I have two recent examples of this and it really annoys me.
A mum from DS's year at school decided instantly that she didn't like me when the boys started in September, and has been unpleasant to me since then. Just things like barging into me, and telling her son loudly not to play with mine. Her son has just had a birthday party, to which all boys in the class apart from my DS were invited. I didn't make a fuss or say anything about it.
I have just handed out invites for my DS's party, to which he's only having 6 friends, and because this woman's son was not invited she went to see the teacher, who then hauled me into the classroom after school tonight because this woman had said that every other child was going and why was her son excluded?! Even if I had excluded her son, which I would not do, she had done it to my child but I'm not allowed to do the same to her?!
Also a colleague at work kept being very hot and cold with me; wanting to be best friends for a few days and then blanking me for a few days, whilst being fine to others, so I made a decision to be polite and professional with her at work but to not be friendly with her any longer.
A couple of weeks ago she asked me one lunchtime if I wanted to go out and get something to eat with her and I said thanks but no, I was busy and was working through lunch that day. She asked me again the following day and I said the same thing, which resulted in her being in tears to the other women in our office saying I was being off towards her.
Why do some people think they can say and do as they please but then hate it if anyone does a similar thing to them?

Why do some people think they can behave as they wish but then moan when people behave the same way back to them?
