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).

    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
