Absolute CF. I know IANBU but sharing anyway.

[JeffTheSquirrel]

I bought 3 tickets to a show this weekend, for me & DD + a friend of her choice. I paid for them all (£50+ each) but told the mum of invited friend that I didn’t want any contribution. All good.

Now the friend unfortunately can’t make it (legit reason). I mentioned that I’d probably be able to sell ticket as it’s very popular, so no worries (as it happens, another friend has accepted a late invite).

The mum of original invitee asked me to transfer the cost of the ticket to her, so she can treat her DD for missing out.

Eh??

I mean that’s batshit, right?

I expect that in her head this is what's happening.

DIC (dear invited child) was given a gift of the ticket.
DIC can no longer attend
OP is now selling the gift, and DIC is therefore due the funds.

It takes balls to ask, I'll give her that

I’m gripped. I can’t wait to read the reply. WTAF kind of CFery was that!!

I can’t believe what I’ve read, CF of the highest order!!! 😳

🤭😂😂

She'll probably try and style it out and say oh I thought I had sent you the money.

But DIC wasn't "given the gift of a ticket" - she was invited to attend something with Squirrel Jnr.

The suspense is killing me 😭 @JeffTheSquirrel
Why hasn't she replied? Is she sorting the tea? Did she have a change of heart? 🤔

Unless she's also a fellow mumsnetter and she's seen this thread and thought oh crap, I have been rumbled and I'm now the leading CF of all CF's in November! 😆 🤣 😂

Shamelessly place marking in anticipation of the response.

You were willing to gift a £50 ticket and now the daughter can't use it you should gift her the monetary value?

People are batshit in their entitlement these days.

WTAF?!

Ooh can't wait for her response!!!

?!?!?!?!?!?!

Shamelessly following for the reply!

I think she must be top of the CF leaderboard for this year!

Costa Cheeka.

She just replied, “the money for the ticket you gave to X.”

Erm. Quite curt I thought.

😮😮😮

Please ask her to explain

Cheeky fucker!

Maybe she forgot for a moment she isn’t on a 90s tv game show that offered cash alternatives?

That is hilarious, OP. Now you can have fun.

Holy shit!!

The audacity!!

She thinks it was a gift for her daughter. Honestly I think some people are just quite thick.

Offer her the ticket back and see what she intends to do with it. CF indeed!

Ah. She thinks you gave her DD a ticket rather than you buying a ticket that you were letting her DD use.

'Sorry for the confusion, I didn't buy your DD a ticket, I bought an extra ticket so my DD could bring a friend, so no I won't be passing over money to you.'

She didn't??!!! How the fuck do these people exist???
