Someone's taken credit for anonymous treat!

[Monstersinked]

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!

Yabu. All this drama, if you wanted to treat her you should have done it not this anonymous rubbish.

I'm WAAAAAAY more passive aggressive than that and would have commented underneath:

"Clearly we're all Spartacus... "

ARE you the friend, though?

Just following as I need to know how this pans out 😂

This is even better because cheeky cow will really land herself in it if she accepts thanks etc then friend finds out it wasn't her.

Totally agree with this. A private message to your friend to say I'm glad you liked it just wanted to Cheer you up, let's them know it was you but doesn't get awkward.

You don't want to turn the lively deed into something awkward by engaging in a public spat.

Then when the friend asked if it was her what was she supposed to say?

"Sorry mate, not me lol, wish I'd thought of it though, hope you enjoy it".

Excellent shout! Then the other person has to send something or admit she was taking credit!

I probably wouldnt say anything as I'm a wimp and wouldn't want to deal with it, but I would want to have messaged the cf saying

"Hiya, any chance you could make it clear to X that the tea was not from you?
It was sent anonomously because X always wants to reciprocate gifts and as she is having a hard time at the moment, I wanted to give her a treat that she could enjoy without the stress of having to do that.
I'm worried she might misinterpret your comment and try to reciprocate the gift will only add to all of her stress right now, which obviously defeats the point of the treat in the first place haha, thank you"

Just posting to see how it ends up as this kind of thing would annoy the hell out of me

Come back, OP. We need live updates. 😂

This thread is mangling my head 😂

It was done anonymously because the friend always wants to reciprocate things and the OP didn’t want her to.

Please let us know what your friend says when she realises it was you who sent it.

How do you tag someone in a WhatsApp post?

This.

I think they said something nice: "You deserve it" and the unexpected response has created embarrassment.

I would just PM the friend and tell her that you sent it.

Oh dear 😅

I suppose you could have both bought one, by some mad coincidence!

By typing @ and then their name.

But I think she meant in the Facebook post anyway.

That is a ridiculous way of dealing with it

These have ways of coming out.

I had a situation at work where I suspected someone was taking credit for something I'd done.
Then in front of me someone (in all innocence-I know the person well) said to them how much someone else had liked it. Idiot then had to back down and say she didn't do it although she claimed she didn't do it. Was worth it to see the humph look on their face.

I'm back, sorry to keep you dangling.

She rang me! As soon as she read the message! We've just spent the last 20 minutes laughing about it! She was totally convinced it was from me at first as it's the type of thing we do for each other, but the posts from cheeky cow totally made her think cheeky cow sent it!

I've told her to leave the post tagged for the time being....

Good!

OP you’re mate has got to play along with her for a bit now… tell CF Cream Tea Fibber she’s sent her something nice back to say thank you.
