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?

Definately a CF but maybe she thinks that as the ticket was a gift to her daughter that her daughter owns it now regardless of whether or not she could attend?

But it was an invitation, not a gift

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

Erm. Quite curt I thought.

She thought you were giving her child a gift and is asking for the money instead. Like asking for a gift receipt. Awks! God if she wasn’t a CF she’d be mortified when she realised she’s made herself look like one.

Me: "Would your DD like to come for dinner?"

CF: "Sure!"

CF: "Can't now - Just send her a deliveroo please, thanks"

It is no different to this happening 😳🤣 wow!

“I’ve refunded the money into the account you paid me from”

Oh please do this one

Blarghism · 06/11/2025 19:02

Tell her to treat her daughter using the money she would have spent on your thank you present.

@JeffTheSquirrel tiny favour, but please don't update during the CTs. I have a chronic inability to multitask and can only follow one epic Saga at a time.

Noshowlomo · 06/11/2025 19:04

Wow. Some good examples to use on this thread if she comes back again, such as if you’re a wedding guest who can’t attend then you don’t expect to he financially compensated for the cost of the meal you missed. Thats if you can be arsed to reply to her if she does reply. She’s nuts

HellsBells67 · 06/11/2025 19:04

I'd reply "So let me get this straight. I spent £50 on your dd's ticket, she can't make it and so you think I should spend another £50 to give you for some reason that I cannot make out? How does that work? Honestly confused"

Middlemarch123 · 06/11/2025 19:06

Seriously for a minute, is it possible that CF gave her DD fifty quid to pass onto OP, DD told her she had done this, but actually pocketed the money herself?

Om83 · 06/11/2025 19:06

I nearly missed my train stop trying to read this thread! Can not believe the CF!! It’s gold 😂😂

This is the perfect answer. Surely even cheeky fucker can understand this?

Oooooo - potential twist in the tale!!

This is so weird, does she think her daughter paid your DD for the ticket? If not she’s an absolute Chicken Fucker!

Cheeky fucker @Left , leave the poor chickens alone 😂

lizzyBennet08 · 06/11/2025 19:12

Omg... this is outrageous! Honestly this is next level!

AhBiscuits · 06/11/2025 19:12

I don't think she'll reply again.

usedtobeaylis · 06/11/2025 19:15

That is absolutely bizarre. Batshit. She had paid no money and nothing else matters there.

Littlejellyuk · 06/11/2025 19:16

Chicken fucker still has me ROTFL

ISpyNoPlumPie · 06/11/2025 18:43

I think it’s a good response @JeffTheSquirrel. Also I hope she replies before the celebrity traitors final or my evening is fucked 😆

This made me laugh out loud. 100% agree.

RancidRuby · 06/11/2025 19:24

Bless the poster that thought CF meant chicken fucker, highlight of my day 😃

JeffTheSquirrel · 06/11/2025 19:26

Response: “well that’s a shame that you’ve gone back on a promise”.

Bloody hell. I genuinely don’t know where her mind is now.
