I'm so frazzled and it's only 7:45

Long story short.....if you were offered a service and it was too expensive and you said so to the person offering.......if they kept saying "lister....it's FINE....don't worry about the cost..." over and over...would you assume they'd be helping with that bill?  Don't get all Nestie mighty with me either.  I know what happens when you assume....would you feel led to believe there would be financial help?    A parent on my team ordered an expensive car service for my girls to go out last night. When she asked I said it was too expensive for us.  She just kept repeating that it was a treat and not to worry about money. 

 

Well......joke was on us.  She paid the tip ($40) while we paid $200.  Our budgeted amount was $100.  That extra money is coming out of our pockets.  I wasn't there last night, the other coach was and said when it came time to pay she vanished.  I am so dumb.

  • I would assume they were paying the bill. 
  • yes, i'd assume that. that's really sh1tty of her.  I would probably mention to her that you were charged double what the budget was, so not to order a car again. If she ordered it- IMO, she should have paid for it. 
  • that's really sh*tty of her. I would have thought she was paying too.

  • I didn't sleep all night.  This woman pulled this *** all week long.  Taking over, giving the girls other instructions from what I said when I was standing right there......know when you are so dumbfounded at someone that you can't even tell them to stop because you can't believe what is happening?
  • Wow!  Are you going to contront her????

  • I think you are def. right, I would 100% assume she was paying, can you say something to her nicely, like "Oh I thought since you said not to worry about the cost you were paying for the service/"
  • I would be sending this woman a copy of the receipt with a note saying that since she missed it last night, here it is for reimbursement.

  • You are NOT dumb at all.  I would have thought the same thing.  Debbie is right.  That was a sh!tty thing to do. 

    Are you going to say anything to her?  She should be forced to reimburse you.  Is this a possibility?

  • I'm dumbfounded.  I love how lavish people are with others' finances.  I am sooo not a confrontational person (IRL) but that might just drive me into confrontation.  Or at least a mailing of the receipt with a lovely little note.

  • I would absolutely have thought she was paying! And not only a portion, but the entire thing! If she is going to push something on you, she should be responsible! I would call her ass now and explain that ad she not forced the service on you, you would never have taken a limo!!

  • I really hope you are going to say something to her, because that is just BS.  I give you alot of credit, because I could never be a coach.  I could not deal with insane parents.

    My cousin is a caterer so when I called to order food from him for the kids baptism he said "don't worry about it" and never gave me a price.  When I went to pay it was $1300!!!  While I knew he wouldn't be giving me food for free, I was so pissed...still am actually.

    I would totally do this too. Don't let her get away with it.

    I would do exactly this and let her know she was way out of line to take over with the girls.

  • Ugh yes I have to confront her....which is why I practically have an ulcer. I hate confrontation.
