To ask for your CF of the day here?

[Supplyacfhere]

My CF was before even 9 am this morning! A dm at local school approached me waving a school letter. Could see it was recent after school club registration form. She had hand written a few lines at the bottom in red..
Apparently in September- when school started- they informed us they wanted ideas for after school clubs, to commence after October half term. All good.
This dm had written to the school requesting no club on x day for her dc's class as her dc would have to miss it due to an out of school activity..
And guess what?
School have offered her dc after school option on x day!
She was going back in with the form and her reminder on the bottom in red they weren't supposed to do this!!
Entitled CF or what?.
I thought she was being sarcastic at first. But deadly serious. Big flounce off into the office no less!

Next door neighbours who could provide a witness statement about the theft of our camper van...they could confirm it was there at 6pm and gone at appx 10pm.....but they wont get involved so now facing lots of hassle from a fraud organisation linked to the insurance company...And a few years ago, we replaced sections of their fence and didnt ask for a contribution..!!

I have encountered a CF who thinks children are unimportant too. Took my DD5 to Sainsbury's to choose a toy as her grandad had given her money to visit the toy sale. Walked up to the till with her (nobody was queuing) and some woman tried to push straight past saying she "wasn't waiting all day for a child to mess about playing shops". I was ready to tell her what I thought of her when DD calmly told her "No I'm first and you need to wait your turn". She walked off tutting and I congratulated DD.

I can't think of one example of a CF I've come into contact with....does that mean I'm the CF?!?!

The woman on the tube yesterday who leaned over and dumped her bag on the empty seat I was about to take so that I couldn't sit on it. I wish I'd thought quickly enough to pick her bag up and put it on the floor.

This happened to me on a bus. Tried to lighten the mood a bit and smile at the woman while gesturing that there were no other empty seats. She got really grumpy and made a big deal about putting her small bag on her lap then humphed the whole journey.

She was a nun.

Not recently but when DD (8) was in junior school she arranged with a friend to meet in the park in half term one morning for one of those bouncy castle type events. I hung about in the park as they were a bit young to be left on their own and when her dad dropped her off told him to come back before lunch to collect her as we had plans for the afternoon.

She turned up without any money ( despite DD telling her how much it would be) so I lent her the money.
Dad didn't turn up to collect her and when we finally managed to contact him he had gone to work! not local- a 30 min train ride away- and told me to leave her in the park and he would pick her up after work at 5.

This was at midday and I really didn't feel comfortable leaving an 8 year old in a park for 5 hours so I had to take her with us, paid for her to take part in the activity we had planned and lunch/ snacks etc. I told the dad he needed to pick her up by 5 at the very latest as the DDs had friends coming round for tea. He inevitably didn't turn up and wasn't answering his phone.
I didn't have enough food for an extra person so I ended up giving her my dinner and I had a sandwich.

It was 8:30pm when he finally turned up- just arrived at the door, shouted at her to get her shoes and left- No thanks, no apology or offer to pay for anything or to return the favour.

Not short of money - lived in a big house- dad drove a merc etc Clearly a CF who was using me as free child care.

My ex NDN was the biggest CF I've ever met. He would do all sorts of CF'ery, one time he let his builders use our front lawn to do their carpentry when he was having wood floors laid, used to park on our drive when we weren't home etc...these are the kind of events that I dealt with with him.

Despite him being the CF, he complained about anything we did. He complained that our driveway had a dip in it, he complained that our log burner was making his house hot. But mostly about my dog barking. Dog isn't THAT bad, no more of a barker than normal!
So my SIL now lives in my old flat and I went to visit her yesterday and she told me that CF neighbour now has a puppy! And it barks! I would relish in her complaining to NDN about their barking dog!

@BrigitsBigKnickers is the child's mum in the picture? If so did you ever let her know what happened?

Personally I would have driven the child to dad's work and dumped her there and given him a very public bollocking in front of his workmates and bosses.

@BrigitsBigKnickers id have told the twat I was going to call social services if he didn’t turn up in ten minutes and I’d have done so.

If that’s how he treats his child by abandoning her someone needs to ensure she is safe.

frazzledasarock I kid you not- I found out after that he works for social services...

I was actually at the point of calling the police as he turned up as just didn't know what to do. He wasn't answering his phone and we couldn't get hold of the little girl's older sisters who seemed to look after her a lot too as mum wasn't on the scene. I called a few of DD's friends mums to see if they had any other contact details but they only had the mobile number her dad had given me.

Seems unbelievable but the story is absolutely true.

@BrigitsBigKnickers

I imagine the worst bit is the fact the girl is lovely. I bet she's quiet, polite and no trouble. Because being dumped on people is her life.

@BrigitsBigKnickers that’s so shocking and he wanted you to leave his eight year old on her own all day! Wtf!

I was on the beautiful little beach at Robin Hood's Bay with DH, toddler and our 2 dogs (relevant). Lots of other families paddling about happily. We were just leaving and witnessed the most almighty act of CF-ery...

Land Rover reverses down to the edge of the narrow road where it meets the beach just in front of us.

Massive lurcher-type dog leaps out of the back, squats, produces an enormous steaming dump before jumping back into the back of the vehicle. Bloke didn't even get out of his car. Dog jumps back in again before the Land Rover screeches back up the hill.

I was . Clearly this was a regular occurrence. What sort of CF uses a beauty spot as his animal's personal toilet?????

The mum of one of DS2's friends messaged me this morning to say that her DS would love to come trampolining with my DS tomorrow and thank you for inviting him. I was a bit confused and wondered if I'd actually made plans for a playdate and then forgotten about it or maybe DS has been inviting friends to stuff without checking with me first so I asked him and he said he hadn't. Messaged her back to say I didn't think we'd actually made plans and did she have her words crossed. She replied along the lines of "oh dear, I think I might have and now DS is going to be so disappointed as he was really excited about it". Being the soft touch that I am I said that DS would really like spending time with his friend so actually yes, I will take them both trampolining tomorrow. "You're a star, Venger. I'll drop him at yours for 10 o'clock".

Texted my bestie to ask if she and her DC want to join us. Bestie messaged back "did she get you too? I took her DS to the cinema with us two weeks ago based on the same story".

Words crossed = wires crossed

@Venger - I can't believe the cheek of her! That takes the biscuit. Trouble is, she can only do that once to everyone so she'll soon exhaust all her options which will serve her right actually.

So many stories I could write here but outing so I need to keep them to myself.

Oh go on hotdog, need cheering up on a rainy Saturday afternoon

Ndn asked me every week to clean out her canary as she hated it and was terrified!!.
She bought it because it matched her yellow kitchen.
