dictate this?

[Cherrypurple]

A friend has left some items of clothing at my house for nearing 2 months now. They have only been interested in collecting them within the past week. They have been dictating when they will be collecting their clothes instead of asking me when I’m available. I’m very sick with HG in early pregnancy, do not have the energy to get to the door and my OH is at work. AIBU to think if you leave your items in someone else’s property then it is up to them when you can get your items? Within a reasonable time frame of course. She’s called me 5 times in a row and is pressuring for her to come at 6pm last minute. It’s really annoying and I feel like saying piss off! It’s literally a few T-shirt’s and some leggings, nothing special.

Just put the bag out on the doorstep. Job done.

If you chuck up on it, so be it.

Wait for her to knock sling them out the window?

I would text her:
I am ill and unable to get out of bed.
You can collect when dh is home.
He will be home at X o'clock. Phone after that time, he will answer, or come to the door at XX time.

I cannot get out of bed. After 2 months, I am sure you can manage to wait a couple of hours.

Text her back and tell her that she is overreacting and acting like a bitch and if she continues to push you will charge her storage. She can wait until your DH gets home, unless she wants to chance you puking on her or her clothes - and even then you aren't moving for her!

Why do people keep advising OP to leave them outside her front door when her OP says she can’t get to her front door. Gathering up the ungrateful twat’s clothes is probably the last thing she wants to do.

Best to wait for your DH, as you say OP.

text: too late I have already contacted police because of your threats & by the way, I will be charging you for storage!

The police have better shit to do.

I know you’re ill but surely you are managing to get to the toilet so you can open the front door? Sounds like you’re being unnecessarily difficult and she’s being melodramatic too.!

The world is full of batshit crazy people. Text her that her things will be put on the front step at whatever time suits you and she can collect them then. Then cut all contact - friends don't threaten each other with the police!

@steppemum’s text is perfect - I would send it, @Cherrypurple, and then forget this so-called friend.

I hope the HG settles and you feel better soon.

Be sick in the bag.

Police my arse.

Yeah just leave outside in a bag and message outside house come and get when you want . Hopefully it will rain

Why do people keep advising OP to leave them outside her front door when her OP says she can’t get* to her front door. Gathering up the ungrateful twat’s clothes is probably the last thing she wants to do.

Dh can put outside then.

What options did you give her for collecting the items?

Dear Weirdo Fucker, DP will be home after 6pm, you can collect your shitty leggings then. I'm sure you're in desperate need of them after the 56 days you've left them to rot here. Take them and never darken my door again.

p.s. police report lol, best laugh I've had since I've been ill. See you in hell.

Call the police? Yeah, I’d like to see that played out! I’m sure they’ll be on your doorstep right smartly when they find out it’s a few T-shirts and some leggings . Bag on the doorstep.

When you say she's only been interested in collecting them this last week and she's been dictating when she'll be collecting them, how many times has she tried to make a day/time?

I know you have HG and that's awful but surely you only have to open the door and hand them to her?

Any mention of the Police is bonkers.

Drama llamas, the pair of you. Just bloody give her the stuff back if you’re at home.

Just open the door and give them to her. She’s being an absolute tit but you are as well to insist you can’t open the door to hand them to her.

How many different times has she suggested? Have you offered after x time?

@ElizaPancakes - hyperemesis gravidarum is not just bad morning sickness - it is much, much worse. If the OP says she genuinely cannot get out of bed to get to the door, I believe her, and you calling her a bit of a tit is pretty heartless and unkind.

Sorry, A friend you say?

I know what it is @SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius.

Then you ought to appreciate that the OP is not exaggerating when she says she cannot get to the door, @ElizaPancakes. And not call her a tit.

How do you know she's not exaggerating? I'm not saying she isn't, I'm just interested in how you know?

If the OP can't get to her front door, then presumably she can't go to the toilet either?

And what would happen if the house caught fire? If she's seriously lacking in that much energy, she shouldn't be left alone.

She's being unreasonable but you haven't got energy to make it to your front door? Yet you have to give a running commentary of this drama on mumsnet?
