Should she replace it? Part 3

[Langarg]

I can’t believe we have a part 3 🤣 this has provided some lighthearted entertainment at a time where I’m feeling really let down by someone I considered a good friend. So thank you! I have posted an update on thread 2, will post it here also.

I have sent the following text message ‘Having reflected on what you have said, how the airwrap was lost/broken or otherwise is irrelevant. I considered asking you for pictures of the broken airwrap or asking to speak to your sister to ask her what happened but it will get us nowhere. All that matters is I am down a Dyson airwrap and I want a new replacement. You’ll need to either transfer me the £399 tonight to pay for this or purchase it yourself from boots and send me the email receipt this evening. You can then sort out with your sister whether she is going to contribute to the cost of it. We can then put this behind us’

I have no interest in maintaining the friendship after this for obvious reasons. I am worried that she’s seen the thread (how can she not have 🤣) and knows this fine well so will have no intention of replacing it sadly.

I don’t think I’ll ever get the truth (was there even a wedding at this rate?! 🤣) all that matters to me now is getting a replacement airwrap!!!!

I can't find the original threads 😭 can someone please link.

There's a "watch" button you can press to stop the thread filling up with people comment to follow 😅

I think OP has been more than patient in her dealings with the borrower

Doesn't matter if the pope of Rome waltzed in and pinched it. Facts are you're friend borrowed it and is responsible for what happened to it while it was in her care.

Wow was not expecting this outcome OP, so sad for you to find out that your friend is such a CF

Totally agree with going through small claims court because no way she is going to get you a new one, excuse after excuse. She will have court costs as well then
You could try speaking to the husband and telling him, as she won't of dared tell him.
If no hairdryer appears buy end of week, send a letter of intent recorded delivery to her.

Are you?….. are you the friend?? 😂😂

Only came across this today, but shamelessly and unhealthily invested.
It's like binge watching a Harlan Coben on Netflix...
👀👀👀👀👀

Welcome to the party 🥳🍿… OP has had the patience of a Saint so far as cheeky fuckeriness sums it up perfectly…

Continuing to follow.💕

Ohh the CF has changed her story? I must have missed an update.

But how many times have you broken your sisters friends airwrap at the same time as drinking wine (or any other hairdryer)
Also a small amount of wine would probably be ok, as they are designed for using with wet hair/hands?
Seems very unlucky

I may well have missed a few responses in the multiple threads , apologies if this is the case.

I’m really hoping that decency wins out here and she does the right thing and gives you the money/orders one from boots

👀👀

Good response @Langarg 🍿

At some point the CF needs to get herself a headscarf.
Because my money’s on her having sold the AW, or got someone else to sell it.
These grifters walk among us!

That sounds like a very good response, @Langarg.

Perfect response, following for updates!

The plot thickens - following with interest!

Oh shut up.

OP has been treated appallingly, friend has behaved disgustingly!

With friends like these, who needs enemies.

You should not have ignored your better judgement and leant her the dryer.

@Langarg

Following avidly! 🤣

I don't think for a second that her sister broke it with spilled wine so who knows what the real story is, but your patience & civility is to be MUCH admired - I'd have lost my shit & been VERY rude & confrontational by now!!

Following. Hope you get your money
