Dear Deirdre - think my friend's trying to rip me off


Recommended Posts

Wasn't there another thread asking whose face you'd like to slap?? I don't know Rosie or her so called friend but surely she is worthy of a slap, this is shocking behaviour and the friend is taking the piss. Rosie ask yourself is the friendship worth it? Surely not.......oooo I could go on but to what end !

Rosie


you might once have considered her a close friend and she may have charm. But have a look around at your current mates and the various levels therein. If you just met her now would you devote much time to her?


There you go

You are a lying slut as there isn't any charge from the restaurant, I know I checked, so I refuse to put you in a fraudulent position by paying you anything, you greedy grasping thieving tight-fisted slag!


Ps I don't mean that in a bad way.

That's right SteveT


Meet her & give her a back & front wedgie, at the same time shout in her ear


"I charge ?15 quid for each , so were quits now"


Sealed with a Glasgow kiss, then while she's down steal her purse


She'll thank you for it one day.......Honest !




W**F




* oh and "somehow" make her find the link to this page*

Play her at her own game.


Go down and speak to the restaurant manager and explain everything. Then get the restaurant manager to ask his brother to telephone your 'friend' (using a disguised voice) and explain that the bill was overpaid by ?30 and that someone who perhaps didn't attend but paid might be due a refund. Then, date the restaurant manager's brother until he agrees to marry you. Ask your so-called friend to be your matron of honour. When you walk up the aisle in the groom turns around and reveals himself to be the restaurant manager's brother, you can then turn to your friend and scream 'now give me my thirty pieces of silver, Judas'. Believe you me, there'll be egg on her face for sure.

Does anyone else use little tests of character? There are two types of people, the ones who turn up late to a pub, goes to the group they?re meeting and ask if anyone wants a drink. Then there is the other type who arrive, spot where the group is, go buy themselves a drink and go over. That really gets on my tits. What they?re saying is that they?re not buying you a drink until someone has bought them one.


What do you do?

I buy drinks for everyone - and 3 for myself.

I find it is the people who have a bit of money are the worse and it doesn't matter where they are from.

This raises an interesting point. Round-dodging is a fun game that everyone in the group can play BUT it can only be played with very, very good mates. Normally it should be reserved for those friends who you have grown up with or spent so much time in pubs with that your collective beer money is historically so intertwined that even a few tons here and there are going to go pretty much unnoticed over the years.


So sometimes you get lumped with the ?50 round in the expensive bar where everyone orders the cocktails and your sniggering mate helps you carry the drinks knowing full well that he just paid ?15 in the previous pub for everyone?s pints of bitter. Other times you get distracted by a very important phone call when you?re both at the bar buying drinks for 7 people and can?t return until he has got them all to the table.


It can be more fun than darts.

Rosie, she sounds like she needs a reality check for her own good as well as yours and the rest of her friends. Cheating your friends is just low and she needs to be told. Having said that I'm a wimp so I'd get a mouthy friend to do it. Hope it gets sorted out soon x

Maybe I'm missing the point Rosie, but why is your absence such a major issue anyway (apart from the obvious charm, glamour and elan you would have brought to the occasion)?

If there were 19 people present couldn't the 30 quid (if it was in fact charged) have been absorbed by the group at no great individual expense?

I realise that by putting this to the group you risk falling out with more people that your TAF but on the bright side you'd be saving money on Xmas cards and presents and you could put the money towards nice wooden magazine racks from Muji instead of knocking them up from old Daz boxes and wallpaper.

But whatever happens TAF seems unworthy of your time and frienship.

Well said HB (and in English too)! Though I would add that (to my mind) the "friendship must have been on shaky ground to begin with (true friends do not do this sort of thing to each other).

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s
