Did a b-day cake for a friend of a friend, anyway, two gals were chipping in to buy this for the b-day girl. So, one comes to pick it up and in our discussion, I say to her I am only charging $60 bc this was the first time I used the particular recipe and would appreciate feed back. I then went on to tell her that under normal circumstances the cake would cost $75 yadda, yadda, yadda so if anyone would ask they should say, "She charges $75 for this cake." (they won't be lying, just leaving out what they paid.) She hands me $60 and the cake is out the door. (I know this probably goes against how others operate, I am just comfortable doing it this way. But that is not the issue...) I get to party and sometime through the course of the evening the other girl who helped pay for this cake, thanks me and then adds, "I can't believe you only get $75 for that cake." I say something about how I appreciate her telling people that and not the $60 I charged them. She looks at me and says, "$60??" icon_confused.gificon_confused.gif There was this "pregnant" pause with both of us looking at each other, confused and then the realization that the gal who came to pick up the cake told this one that she paid $75. She immediately went to the "pick-up artist" and asked her about it. The "pick-up artist" starts stammering around and then says something about me saying she was suppose to tell everyone it was $75. Yea, everyone else NOT the gal you're sharing expenses with! Now, I know there couldn't have been any confusion... she paid me $60... ummm divided by 2 = $30. Don't know how they resolved the issue... I just made my exit...stage left. Can you imagine?

Woah...some nerve is right!!

It's amazing how some people seem to have no conscience about ripping people off (even their friends). It's a shame really.

Good story though. I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall for that confrontation. icon_smile.gif
