Friend poked my hip and said ‘beep beep’

I was standing in a bar wearing a nice pair of trousers with a top and talking to a friend when she suddenly poked the side of my hip twice (my flesh was exposed as my top had ridden up ever so slightly) and said ‘beep beep’. I think it was meant as a sly dig about my hip fat/exposed flesh but AIBU? It made me feel very self conscious and a bit violated. Bit maybe I overreacted?

Violated Grin

Violated? Really?

She was just being playful.

I think it's playful.

What did annoy me though was when I out with a group of women, most of whom I barely knew, someone hung onto my tshirt underneath when I removed a layer. I really don't care if I expose an inch of belly to the room, you don't need to preserve my modesty!

Beep beep means a warning (like when a van reverses) so I'd see it as her warning you that you're top had gone up and exposed flesh.

You can be irritated but anything else is projecting

Was she trying to get past you? I’ve said beep beep before and sort of moved my friends hips as I wanted to get by. It’s meant to be harmless.

Unless ‘beep, beep’ is friend code for ‘pull your top down, you flesh-exposing, heathen slut’, I’d say you are BU.

Not something i would get worked up tbh, sounds playful.

i’m sure someone will come along and tell
you she is a shit friend and is obviously ‘jealous’ and you need to ditch her or something

I also think she was being playful, she didn't say blub blub.

Newnamehiwhodis · 16/06/2024 02:44

That just sounds playful to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

What does ‘beep beep’ mean?

It took longer to write your message than to be upset

Hermittrismegistus · 16/06/2024 02:25

I could not be arsed to be bothered over that.

DustyGrapevine · 16/06/2024 02:24

Sounds like she was just letting you know your top had ridden up!
