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?

interesting that OP went to great lengths to conceal the sex of the 'person;, using 'they' to such an extent that it was not clear in the OP how many of 'them' there were, going for cigarettes...

But almost everyone assumed it was a female. Until op specified 'they' were a man.

Either way. it's odd, grasping behaviour, and I'd be cooling this 'friendship' right off.

mam0918 · 20/09/2022 18:40

I thought you where going to say you got ditched and they went out without you... what actually happened is someone hid from their own party and missed out.

It seems theres something much deeper going on and you where hardly a victim, you still got a night out with your friends you just had to wait because they where running late.

The fact that your first thought is for yourself not your friend might be part of the reason she left, most people sneak away when they are hurting in a room full of people and no one notices.

ThistleTits · 20/09/2022 18:46

@Neurospicyy not just cf but downright nasty.
I would cross the street to avoid someone who displays such infantile behaviour.

CountessWindyBottom · 20/09/2022 18:47

I feel this is going to be a prolonged drip-feed. I agree with the above poster re the intentionally ambiguous language in the OP. It's quite straightforward if they have a history of treating you badly then they are not a friend or potential love interest so have a bit of dignity, put on your big girl pants and tell him to fuck off. I only have brothers and sons and have had a lot of male friends throughout my life - subterfuge and subtlety doesn't work. Be direct.

‘Eh? You said you weren’t in the mood to celebrate your birthday? I took the hint you didn’t want the present after you left me stranded the other day.’

Then when he says he does, ignore.

This is just perfect. Absolutely perfect

Stick a packet of fags through the letter box.

this all sounds very juvenille
make your own mind up op

E17Stowmum · 20/09/2022 19:14

It takes an iron will to ignore a message, block and move on - but if it's revenge you want, this method never fails (except on many men of course, who either don't notice, or just forget).

Missingpop · 20/09/2022 19:25

Hey life’s too short for leaches like this shit faced fucker; text back Fuck off arsehole breath; last night was the final straw; I’m not your personal doormat if that’s what you call friendship I’d rather be Billy no mates Fuck off & don’t contact me ever again !!! Then block A - the arsewipe you deserve so much more that’s not a friendship.

They are next level CF!!!
I would simply open the message so ‘friend’ can see you’ve read it & not reply.
If they pressed for an answer you then continue to ignore them.
Treat them like they treat you.
I mean it is a bit petty but the ball is then in your court.

Alternatively you could say they are a cheeky fecker even assuming you’ve got them anything after they abandoned you at the bar & that your done being treated like sh1t by someone who has shown you clearly that they are not a friend.

Kill her. It’s for the best

Neurospicyy · 19/09/2022 10:06

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.

At least everyone knows what a cf friend A is. Never speak to them again, ever. That is just plain nasty. This person hates you, they are probably jealous, just back out now as things will only get worst.

Plenty of people have MH issues but don’t behave in that way.
Some people are just twats.
I wish people would stop making out that people with MH issues can’t behave in the same way as people without MH issues.

This.

Everyflippingusernameistaken · 20/09/2022 19:49

Just totally ignore the message and sever contact for good.

Shinegirl · 20/09/2022 19:50

Yes this

Elle8344 · 20/09/2022 19:50

I'd just tell her to f*ck off then block her.
What a horrible thing to do. I hope you're OK 🤗

Everyflippingusernameistaken · 20/09/2022 19:52

Mam0918 That's a nasty message and not true.

BettySwallocks · 20/09/2022 19:53

Text her to say you will pop her prezzie through her letter box....a nice pile of dog shit ( unwrapped)

Pixiedust1234 · 20/09/2022 19:54

I'm so sorry op, what a horrible friend. I would be tempted to do the standard reply when an exbf texts you out of the blue.

Who dis?

Then block.

So the other friends turned up but friend A who you had all turned up to celebrate with didn’t ?? What did the others say ???

MeridianB · 20/09/2022 19:58

She’s an obnoxious time-wasting CF. Not your friend. I’d ignore, block on everything and move on. You deserve better!

Vapeyvapevape · 20/09/2022 19:58

How old is the friend?

Neurospicyy · 20/09/2022 20:07

My reply to “drop my present in whenever” was eventually

“You have got to be joking. If I didn’t say happy birthday, what makes you think that I was going to bring your present round? That’s the most entitled thing I have ever heard. You have no respect for me and I quite clearly don’t have any interest in being your friend anymore.”

Their response “I was joking”

So I got a bit annoyed and reiterated I don’t think they respect me and the friendship was over. Cue them trying to make me feel bad saying “I’m the only one who’s been there for you for months etc” Untrue btw. But I have seen this person for who they are, I had done long ago but I’m finally done with it.

MeridianB · 20/09/2022 20:13

Well done, OP!

Now block!
