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!!!!

Oh god no

Would love to have seen her face when she discovered your thread! 🤣

I reckon she thought she could get away with keeping them

Way too invested!

Great message!

She was cheeky but I personally wouldn't throw away a friendship over this, or even I didn't want to be friends anymore I wouldn't make this all the worse by posting everything on MN, you're coming across as very childish and petty here all for the sake of getting a little dopamine boost from some randoms on MN that you don't even know.

Fully invested

I wonder if her and her sister have just decided to keep it and hoped you would either accept getting a second hand one or just let it go.

What ever has happened it’s a shitty thing to do and hopefully she does the right thing and replaces it.

Lies, followed by more lies, followed by implausible bullshit, and no doubt more lies to come.

This disgraceful CF doesn't deserve an ounce of sympathy or diplomacy. And the OP's messages have been polite, restrained and absolutely fine.

As you possibly already know

How on earth is OP coming across as childish and petty? What do you suggest she should do, smile sweetly and simply gift her expensive possession to this CF?

Apropos of nothing, obv, but how's your hair looking this evening?

Great. You dont need to get into the he said she said who did what. As you say just replace it. The boundaries here confound me, lending a £500 bit of kit put that wasnt yours and borrowed!!

OP how is your hair doing? You must be so f off without your bit of kit

Eagerly awaiting her response..... 👀🤣

I find it odd that people are so careless of others possessions.

I would always take more care.

By posting every single update on MN, that's what is childish and petty.

If she was just sending those messages to her friend then that wouldn't be childish and petty, but she's acting like she's being mature and reasonable to her friend and then blasting her all over MN and saying everything her friend said. That's what's childish and petty.

Exactly

The CF's found the latest thread then

Good text @Langarg

I don’t believe a single thing she says. Hope you get the cash very soon!

She really is the ultimate CF. Hope you manage to get a new airwrap.

Hi

Very interesting first post

Tell us, have you known the OP long? Do you feel a bit silly having let this happen to the airwrap

Make sure the replacement is legit op. You don't want a £8.72 HairRapper from Temu.

Agree. The whole thing is a nasty 'pile on'. The friend was probably mortified and didnt know what to do, panicked and got caught but its hardly a hanging offence....the op will get her money back. I would never have thought that so many people would become so invested in something so trivial in the grand scheme of things. Its ridiculous.

No, I’m inclined to believe it too. Large glass of wine on the wrong part seems like a totally plausible accident to me (it’s meant to work with wet hair, not be submerged in a sink or a basin of water), as is the total blind panic about replacing it.

Always one 🙄 … OP has been incredibly patient, has been let down and repeatedly lied to. She has none the less tried to see the light side of what is actually a really lousy situation and fair play to her. It’s not her fault.
