I’m not even sorry for the blatant placemarking.

Here’s another for good measure.

I wonder if I could present same sort of bill to DH....no dong, overdue dong, you donging me about!
You want Chong? I want Dong! Simple transaction, there ya go, donghead.

Who put the chong in the chong-a-long-a-dingdong? Grin

Did she reply to the text op x

Graphista · 14/10/2019 22:11

Just stunned she thought it in any way reasonable to only pay SOME of what she owes!

Good on you for not taking this lying down and determining to sort this tomorrow

All fur coat and no knickers sounds about right - a phenomenon I've come across a few times in my life but don't understand the appeal as I couldn't live with such dodgy financial arrangements the people that are like this are so dependent on others for their needs, but in such an insecure disorganised way.

Learn how to place mark without writing inane placemarking comments, people. Its polite.

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 14/10/2019 22:26

B clearly thinks you are making a profit off her by having her £5.20 in advance of paying off your CC-does she know that
a) there is fuckall interest applied for being being in credit
b) you pay a fuckton interest on all your debit?
Twat.

Ugh, it's so frustrating to see those posts. You can easily follow a thread and it will be in your watching list, it's that bloody simple!

acatcalledjohn · 14/10/2019 22:30

Reminder - new lunch club rules, all money to be paid up front before 11am Friday. No dong, no Chong.

Grin

A bit of 70s Eurovision, anyone?

Chong a dong every^ Friday^, when it gets to lunch time
Order when the money has come, come, come
Chong a dong, pay it upfront, 'specially cheeky cunts
Order when the money has come, come, come
Say Chong a dong!

mummabubs · 14/10/2019 22:31

I agree re placemarking, it's pointless and just fills up the thread- this one is a third full already!!

OP I'm not adding anything new, you know she's being utterly cheeky and unreasonable in her behaviour. I do understand what you mean about maintaining a civil work relationship and office atmosphere. You can still maintain this moving forward and be well within your rights to say if she doesn't pay upfront you won't order for her.

Littlemissamy · 14/10/2019 22:36

Yay a new thread!

ThanosSavedMe · 14/10/2019 22:36

Glad to hear that the others are on your side. Think you’re doing the right thing by not excluding her as kind as she pays upfront. That way she can’t accuse you and the others of bullying. Good luck tomorrow.

*You mean I've just told my cat to go eat a dick????

Seriously???😳*

I’ve said worse to my cats and to be quite frank they both deserve it.

myolivetree · 14/10/2019 22:43

Seriously what's with the stop filling up the thread and the stop place marking like that...blah blah blah?

Butterymuffin · 14/10/2019 23:02

We'll be on thread 3 by Friday, hey ho. Chong a dong all Grin

Wallyandasnog · 14/10/2019 23:36

I'm confused. Is op now chogadong? The posts have stopped going green.
Reading tft anyway and sniggering away, trying not to wake mr wally.Grin

CallMeRachel · 14/10/2019 23:39

I didn't think that was the Op who name changed...@Amelia2000 can you clarify??

We're all invested in this drama far too much Grin

sweetiepy · 14/10/2019 23:52

Op if she tries to insinuate that you are making money out of getting paid weekly, but not paying your card off to the end of the month, just turn it back on her!
Point out that she is the one trying to profit by keeping her money in the bank till the end of the month, despite having already spent it on lunches.

BanKittenHeels · 15/10/2019 00:13

“Shit your ears off” made me laugh so hard I actually thought I might shit myself.

How’s that for a placemark?

I’m a little late to the party but I need to get this off my chest. How are you spending ‘their’ money and not putting it towards the credit card? A. They received their goods B. Whether you use that precise money they gave you or the money in your other account, it’s still your bloody money!!! Infuriating.
