I had my friend stay the night last night, I waved her off goodbye this morning.

I said something unwittingly last night that made her think I’m after the same man she is, I am not. He is a mutual friend. I could see she was upset and tried to clarify things, she said she understood and she was fine. We both went to bed. Me upstairs. Her downstairs.

After I have seen her off this morning, I have just noticed a number of my jewellery on the hallways console are either broken or bent out of shape beyond recognition.

They were fine last night, there is no one else here who could have done it. I could see she was not only upset but angry last night, but seemed to have composed herself and it was resolved.

I have just sent a text to her saying can you tell me what happened to my jewellery on the console?

I am so shocked and upset I’m almost shaking, I feel so betrayed and violated.

What can I do next?

@SamphiretheTervosaur

That’s truly awful. Unforgivable. You must’ve been heartsick, too.
My brother’s friend at uni was Italian - both his parents were first-generation Italian-American.
His mother kept a very clean house - so one day she went into his bedroom and took each LP out of its sleeve and carefully cleaned it with furniture polish. I mean, she sprayed that wax concoction on each and every single record and wiped it off.
I don’t remember how many she ruined - 200? 500? All of them.
She was so pleased with herself when she told him.
He cried.

What’s that got to do with the price of fish?!

So, how did this end? Did your friend pay?

@Bunnyboilerfriend - what was the outcome in the end? Your last post was hoping that £300 would turn up through your door in an unmarked envelope which was about a month ago.

Any update @Bunnyboilerfriend ?

AnnoyedAsAllHeck · 30/06/2025 12:33

I would like to know how it ended also. @Bunnyboilerfriend did she pay, or did you follow through with going further?
