A "creative" woman is in disbelief after receiving a phone call from a wealthy former school friend who demanded she come to work in her home as her cleaner.
The "condescending" acquaintance, 'Miranda', called the woman unexpectedly and offered to pay her £10 per hour to work for her. The woman was stunned by Miranda's "brisk" tone and her "irritation" after being turned down.
The woman took to Mumsnet's popular Am I Being Unreasonable (AIBU) forum to see if other people found Miranda's request as baffling as she did. She penned: "This person - shall we call her Miranda? She's from a rich family and I knew her at school. I work in Ceramics and she's moving in posh dynamic circles, with a large house, no kids, single - etc. We're struggling artists, but we make do. She rang me up and said, "I need a cleaner" in a brisk tone.
