Should she replace it? Part 2

[Langarg]

Starting the new thread ahead of hopefully having an update soon!

Op send her the link so she's not as much out of pocket and will have saved herself £100 and prob £50 in fuel going ro the hotel.personally. amd then block.

Very invested in this.

Outrageous friend… let’s hope she realises she’s been an idiot and sorts it out pdq.

Not really the point, I feel.

If any 'shine' has been lost, it's down to her behaviour and choices entirely. She's proved herself to be a shit friend who likes to pass blame for her own actions. Only a grovelling apology along with your dyson or a brand new one to replace it will fix this, not her continued self-absorbed, arse-covering snivelling.

The text was uncalled for, she is clearly in the wrong here.

Call the hotel yourself and tell her the outcome of the call. Then either she organises for the safe return or sends you the money to replace it. Currently £399 in boots of she’s fast.

And me 😄

I wonder if that was just code for 'you aren't important enough to me to invite - but your posh Dyson is welcome'.

It's an even weaker excuse than if they had had/admitted to having a wedding with 100 guests to organise and coordinate: just the two of them and a couple of pals/acquaintances, but they were still too rushed off their feet to take 30 seconds for a quick eye-sweep around the hotel room before departing?

God, no, that’s her goal!

Then she can dump the OP and not return the Air Wrap, while claiming she was hard done by.

”Happy New Year! I agree with you - drop the hair dryer off today (or <this> replacement from Boots if you don’t have it) and we’ll draw a line under the whole thing as a 2024 issue. See you later on!”

How dare you not let her steal your airwrap. Some friend!

I also think that Lo! It is found; in a corner of the boot/groom accidentally packed it/hotel staff had put it somewhere for safekeeping.

It's not the main point, but if it was a big affair and OP still wasn't a close enough friend to make the cut - but she was good enough to sacrifice her expensive hair equipment for the bride to look her best - I think that is relevant.

I would get the item back and then block the twat

I suggest the OP offer to contribute £100 towards a new one, as after all she will get a new one which will last a lot longer than the old one would have. And the friend might be more graceful in substituting the 'lost' one with a new one.

Cheeky bitch. Give it back or pay up for a new one the same model!

I would perhaps offer petrol money towards her going to 'check the hotel in person'

Her taking your hair wrap is her taking the shine off her own wedding. Unbelievable cf business.
Stay strong OP!

@Langarg This is the wedding that she didn't even invite you to, yeah?

She is way beyond a CF. Your friendship is over. Do not get off her case until she gives you a new, like for like hairdryer (or your own one!) & then run for the hills & don't look back!

Placemarking also!

She's definitely trying it on, cheeky mare!

That's drunken guilt in that text!

Looking forward to tomorrow's update...

What a cheeky bitch!! Don’t back down, insisting on a new one if the old one doesn’t magically turn up.

She’s no friend, the greedy shameless user!

It's obviously suspicious that she didn't contact the hotel when she realised it was missing. I've found that hotels are exceptional with lost property in the main. If an airwrap had been left in a room most would contact the guest! I had a boss who left shoes and a shirt in the wardrobe and the hotel rang me to organise collection.

Unless it was the sort of hotel that has really really dishonest housekeeping (it's not exactly finding a fiver on the floor though, is it?)

I’d be getting my new Airwrap and then the only thing I’d be leaving in 2024 would be her!

@Langarg OMG talk about selfish. How about how her CF ways have taken the tarnish off your friendship? Unbelievable. Waiting for the next update/hoping your Airwrap (or a brand new one) turns up.
