Someone's taken credit for anonymous treat!

Quick silly one but not sure what to do.

Friend has had a hard time so I've sent them a cream tea type surprise treat. Left the card anonymous but she finds it difficult to receive without reciprocating and I wanted her to have something just for her with no strings, to cheer her up.

She posts it on social media, another Friend (I don't know) comments, saying enjoy, glad you like, you deserve it type thing

My friend says ahhhh was it you, youre amazing

Other friend says wink wink it's anonymous so I guess you'll never know

Now, to me there alluding it was then. Taking all the bloody credit. I know I didn't send it for credit or even thanks but I'm a little pissed off!

I prefer the idea of saying nothing further on FB and the OP's friend going into work on Monday saying nothing about it and waiting to see what CF does.

Cheeky cow is a work friend.

My friend is saying she'll take a bunch of flowers in on Monday for her, see what she does Grin

So your friend KNOWS it wasn't her but is going to 'reward' her anyway??

Has Creamy Fucker left a review yet? What's she playing at? She's had aaaages and we're all sat here wondering which way she's gonna go

OnlyFannys · 22/04/2023 14:41

I'm far too invested in this and really need a conclusion. Never before have I been so tensely awaited an update on cream tea

She's not replied to that gem yet, not even a Thumbs up.

17 minutes to go, if she’s going to eat it bang on 3pm. We’re all waiting.

tiktokoclock · 22/04/2023 14:44

Never in my life have I been this excited about a cream tea I'm not going to eat!

tiktokoclock · 22/04/2023 14:44

What about if your friend posts a pic of the scones and tags you in it, not CF...

OMG THIS!!!!!

Whiskeypowers · 22/04/2023 14:49

that woman is unhinged
who the fuck does this?

I’m cringing 😬

NoTouch · 22/04/2023 14:50

CF is very heavily implying it was her, but hasn't actually said outright it was, so she can just deny it, say she was trying to keep the secret going and play victim when she is eventually challenged (we all know the type!)

When your friend has her cream tea she should directly thank CF for them and try to word it to get her to respond with a definite yes or no before you respond with anything.

Please please get another mutual friend to add a comment on the Facebook post:

”OMG I just saw this thread on Mumsnet
https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4790371-someones-taken-credit-for-anonymous-treat?page=9 this isn’t about you is it?”

Then everyone following will know CF is being a CF!

I really think you should do this. Unless you don’t care everyone thinks it’s the friend as the post will have fizzed out by Monday.

Jonei · 22/04/2023 14:52

Shameless follow 😂

Katrinawaves · 22/04/2023 14:53

It’s going to make it really awkward at work that’s for sure!

Shelefttheweb · 22/04/2023 14:54

This is the sort of thread that turns up in the tabloids so you probably won’t need to say anything.

TheObstinateHeadstrongGirl · 22/04/2023 14:54

This could all have been avoided if you’d just put your name to it.

AppallinglyReheated · 22/04/2023 14:54

Shamelessly invested in this - slow day at work!

Get recipient friend to tag you in lovely pic of jammy creamy scone, beaming THANKS MONSTER...

Thus leaving everyone who believed it to be the CF confused and 'wtf' and CF will know she's been rumbled, without starting an actual spat in which she can pretend she just made a mistake, misunderstanding, whoopsy.

You’re right
some twat from the daily Fail will be all over it soon.

Inchysaurus · 22/04/2023 14:58

☕Best thread of the weekend! Can’t wait to hear what CF replies about the teabags

But think how much enjoyment this situation has created. We are all on tenterhooks waiting for the best update. I think even the OP is having fun with it now 😁

Cheeky cow has rained in our parade

She's just text my friend.

"Hi, just in from xxxx's football training, so couldn't text earlier. I didn't sent the present darling, just said it was a lovely idea. Hugs, cheeky cow"

Light and breezy, no acknowledgement!!
