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?

If she doubles down, send her a link to this thread

"Do you want to come and see this show with us?"

"Afraid I can't make it. Can I just have the money instead?"

omg just read the thread. What the hell is wrong with this woman. Trying to make money out of you!

Wow, just wow!! 😮

Like banging your head against a brick wall.
Send her a thumbs up, block her and forget it. She doesn't get it, she isn't going to get it.

Is it possible that when CF's daughter discovered she couldn't go she was so upset that your DD innocently (and a little foolishly) said something like "Never mind, maybe my Mum will pay for you to do something else with us another time" and that has been misinterpreted?

That's a good reply! I would have said very similar along the lines of "again, I'm really confused as there was no promise of a treat. Perhaps you're thinking of something else? We just happened to have a spare ticket to X and thought your DD might like to go, but unfortunately she couldn't make it so we offered the ticket to someone else."

Her reply is utterly bizarre. Is English her second language and she has got her translation wrong?

This is the definition of cf. the mind boggles how someone can be this entitled.

She's clearly thick. And crazy!

This is incredible!
I could do with one of my friends inviting me on an all inclusive trip to the Maldives so I can ask for the money instead
WTAF 🤣🤣

Can I suggest a name for this thread? How about: Chicken fucker's cash alternative.

I am angry on your behalf.

Honestly, entertaining as it is to draw out more of her batshittery , I would stop asking her questions and say “There is clearly a misunderstanding about the nature of the offer to take xx to the concert with us. We invited her to attend with us, so when she was unable to attend we invited someone else in her place. We are sorry she was unable to come and sorry if you misunderstood my intention”

Otherwise the whole thing will escalate into handbags at dawn and be difficult for the girls.

This is better than any tv programme! Xs mum is what kids would call "Final Boss" cheeky fucker.
Poor X, how embarrassing

There was a similar story on MN recently! Poster offered her "unlucky-with-money" friend weekend at spa, and the cf friend asked for cash instead

She knows. SURELY, she's seen this thread and is pissed off you posted about her, so wants to wind you up. I can't imagine people like this exist otherwise.

Blimey. She is deluded iif she thinks you owe her anything!

I would say to her that she is lucky you’re not asking her to pay for the wasted ticket. She is just seething that you could’ve been making a profit off of the ticket.

So she want you to give her £50 for free.. that's ridiculous!

If your child has a party and 10 kids cant make it are you expected to pay them all a fee.

Tell her it doesn't work like that !

Also , tell her you only got £2.50 for the ticket and c if she wants that transfered !

@JeffTheSquirrel how old are the girls?
Needing full details!! ( Not that it makes a difference)

Her response (in the nick of time for Sleb Traitors): “X is so upset, I thought you’d like to make amends”.

WTF?? I’m very sympathetic to X but it ain’t my fault she now can’t make it. I’m sort of entertained in keeping this going, but mindful I don’t want to do anything to impact the friendship.

Amends for what?!

She needs to step away from the crack pipe and put the phone down.

I would have to ask what I need to make amends for! You're not stopping her coming!

Hahaha 🤣 I would take that as a joke. No one is that thick/rude surely?
