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!!!!

How bizarre that the radt of posters against the OP have all appeared at once!

Total co incidence I'm sure

So strange

@Langarg ignore the mad people who think you should put up with this nonsense.

Your former friend should be thoroughly ashamed of herself. Truth costs nothing even if the replacement does have a cost.

I doubt your charger got stolen, people leaving their chargers in hotel rooms must happen quite often for staff not to see it as remarkable or desirable. It’s probably been misplaced or binned.

Yep. After two full threads, a bus load all turn up at once. Funny that

Don’t understand the sudden hate, the friend should have been honest from the beginning but she messed op around. Op is entitled to feel hurt and annoyed about this.

Great response. And actually the woman will get £60 of points on Advantage Card for buying it from Boots so ahe'll gey something back.

What would be the value of a second hand air wrap? I can't think it'd be of sufficient value for the small claims court (to be worthwhile). Your friend's lies are ridiculous, she should've just owned up. Ultimately though, if you lend something you're taking the risk of it being damaged/lost. I think you'll need to just chalk this one up to experience.

CF friend has got all her rellies on the case!

I've left more chargers at hotels and air BnB than I probably should have done. I've got them all back.

We're on the third thread, and I've just realised I don't actually know what an air wrap is! Is it like a fancy hair dryer?

there's feeling hurt and annoyed and there's milking it to an incredibly high level.

Place marking! There’s not much excitement in my life at the memoent! 😂

I'm literally here again to see the OP get a new hair wrap

Good for you. Doesn’t make chargers any more desirable to steal.

Hi CF ex-friend, is that you ?! 👀👀

Someone went and got their army of alt email address cough sorry I mean friends

And here’s the friend ….

I think it's more likely someone would pocket a brand new iPhone charger than put it in the bin personally.

Well done Op for standing up for yourself. Your friend did not respect your property, is the basics of the thing, so she should replace it.
She tried hiding the truth from you, which was silly, she should have just been honest, and fast with it.

I hope you get a replacement (and not a 2nd hand older model).

Nor did I. This saga has been quite the learning curve. Hairstyling systems don't interest me in themselves, but consumables do and I've got a MacBook Air, another desirable item people argue about. MacBooks and AirWraps compare quite well; both expensive of their kind, with many fervent advocates and detractors and they both have a cute capital letter mid-name 😁Not that I was planning to lend my lovely laptop out anyway, but having followed this epic tale of @Langarg and the AirWrap v CF I'm all the more decided that it will not leave my hands.

Hopefully this thread will see the return of the airwrap 🤞🤞🤞

Ignore the "oooo your been mean" brigade, OP. You've handled this well. She's still spinning you a yarn though. My money is on "flogged it and pocketed the cash".

’Friend ‘ has been awful but the glee in updating the hoards of us watching seems a little too dramatic. Initially I was horrified for OP but my sympathy has waned !

It's a fiddly, fussy, over complicated and over priced (because it has Dyson stamped on it) way of drying and/or curling your hair.

How anyone can criticise you for being assertive with your ‘friend’ when she borrowed a £400 product from you, didn’t return it, lied about what happened to it and declined to replace it, is beyond me. I can only think those posters empathise with the ‘friend’ because they would behave like her!
