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!!!!

Friends don’t lie or steal from each other.

id be expecting the money to purchase a new one too! CF friend is out of order.

Only immoral, selfish and indecent people would defend a liar, a sloppy and lousy woman who steals expensive object, lies and never arrive at the resolution like a responsible adult. People like her who do similar to their friends will defend her.

Hi OP, have been following along since the beginning.
If she makes excuses and refuses to pay, I wouldn’t , follow the advice ok Gov website re options if you’re owed money (can’t post link)
And she has the brassed neck to blame her sister. Regardless of whether it was really her sister or not, this would have never happen if she had just returned it to you.
She needs to understand that she can’t just go around being a CF with no consequences.

I hope the CF “friend” is reading this
Keep us updated

Asserting yourself (especially when you know you are right) can be very empowering, it’s much better than shying away from an issue and then letting it play on your mind and having regrets about how you should have dealt with it

Yes that's it, a super fancy hairdryer. This thead has made me a bit sad that I have short hair. Want one!

Proud of you, @Langarg
I can't believe she didn't immediately offer to replace it! I really hope she replaces for you.... otherwise I'd be telling the new hubby 😂

I just watched a YouTube video on someone showing you how you use one. I couldn’t get through the whole thing as I find influencers insufferable but her hair looked nice. However, I had to remind myself that I would never be arsed to faff about for that long on my hair. I wish I was that person.

I totally disagree; this was property worth many hundreds of pounds. How would you like to be out that much money? And the CF has thrown away the friendship, not OP. CF was lucky to have a friend as nice as OP. Many people would have said no to that request.

The person trying to make it sound like you're in the wrong is either the cunt herself or the cunt's sister.
Imagine acting like asking for advice online (anonymously) is worse than lying and stealing 😂

I think I’d be looking into the small claims court if this isn’t sorted by the end of the week. Perhaps tell her that too? Jolt her into action.

"I wish I was that person."

"That person" = someone who "faffs about for a long time on their hair."

No, you don't wish you were that person!!! You just insulted women who like to do their hair! Own it! 😂

Although I think she’s a CF
mum so glad you got the truth - if only for and I hate this word some ‘closure’
now you just need a replacement

Im* so glad even!

I would, too. OP is out HUNDREDS of pounds.

Your friend is responsible for replacing your air wrap. She can then decide if she'll pursue her sister for the cost of it. This is certainly a lesson to everyone involved.

It's such a shame people don't respect other people's things. Accidents happen, but adults admit these mistakes and put things right.

Are we to believe that she also lied to her new husband about leaving the air wrap at the hotel? What a foundation on which to start a marriage 😳

I can understand the friend buying time. I can also see why it would have been hard to not let her sister borrow it actually. It would sound petty to refuse given the intimacy of the wedding and the fact she was borrowing them herself. Accidents happen and this is clearly an expensive one just after Christmas so I get she is panicking.

However yes you should get a new replacement so do hold out for that.

I don't believe the story for a moment.

Anyway, if the sister is involved, it will be easier to replace the Airwrap because they can pay half each!

But either way, the OP will never see that Airwrap again, not will she get any money unless she goes through the Small Claims court.

If the OP has just got married, I beg she got some cash gifts. I bet the 400 pounds at Boots sale price is within reach. But since none of CF's story is genuine, it won't matter.

The CF should be buying a new one in a colour of OP's choice, AND a presentation case in a colour of OP's choice, AND OP's choice of a new styling attachment, if there are any new ones that don't already come with it! That's what I'd do. But I wouldn't ask to borrow something like that anyway!

She's busy on this thread though OP...

Don't listen to the handful of ridiculous sock puppets, OP. You know how much support you've got.

I'd crack on with the small claim - you have all the evidence you need to establish the facts.

The lying CF has zero intention of doing the right thing.

She's been a right twat lying so so much about it all

Dh left it on the blue carpet and didn't see it as it blended in
She called the hotel and they said no it's not in the room
The hotel staff stole it
She was driving to the Hotel on 2nd Jan to have it out with them

Ridiculous and so embarrassing.

The eventual resolution is giving you the money (or the product and receipt) so she should've just said day one "I'm so sorry, it broke, I've ordered a replacement".

Now she's lost a friend, due entirely down to her bullshitting.

I saw the first few pages of the first episode, none of the second but it is irrelevant how the OP's property was lost, damaged, stolen by aliens etc., it's the fault and responsibility of the person who borrowed it!
Small claims court would be my next move, sorry if it's been said before.

If you are thinking small claims I wonder if you should state your position in a message where you state the facts.

XX/XX- I agreed to lend you the use of my personal Dyson Air Wrap which was in good working order for your wedding on XX/XX

XX/XX - I contacted you for return of the Air Wrap. Your response was that it was stolen from the hotel.

XX/XX- On this day you reported that you had lent it too XXXX without my permission and they have broken it.

XX/XX- I requested you repay me for the broken AirWrap or purchase a new one at the equivalent value of XXX.

Keep it simple, don't add any further details of mad stories of it being in a blue box which was the same as the carpet, or someone spilt wine over it. Stick to the facts which is you lent her the AW, she has not returned it, and is now reporting to have broken it. You want it to be replaced.

I hope you get a new one, and a huge bunch of flowers !

I’m clearly way too over invested here by even commenting this! But I have an airwrap and I’ve just taken a look at it - if I split a glass on wine on it I don’t see how that would break it. It’s well sealed and if left to dry would probably be ok. Would be different if I dropped it in a bucket of water and left it there?! But I’d notice immediately if I had spilled wine on my airwrap, and just dry it quickly. Unless she poured the wine down the vent ?! It doesn’t make any sense to me.

Yes totally this
even if she’d said I’ve broke it and I need time to replace it etc that would of been better than the lies - she’s been disrespectful beyond belief x
