Page 7 | Should she replace it? Part 3

Langarg · 2025-01-02T19:09:05+00:00

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!!!!

Woah there! 🖐🏽

PlopSofa · 02/01/2025 20:19

She's nicked it.

She's making up a ton of shit so that she can keep the hairdryer.

She's realised that the airwrap is a styling beast and she's decided to help herself to it and this is one huge cock and bull story about how she's broken it or left it somewhere so she can get her greedy mits on it.

It reminds me of a tale on here about a year ago, where a woman stayed in an AirBnB with her friends and she had a pair of reading glasses that her 'friend' spied and said how nice they were. They were expensive and a treat for the woman, she was loving her new reading glasses.

Low and behold, the glasses went missing on the weekend trip. They then turned up on the 'friend's face a few days later on a social media post.

She also had form for begging/stealing/guilting all her friends into giving/borrowing never to return stuff from them all.

She "wasn't in a good place mentally" so none of the friends wanted to say anything.

So nice person lost expensive glasses and filthy greedy friend got to snaffle something for herself.

Friendship was over though...

You can't steal from your friends. That's not what friends do to each other.

As PP has said, the Cheeky Fucker is obviously one /all of you who have just appeared on this thread giving OP a hard time.

Who is it, cos it's one of you?

Own up!!

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.

Why would you want to retain a friendship with someone who is at best a liar, and at worst a thief?

AMurderofMurderingCrows · 02/01/2025 20:09

@Pickledpoppetpickle no, with friends like you CF, who needs enemies

this is just like teenage girls, you know that don't you? Someone does something wrong, struggles to put it right because they just don't have the money to do the right thing (I would guess), and so tries to get round it till such a time as they are able to make it right. The person who has had whatever it is done to them, recruits everyone in the year to back them up. And then when some bystanders ultimately start to feel uncomfortable with the lengths that are being gone to, they are accused of god knows what and are expected to take the 'right' side or face ridicule themselves. It's classic teen.

menopausalfart · 02/01/2025 20:21

I imagine many people on these threads have encountered cheeky fuckers like this and are venting their anger in agreement. If these threads have helped the OP in any way, then that's good enough.

£500 is definitely worth saying goodbye to a 'friend' over. That's a thief, not a friend!!

Again, no one is telling her she was wrong to insist on getting it back.

It's the way she's going on on MN that people are criticising.
This shouldn't be difficult to understand.

It’s anonymous - and if the CF friend reads it and feels ashamed then good, it is throughly deserved. If these threads have empowered OP to stand up for herself and trust her own instincts both now and in the future then it can only be a great thing.

Her so called friend robbed her of over £400, I’m not at all surprised she’s enjoying rubbing it in and shaming her. Many of us, having had similar experiences, can totally understand how angry and betrayed OP feels and how much the friend deserves the consequences.

Soniastrumpet1984 · 02/01/2025 20:23

I camt believe how long she has strung you on for. You need that airwrap tomorrow!!

Langarg · 02/01/2025 19:55

It seem a few people think I’m being petty, childlike and ‘piling on’ my friend. Of course you’re entitled to your opinion. You’ve only seen a snippet of the interactions but ultimately my friend massively took the p*ss out of me by telling lie after lie. She has form for being a bit of a rubbish friend so whilst some may feel that it’s a bad thing that I’ve been ‘goaded on’ by other mumsnetters, it’s actually been nice to have the backing and support of so many people when I can be a bit of a people pleaser at times. It’s given me the balls to be direct in my responses rather than allowing myself to be guilt tripped in to letting this go

Dam right, a friend and a decent human being would have replaced it immediately, this woman is a CF low class woman and potentially a thief

No, that's just the MN crowd who think these kind of stories are the best ever and can't wait to hear any update.

In real life people don't tend to behave like that.

I guarantee the OP will cringe in a years time if someone she knew found her posts and read them to her

Show quote history

@kkloo you don’t need to follow or post if you are so offended? For one so ‘morally outraged’ observe you do seem to be fully up to speed all the same and seem compelled to put your 2p worth in (repeatedly). 😉 OP has nothing to cringe about, most of us think she comes across as a level headed lovely lass, also not fair to victim blame especially whilst continuously hijacking her thread. Maybe start your own… such as - Why oh Why do MumsNet Users Not Appreciate My Moral Superiority!? 🤔

RadFs · 02/01/2025 20:24

@op glad you’ve got some story from
her. However, how do you know if boots will still have the air wrap for £399 by the time she transfers you the money?

IlooklikeNigella · 02/01/2025 20:24

OP I don't love a hysterical pile-on but I don't believe that's what has happened here. Your friend has behaved abominably, you've asserted yourself and you've reported here for support.

Your friend didn't 'make a mistake' like some posters are inferring. She misled you and tried to manipulate you. It's disgusting.

I feel very very bad for you because you will never have a trusting relationship again but that's her fault, not yours.

Moveoverdarlin · 02/01/2025 20:25

She’s awful. It could all be utter bullshit. I’d put the wind up her now and fire off a text to her saying.

Hi, I’ve got your sister’s number off a friend of a friend. I’m ringing her now to have it out with her.

Bet she shits herself. I think all the sister stuff is BS. She’s broken it, sold it or wants to keep it.

kkloo · 02/01/2025 19:46

Amazing how so many of you came up with such an original comment all by yourselves at almost the exact same time 😂

I stand by it that it's childish and petty. I'd be mortified if I went on like that about a friend on MN, even if I was planning on not being friends anymore. To those who know them who read about this then I bet that they'll think the OP came off worse than the friend.

Hi, kkloo 👋 Good to hear your wedding went well. It's time you ordered that replacement AirWrap for OP, isn't it?

Can someone please explain why a hairdryer would cost £399 and if it’s worth it? Asking for a friend

Pipsquiggle · 02/01/2025 20:25

What a surprise - not!

So the performative 'trip to the hotel' was also BS.

Stay firm @Langarg - hopefully this will be a learning experience for this family of CFers!

Pickledpoppetpickle · 02/01/2025 19:55

There is something really distasteful about some of your posts,OP. I mean in relation to your believing your friend will likely have seen all of this and your assumption is that she will now make the decision not to pay. You have listened to strangers, rather than trusting in your friendship, and have been happy to accuse her of every awful thing possible in relation to this airwrap.

She did a stupid thing - she knows that. Maybe she tried to 'get away with it' but I think we can all agree, she's had her compuance in abudance. You got confirmation of how right you are in the first thread. Now it feels like you're just bashing her because you can, safe in the knowledge that the internet backs you. It makes me itch and it's bullying.

I hope she refunds you the money and as much as you feel the need to step back from the relationship because what might have happened, if she has seen these threads, she would be equally right to step back from you, regardless of how in the wrong she might have been. This is mumsnet at it's worst, I think. The pile on is horrible and is happening all the more because posters believe the woman concerned can see this.

With friends like you, who needs enemies, eh?

Are you the “friend”, by any chance?

Three threads in and I’m not adding much more than anyone else, but she should have confessed and bought you a new one right away. Not a second hand one, a new one. That would have been the right thing to do.

Slightly reminds me of the episode in sex and the city where someone steals Carrie’s shoes at her friend’s apartment and then her friend tries to shame her for buying them; then Carrie sends her a gift listing with just those shoes on it.

AllEndeavour · 02/01/2025 20:30

She has definetly shared this thread with her family to get them to try and make you out to be the bad guy. Even more pathetic.

CF just give OP what you owe her and you can both move on!

Yes, of course the friend needs to get it sorted. I would hazard a guess that the reason it hasn't been sorted is a) she's struggling financially what with just having got married, Christmas and the general cost of living and b) having more than likely seen the OP's nastiness, feels the needs to dig her heels in a bit.

Time will tell. If she's salaried, she may just have been paid so hopefully that will sort it.

It does different things - you place different nozzles and attachments to the machine. The hairdryer attachment is probably the worst, it excels more with the brush and curling heads. You can pretty much do whatever, dry hair, curl, straighten, volume etc. it doesn’t pull anything in or spit anything out though.

Her friend ruined the friendship not the OP, if her friend valued her friendship at all she would have done cleaning instead of concocting this BS story of leaving it at the hotel.
