I've just had a remote (she's on holiday with her depressed mate) roasting off Mrs D, and I'm at a loss to understand why I'm at fault

Earlier this morning my mobile rang once then stopped, I was busy under my mates motor at the time, so I thought if whoever it is really needs to speak to me they'll ring again, and thought nothing more of it.
Later in the afternoon the same thing happens, only this time I notice that it is my treasured stepdaughter's number, but again I think must be a bad signal, and if she really needs to talk to me she'll ring again.

Anyway this evening I get a call of the missus asking why I wouldn't speak to her sponging chavness, so I explained that the phone only rang once and I wasn't given time to answer, to which she replied that I was being 'onebelled', and was expected to ring her back. My reply was obviously, why? If she needs to speak to me, do I have to ring her?
MrsD explained that the delightful freeloader had no credit on her phone, to which I replied; she gets a £150 p/m payout from her late father's pension, she's got a bl00dy well paid summer job, and she lives in our house rent & board free Why the **** am I now expected to foot her phone bills too

At that point my treasured other half said there was no talking to me and hung up So at the moment I'm feeling oddly confused, and I'm also none the wiser as to what the chavette actually wanted in the first place

If anybody on here is considering having kids, I would honestly look into getting a dog as an alternative, they're a lot less hassle, and a lot cheaper to run. Plus, at sixteen they're on their last legs, not pestering you for a car and driving lessons

That is priceless

Maybe she wanted to borrow a few quid

ROTFLPMSL Women need no reason to be pissed at you. And not knowing about the 'onebell' leaves you in even bigger **** 'cause your not paying attention to her Chavness.

Cats are easier to take care of than dogs

Onebelled? WTF? Spare the rod, spoil the child

"Remote roasting" - PMSL

SJ_Skyline

Sorry mate but the "remote roasting" and "on holiday with her depressed mate" sounded so much like Sybil in Fawlty Towers! PMSL


Oh I know!

The thing is when you call her back she'll be charged more on her mobile than if she called you..........

ProperCharlie

i'm sensing some animosity between you are your step daughter...

CrisPDuk

I prefer to use the term mutual contempt

TBH 90% of the time we get on like a house on fire, but that other 10% is practically all out war, as much my fault as hers, we're both stubborn gits with short fuses

CrisPDuk

Have you met MrsD by any chance?

Ahh Onebelling

I used that when the boss clamped down on the free talk time on the business mobiles - even though it WAS for business

It didn't half pee him off - and the secretaries

Freak

i dont ring back onebells either.

I hate it too, if someone is too cheap to have a conversation with you, its there problem. Why should your bill increase ???

Sbradley

Hmm, may not be an entirely welcome response, but from where I'm sitting having our daughter is without a doubt the best thing that we have ever done.

OK, so she's a hormonal 13 year old little madam sometimes, but the rest of the time she's fantastic and one of my best mates. Does that sound as crap to you as it does to me? Ah sod it, you know what I mean...

However.

In this case, I think that we're looking at another case of "Women may have many faults but men have only two - everything we say and everything we do..."

And yes, I saw Sybil in the description as well

sti-04!!

quality !!

OllyK

Yup - went the dog route, you can always dump it off down the RSPC if it gets on your **** Answer to a 1 bell?? A 1 bell back

CrisPDuk

Only one problem with onebelling a woman back, at no time are their thumbs ever more than an inch from the answer button, then they've got you before you can slam them

DocJock

Nope. Doesn't sound crap, I know exactly what you mean.

children as mates

scaaaaaarrrrryyyyy

my older sister has a daughter !! 12 going on thirty!!!!!

whn she reaches 16-18 and leaves home my sister will crackup because she treats her daughter as hes best friend!!

children are children not mates.... if my mates were like my kids well lets not go there.. although at times!!!

mine both know at 16 the suitcase will be at the front door and the wild world awaits..(JOKING)

I am SO sorry mate, but I have NEVER cried with laughter on Scoobynet before!!! I really am mopping away the tears for the first time in years - MY99

I hope you get it sorteeeddd

CrisPDuk

Glad it's cheered someone up

Leslie

I suppose you can only be firm with her and tell her exactly why!

News to me - whenever I try and ring a woman it takes an age for them to answer as the phone is buried at the bottom of the handbag, in fact I am lucky if they even hear the damn thing

CrisPDuk

Sorry, I should have been more specific and said a teenage girl or young woman

I must admit I do have that problem when trying to get hold of MrsD In fact, when her phone rings at home and she asks me to answer it, I usually just tip the handbag onto the table as it's quicker

Which brings me onto another point, WTF do women NEED all that **** for, the amount of stuff she keeps in her bag I'd struggle to squeeze into a small van

OllyK

A woman's handbag is certainly where science should be looking for evidence of spacial displacement that's for sure

Rachael

Let me tell you....

When a woman has a child, she needs to keep toys, phone, keys, tissues, some sort of food, cheque book, pens, spare paper etc in her handbag...
When there is a husband or a boyfriend, she needs to keep toys. phone, keys, tissues, some sort of food (tictacs work quite well! )cheque book, pen, spare paper.... AND diary, space for leaflets detailing car bits/stereo bits/computer parts, space for digital camera (or bigger camera maybe), make-up etc.

My handbag may look small, but its a blooming tardis!

BTW, I don't agree with this onebell thing either! And I'm surgically attached to my mobile!

OllyK

But as usual no bloody cash so they can't get a round in down the pub "Sorry hon, I've only brought the cheque book"

Rachael

Ah, but we could put it on our (ever-present) card... we know how many drinks you guys can consume! (and us... if we're not on driving duty.... again! )

OllyK

Sorry didn't see the card on your list !!

And you seem to have missed a few other things off the list
Lipstick - 3 different colours
Various other cosmetics
Perfume
Hair brush
Paracetamol or some other headache tablets
Various mystery items at ther very botom combined with button, coins and several years of fluff and crumbs.
