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....

What? Someone who behaves like this must be a nightmare to be around. Honestly I don’t understand why anyone needs like friends like these. Why, jut why?

I'd tell her to use Uber to get to any day trips in future, as you won't be giving her/her DD any more lifts.

Jesus Christ, what a cheek!
I wouldn't be bothering her again cheeky cow.

No you don't owe her any money. She owes you a thank you and am apology.

She doesn't sound like much of a friend 😔

£25 for 1.5 hours for one adult & two kids??

No wonder she'd like a sub!!

Saying thank you isn't passionate - it's politeness and she's in the wrong if she doesn't acknowledge your help.

You don't owe her anything

Is she mad?

Drivingmeupthewall · 28/07/2021 11:23

If she never speaks to you again, it hardly sounds like much of a loss.

What an ungrateful twat. If she does raise it tell her she owes you £5 for petrol/mileage so you're quits.

NeonDreams · 28/07/2021 11:25

No, you don't owe her any money at all! What a CFer she is! And if she presses the point, just say consider the non payment in lieu of all the times I've taken your DC in my car/ferried you all about.

Non-drivers really piss me off, many of them seem to have absolutely no understanding at all about what is involved in driving and getting from A to B, highway turn offs, road closures, etc.

She is rude and cheeky, and very ungrateful. Stand your ground, you don't owe her a red penny!

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

Except when she wants you to buy her daughter something. Then she seems to find the passion and the words 🤔

Goodness, blatant CFery!
