You guys need to stop filling the thread when nothing is happening!!

In the meantime I had the most amazing nights sleep last night. Absolutely full of food and had an amazing day and frankly this morning I couldn't care if he's there for 6 months Grin

MontysMinions · 02/08/2021 17:50

Yes, I would totally take a lot longer to get the keys if he wasn't suitably apologetic and embarrassed!

Will your DB be there at 7.30 for support 💙

Billybagpuss · 02/08/2021 17:50

@MaMelon

Absolutely gutted I’ll be out at 7.30 so if this goes beyond 1000 posts please someone start a 4th thread.
Please can we leave at least 1 post on this thread so poor op can actually link the new one 😂

@Howshouldibehave

So what did CF say to your brother? Any explanations? Excuses? Reasons?!
This
Howshouldibehave · 02/08/2021 17:51

What’s the betting he’ll turn up and act like you have been totally unreasonable!?

Has he said anything to your brother that sounds like an apology?

hedgehogger1 · 02/08/2021 17:51

So no apology yet then? Maybe you get less punctual when your seething about the lack of apology

BruceAndNosh · 02/08/2021 17:51

I'm pretty sure this thread will fill up at exactly 7.25.....

BigasdaB · 02/08/2021 17:51

Love your brother! Well done him, not giving into him.

searchingforanything · 02/08/2021 17:52

I can see you posted 31 minutes ago to say he was at your house...that would have made it 5.19pm..... He's not very good at time keeping is he.
PS...although I do feel sorry for you, this has been a great thread!

LemonBarley1234 · 02/08/2021 17:52

😂 I am loving this. Literally refreshing constantly in the hope of new updates

ifIwerenotanandroid · 02/08/2021 17:52

From the 'I just got home after 5 days away & there's a caravan on my driveway' thread...

'Herecomesthesun70 Mon 02-Aug-21 17:32:44
It can't be moved because the ranger it needs to pull it is locked behind gates with a truck behind it'

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 02/08/2021 17:53

Am betting he brings CelebX as his wingman hoping that his presence makes you all fluttering and gooey eyed so you drop your best MN head- on- one- side- eyebrow -raised -professional- persona

Even funnier when you deliberately don't recognise him, then! Get your DB to answer again and shout up to you "Car trespass man is back again, with his boyfriend!" CF won't know where to look or what to say Grin

melj1213 · 02/08/2021 17:53

@BlueEyesWhiteDragon

DB text.

"Enemy vanquished. Hes calling for the return of his lift. Have said you'll.be back at 7.30ish but he might be best checking with you before he comes because you are quite lax with your times. I inserted an eyeroll at this point. And often your times can be several hours off. You get it off our Dad. Me I'm very punctual. Saves alot of hassle"

Your DB is a legend 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just out of spite I would go out for a drink at 7pm tonight and roll home when I was ready, maybe 7.30pm, maybe 10pm, maybe 1am ... Time is relative after all Grin

Holidayhumbug · 02/08/2021 17:53

This thread is awesome! 🙌

DeflatedGinDrinker · 02/08/2021 17:54

Cannot believe the absolute fucker came at 5 even though you said you were out!! What an entitled twat.

Emilyontmoor · 02/08/2021 17:54

OP the only way to get past male entitlement is to make them feel like a little boy. So I would be rehearsing my best Headmistress impression.

So you said you were going to be how long?

And how long were you?

Why do you think I locked the gate?

No I have better things to do. The gate is locked because it is required by both my insurance and the forestry commission.

Do you realise what problems you could have caused for the Emergency Services and Forest Rangers?

No?

Then I will explain

I am very disappointed you did not have more thought for others

I will open the gate when you apologise and promise never to do it again.

And if I ever see you in my office, I mean drive again, you will not get off so lightly

Dasher789 · 02/08/2021 17:54

This is brilliant, fantastic from DB. If there was an applause emoji I would be inserting!!!

idontunderstandbananas · 02/08/2021 17:55

Grin Text him back at 7:30 'Sorry! Just going to be 5 mins there's nowhere to park'

What an utter twat!! He doesn't even apologise or ask what time is good for you and then turns up at the time you told him you wouldn't be there.

Bigassbeebuzzbuzz · 02/08/2021 17:55

Omg he ie the CF of the highest order!
Love your DB's antics though Grin

PinkTonic · 02/08/2021 17:55

🦈

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 02/08/2021 17:56

Wouldn't it be such a terrible annoyance if you go to your truck at 7:30 and find that it won't start at all - because somebody has accidentally disconnected the battery or something?!

spongebunnyfatpants · 02/08/2021 17:56

Please make sure you present him with a bill for parking on your land. £25 a day should cover it.

Rememberallball · 02/08/2021 17:58

@BlueEyesWhiteDragon

We have contact. I repeat we have contact!

CF - Hi its X. You have my Ranger locked in your drive. I will call about 5pm to collect it.

Me - That's inconvenient. I'm out then. Would need to be 7.30pm

CF - Can't do. Am at X. No way you can do 5?

Me - No

Have read all 3 threads now (don’t worry, am not going to suggest you leave the gates open for him, I really HAVE read all of them 😜) and I love that, even after being told his chosen time isn’t convenient, he’s still being a CF
Fortheloveofgodwhy · 02/08/2021 17:59

But you will be out at 19:30… you must be you MUST BE

idontunderstandbananas · 02/08/2021 17:59

I bet he's hoping you'll just leave the gate open for him to collect without having to make contact with you. WRONG! Don't unlock anything or move your truck until he turns up at 7:30 and knocks.

TheSunShinesBrighter · 02/08/2021 17:59

@DepressedDD

If he sits outside for two hours won’t he notice you haven’t actually come home?
OP could be round the back working for all he knows! All she has to do is 'return' to the house!
