To think I don't owe her money?

Me and 3 friends went swimming yesterday. 1 of them doesn't drive so she went with other friend who does, and her DD came with me as no room in the other car for both her DD's

Her DD1 was with me. She's 10. We had a lovely chat on the way there. However, we arrived 20 minutes late because there was a road closure and we had to take a different route

The swim session was £25 for my friend. I booked it all and everyone paid me. The session was 1.5 hours

When we got out of the pool and headed out towards reception, her DD1 saw a swim suit she liked on a rail. They have a lot of swim stuff for sale there

Her mum quite loudly announced 'Oh you should get DFriend to buy it for you, since you were so late and missed a lot of session!'

I laughed it off but she said to me could I put £5 towards it as she really wants it? I said no, as didn't have purse with me

AIBU to think I don't owe her any money? We haven't spoken again since and she hasn't put anything in group chat....

Wtf- no you don’t owe her anything, what a ridiculous person, certainly no friend

RozHuntleysStump · 28/07/2021 09:25

Why was she on time and you weren't considering she had one of her DDs and you had the other?

PegasusReturns · 28/07/2021 09:26

Of course you don’t owe her money.

But why were you late and friend not? Presumably you set off from same place?

Berthatydfil · 28/07/2021 09:26

And your response is - that’s £5 for the petrol so let’s call it quits
And never give her or her dd a lift ever again

moneyismore · 28/07/2021 09:26

Roz I don't know. I didn't actually ask which way they came in the end. But the way I always go with DS (we are often there as he's disabled and loves it, his favourite thing), was closed off so I had to turn around and go another way

YANBU - she's being a CF and I'd leave her to it. Don't engage or apologise. She's being ridiculous.

stellaisabella · 28/07/2021 09:26

Absolutely not she's a massive CF.

Hellodarknessmyoldpal · 28/07/2021 09:26

Eh what? No of course you don't owe her anything. You did her a favour. Being late isn't really relevant.

scrambledcustard · 28/07/2021 09:27

You dont owe her any more. Maybe you could ask her for the fuel money for taking her dd?

I did apologise when we arrived late

Her DD didn't seem fussed though so not so sure why she is so annoyed about it

Did you say "no, because I don't have my purse" or "no" (because I don't owe you anything)? The former implies you were happy to pay although I don't think you should!

RogueRebel · 28/07/2021 09:28

How did everyone else get there on time and you didn't? Did you go a different way?

Did she offer you petrol money for going out off your way to take her DD?

And no I don't think you owe her any money at all and I wouldn't ever consider helping her out again with lifts. She's an adult and fully capable of getting a bus, taxi, walking

Stompythedinosaur · 28/07/2021 09:28

Wow, she is a real cf.

SpindleWhorl · 28/07/2021 09:29

How did you get her DD in the car and end up 20 minutes behind her? I'm intrigued too! Grin

MistyFrequencies · 28/07/2021 09:29

No you don't owe her. Cheeky fucker.

tanstaafl · 28/07/2021 09:29

Ignore.
She’s upset her DD missed some of the session which could not be helped.

I suppose because when we got to a certain point, I took one way and other friend another way. Other friends was using sat nav

I go there all the time so didn't

Sorry just seen your answer!

Jumpingintosummer · 28/07/2021 09:30

Your friend is really rude.

feelingmehtoday · 28/07/2021 09:31

Huge entitled CF. No way do you owe her anything.

DysmalRadius · 28/07/2021 09:33

Did she even venture a thankyou for booking it and driving her daughter?

PizzaPiePizzaPie · 28/07/2021 09:36

Unbelievable. Tell her taxi fare is £10 and she owes you.

Journeynotdestination · 28/07/2021 09:36

What did I just read?! Utter CF’ery at its finest. And so rude! You don’t need friends like this. Ignore & don’t offer this person any lifts or favours again.

Datingandnoideahowto · 28/07/2021 09:38

How lost did you get that you were 20 mins late and your friend wasn’t? I’d be worrying if I was her tbh.

moneyismore · 28/07/2021 09:46

@DysmalRadius

No, but that's just her way

Sometimes she will say a 'thanks' but she isn't an overly passionate person with words
