Monday morning CF

I know lots are off today but there’s nothing like a bit of cheeky fuckery to start the week off so I thought I’d share.

I have a friend (A) who I socialise with very often, they bought a house close to me not long ago and I’d say we see each other more than any others in our group. We have been socialising alone for many months now as life has kept other friends too busy and this friend basically started treating me like shit. Trying to humiliate me, clearly had jo respect for meetc. I tried ending the friendship several times but always forgave.

Fast forward to earlier this week we were due to meet up with some other friends to celebrate friend A’s birthday. Friend A and I were waiting at the bar for other friends who weren’t due to arrive for an hour so they said they were running to the shop for some cigarettes. I was sat for 45 minutes before I accepted friend A wasn’t coming back. I haven’t spoken to them since and accepted the friendship is over. I am not going to be disrespected like that by anyone.

But woke up to a text this morning. Yesterday was their actual birthday, “drop my present round whenever”.
Aibu or are they a CF?

Yes other friends came when they said they would but I was on my own for about an hour. They were shocked friend A had left me alone and apologised that they couldn’t be there sooner.

Did she come back or basically shirked seeing those friends too?

Backtobacknow · 19/09/2022 10:16

I would be telling her exactly how I felt and that the present has been returned and refunded!

Craftybodger · 19/09/2022 10:17

Definitely as CF.

I’d reply with, “I left it at the bar for you!” Or, even better IMO, “It’s just popped out to get some ciggies!”

Hopeandlove · 19/09/2022 10:19

I would actually text
It popped to the shop for cigarettes a week or so ago - last I heard it was looking for new friends. If you see it avoid at all costs it respects no boundaries and doesn’t appreciate boundaries.

Then block

Ladybyrd · 19/09/2022 10:19

In all seriousness, I just wouldn't reply.

Hopeandlove · 19/09/2022 10:20

Sorry meant to write it respect no boundaries and doesn’t reciprocate goodwill.

Nevertouchakoala · 19/09/2022 10:25

Did you find out where they went for 45 mins??

custardbear · 19/09/2022 10:26

So you all met for her birthday but she'd gone for cigarettes and didn't return all night?

Sunnyqueen · 19/09/2022 10:29

Text her so sorry its a couple of days late but I promise it's exactly what you deserve!
Then send her one of these

Neurospicyy · 19/09/2022 10:31

Not sure why someone insinuated I’m not being truthful but it did actually happen.

To answer another poster, no this person didn’t return at all. And of course I was texting them, after about 10 minutes I started asking where they were and eventually got a reply after 45 minutes that they’d left and gone home and they didn’t think I’d mind as other friends were meeting up. I did say that they should have at least waited until I wasn’t alone and friends were definitely there before they left.

Monday morning CF

Take this opportunity to do some self development and reflection. Why let people treat you so badly?

Ladybyrd · 19/09/2022 10:34

Post a couple of mice through her letterbox. A boy and a girl.

mighteeaphroditee · 19/09/2022 10:38

So, sorry if I'm being thick here.

A whole bunch of friends meet up to celebrate someone's (A's) birthday but A is not there ? Except for the initial time with you ?

What did everyone else make of this scenario ? What did they say when they arrived to find A wasn't there ? Concern ? Anger ?

They were surprised but Going out for a drink is our usual form of socialising. I suppose they just got on with their night as did I and made the most of us all seeing each other.

Noteverybodylives · 19/09/2022 10:44

The fact that they texted you at 3am shows that they’re CF!

I bet they were drunk.

I’d have to reply with laughing faces.

frazzledasarock · 19/09/2022 10:46

That’s so odd.

friend A skipped out on her own birthday drinks?

Theillustratedmummy · 19/09/2022 10:48

I think friend A has some mental health difficulties. Not your job to fix though so just cut contact.

Crinkle77 · 19/09/2022 10:52

Where did friend A go?

Crinkle77 · 19/09/2022 10:55

Please ignore. See she went home.

FayeGovan · 19/09/2022 10:57

Just reply

"I'll crack the jokes"

AlwaysFoldingWashing · 19/09/2022 11:01

Neurospicyy · 19/09/2022 09:34

They certainly won’t be getting a reply although I was very tempted to say
“It went to the shop for a pack of cigarettes but it hasn’t come back yet” 😁

Absolutely do this 😂 so sorry this happened

ShandaLear · 19/09/2022 11:04

‘Oh shit! I accidentally left it at the bar we went to at the weekend. You’d best pop down and get it.’

PoseyFlump · 19/09/2022 11:11

Presumably she bought you a birthday gift? @Neurospicyy

Melabela10 · 19/09/2022 11:17

the whole situation is strange, the group turned up to celebrate A's BD and A disappeared before the group even turned up? Is A ok? does she have any mental issues? substance problems? "send the gift " message is odd in these circumstances, i would actually reply that you and the whole group is furious and see what she says .I had an issue long time ago with one acquintance who arranged for a group to get together to celebrate her belated BD and didnt turn up, didnt appologies just sent the next day she was tired and fell asleep. there was a patter of very odd behaviour, I cut ties long time ago but after many years not seeing the friend i learned fromm someone else she had some mental issues and she didnt end up well:(

PuppyMonkey · 19/09/2022 11:20

You could reply “lol” or “sorry, who is this?”

But there’s also a part of me that would be worried if everything is okay with him/her, this is quite strange behaviour.
