Okay a few more tales from the bacon snatcher:
Went on holiday with this woman with a few other friends - mistake! We shared a room and there was this big double bed and a tiny rickety camp cot. I volunteered to sleep on the camp cot the first week if we switched for the second, she agreed. After 1st week I asked about the beds again but she got shifty and said it was too much hassle to change over now. Annoyingly, she spent a good portion of every night moaning about how uncomfortable the bed was! Take my death trap then you cow.
She didn't want to pay for half of the hotel's rate for daily air conditioning (and I couldn't afford the whole rate myself), so we left the balcony door open when we were in the room, but at night she complained about the noise and bugs so we sweltered in 40 degree heat because of her stinginess.
Same holiday, all inclusive. All sat by the pool, and whenever one of us got up to get a drink from the pool bar we politely offered to get the others something. She was the first to request drinks ("oh get me 2, one for later") but when she went to the bar she never offered (a minor irritation you may think, but it was constant, we all noticed.) Next time I went up I got a drink in either hand and as I walked into her view, cheerfully took a sip from both glasses with 2 straws. 5 mins later she got up huffily saying "I suppose I'll get a drink then!" 1-0 ErrorError!
She also tried to weasel out of paying when I reminded everyone that we owed one friend some Euros for the hotel transfer. The rest of us sat calculating while she remained totally silent and pretended to be engrossed on her phone. I still don't know if she paid.
Other things include:
Borrowing a massive stack of books from me and never returning them, found out later she had lent them to someone else and they hadn't returned them to her.
Overstaying her welcome so many times that she knew when tea time was, and following that, turned up at teatime knowing she'd be offered some (am way too polite) then fucking off afterwards. When I finally cottoned on I was being used as a restaurant, she turned up one day and I purposefully didn't have tea ready or any inclination of preparing anything. She eventually left at 11pm and I was starving but I was finally getting through. I randomised teatime after that.
Asked to come and visit my new kittens, she lived not far away so said she would walk down. I said fine. She brought her dog, a v hyperactive terrier! I didn't want it frightening my kittens but she insisted it would be fine. She was already coming in the porch so I had to hastily round up my kittens into another room. I should have put my foot down but was put on the spot and didn't know how else to react.
On a night out, mysteriously disappeared before her round was due, came back and when I said it was her turn, she "thought we weren't doing rounds", even though 2 others of us had already done ours. She then waited til near then end of the night when most people had gone home, bought 1 of the group a drink. a £1.50 shot.
That's not even half of it but I don't want to hijack the thread. Still mostly peeved about the bacon thievery though! Phew that was cathartic!
