an ex auntie elsie giving me evil eye glares/stares

[ipad2]

AIBU wanting to go about my daily life without getting dirty looks from a woman that at one point about 25 years ago was married to my uncle.I was in a local coffee shop with friends and she was there on her own and every time i looked her direction she gave me evil glare.I was in town at the shops with my family and she stopped in the middle of the road and again gave me evil glare , i just ignored her but i find this behaviour intimidating.What would you do

Does she dislike you specifically or just her ex so your family in general?

Go everywhere in disguise. It works for me.

Of course, my Aunty Elsie was very easily fooled.

If you are an adult, why not approach her, and ask her?

Send in the Flying Death Monkeys and the Whirling Dervish Ninja Squad?

Have you asked her why?Are you sure she's giving you evils? Could she just be looking at you and trying to work out why you are familiar? 25 years is a long time.

smile and wave

Were you breast feeding in the coffee shop or had you just come out of the disabled toilet, fully intending to feed your children a banquet you'd brought from home?

Did you steal the last highchair and squeeze your 9yr old DC into it?

I suspect there's more to this

Yes I'd do the same as blackout. Once when we encountered an Angry Driver who drove alongside us and gave us evil stares (not watching the road then) I put on my best idiot happy face and waved like a loon. Totally freaked him out and he drove off.

I guess with respect to your situation a friendly smile and wave would probably wrong foot her enough to scowl and move on and, more importantly, think twice before doing it again.

I agree....smile and wave...maybe she thinks you are blanking her?

Dirty looks - I'm sorry, are you a fully grown adult?

Either ignore her or drink in a different coffee shop.

She's not said or done anything to you, so is doing absolutely nothing wrong.

Oi, Worra, what's wrong with breastfeeding in a coffee shop?

Nothing at all Fetch but it seems to cause random strangers to act in an odd manner according to some MN folk

thanks for the advice

Worra / Fetch: Apparently we now need a special 'hut' to bf in a shopping mall. See here.

I'd love to meet some of these people, Worra and Fanny, I've had a pithy report prepared for the last 20 months and never had chance to use it!
