Absolute CF. I know IANBU but sharing anyway.

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?

surely they’ve gone back on the ‘promise’ her daughter would attend…

This is bizarre in the extreme. Can you perhaps give her a call?? I genuinely don’t understand why she is not understanding this.

Is she pissed?

Oh please, let her come on here and ask AIBU!!

This Chicken Fucker is truly the gift that keeps on giving!

Oh, I wouldn't be letting that go I'm afraid. That's unbelievable.

I'm stunned.

In fact I'd write that in response to her and nothing else. What a horrible woman.

What the ACTUAL fuck is this woman on?!

What promise? Is she nuts ffs??

Blimey, she's doubled down. What was your initial message to her, when you invited the DD? I'm being generous in thinking maybe she has misunderstood the situation from the start.

That would be what a sane person would think.

“I didn’t think we were charging each other for “broken promises” - but since we are, you can pay me £50 for DD not coming.”

Bloody hell!

I'd message back:

Sorry, I'm really confused now. When did I promise that in the event of your DD not being able to come, I would pay you the price of the ticket? I'd love to know because we invited your DD to join us if she was free, that's all. The ticket and its value wasn't hers to keep regardless.

That's nuts.

How do people go through this life being so entitled!

Weird! I hope her daughter isn't too embarrassed!

Oh this infuriating! 'What promise? I never promised to pay her £50 for not turning up to an event I've invited her to, I've spent £50 on a ticket she's not using! This is absolutely ridiculous and to be honest I'm disappointed you're trying to extort another £50 from me after I've already spent £50 on a ticket for your daughter and I've had to find someone else to take it. You can't possibly think this is a reasonable way to interact with people.'

Crazy. Is there a language or cultural barrier here? Did she think that the ticket was a gift to her DD (has she had a recent birthday or something?). I'm clutching at straws because it's so bizarre.

And block

Or this 🤣

‘Apologies CF, what promise? I offered a ticket to your daughter (free - happily). She has said she can no longer attend. I’ve given the ticket to another. Can you enlighten me on promises backed down on and how I owe you money for a gift I gave to you? I’d be much obliged you batshit loony’.

maybe not the last sentence but, you know…

ON WHAT PLANET IS SHE?
🌎 🚀 🤪

You can’t reason with stupid.

It’s time to put her in her place. Don’t be too savage but she’s testing you to see how far she can go. I’m not one to be on here calling people unhinged, but she clearly is.

I keep refreshing the page for an update and I don't think my eyes have ever gone as wide in my life from the shock at her responses!

Wow,she’s doubling down 😂 absolutely batshit!
