As yet, still waiting for B to pay the remaining £11.

Urgh so many typos.

She’s not a thief (assuming she returns what she spent), but she is accessing your money without your permission and refusing to pay it back when requested.

I knew they were expensive, but didn't realise that they were that expensive! And I also guessed that a special horse trained to delicately prance on eggs without even cracking the shells would probably need extra-special training and shoes and stuff - but my word! That's a lot of money!

*paying , not playing

What have I done to you, Autocorrect that you treat me like this?

@Puzzledandpissedoff I second nominating @SchadenfreudePersonified's post.

Someone should start a gofundme for poor Chong and Dong.

Can't believe she has withheld some of the payment! I'm mortified for her, how is she not!

What a cheeky cow! No pay, no food! Everyone seems to get that. If she says she’ll pay at the end of the month I’d use the old mumsnet Classic “ No. That doesn’t work for me!”

Don't say you can't afford to wait for the £11. You don't have to justify wanting it back.

...and pay it out at a rate of £11 a month. In arrears. With no interest. And much flouncing.

Hopefully she pays the remainder soon

Cf thread! Pass me the popcorn!

Settling in for Friday lunchtime !

It's not bullying if you have a reason for not including here i.e. she has a long record of not paying for her lunch!!

I'd give her one opportunity to bring her debt up to date and pay in advance for next lunch. When she fails to do this (she will fail) then exclude her going forward. It's not like you're ignoring her at work - you're just not letting her run up a tab!!!

Off topic but my horse costs around £250 a month

If she refuses to pay on Friday upfront, I'd just say 'you've made it such a mind-numbingly tedious PITA to have to constantly chase you up for money, that it's not in my interest to wait until the following month. Either you pay now, or lunch is off - and you ruin it for everyone'.

Yes Tyseral - but does yours wear a tutu?

Just be careful op- she might have spoken to HR herself (or will) and made a complaint. Sounds bonkers but I’ve seen it happen. Keep a record of texts, conversations etc if she accuses you all of ‘bullying’

I don't understand why, if she doesn't pay, no one can have lunch?

Surely the obvious answer is if you want lunch, you pay in advance, if you don't pay, you don't get lunch? No need to penalise the rest of the team.

Of course in B's case, it's pay the remaining 11 quid and up front for this week and you can join, otherwise no lunch for you until all is paid.

But your other colleagues still get lunch regardless of what B is doing...

" if she doesn't pay, no one can have lunch? "

Because it could cause ill feeling/be construed as bullying?

Have been lurking and agog at the CFuckery of B.
The running away crying to the loo’s was particularly cringeworthy!
The only contribution I have for the thread at the moment is to say I think “Chong a dong” is slang for “eat a dick”.

I know some PP think your text is not direct enough but I like it. It is friendly but says what it needs to. Doesn't give B chance to try to take it out of context.

Absolutely not place marking.

I think text is good. Incase she accuses of bullying to hr
