A women has been giving my friend glaring looks whenever she sees her. This women walks or drives past my friends house on the school run. This has been going on for a couple of years if and when she sees her.

I saw her earlier walking down the estate, as i was coming home, I stopped my car and got out and called her on it.

Was IBU I sticking up for my friend?

Confused.

Lovecat · 04/12/2012 18:36

So have you been giving evils and if so, why??? Hmm

WildWoodFlower · 04/12/2012 18:36

So when you got up on her grill .Did she get up on your grill?

She might start getting up on your friends grill now you've been in her grill

SuePurblyFeltYourPresents · 04/12/2012 18:38

Nobody would get on my grill. It's a bit mucky.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 04/12/2012 18:40

I have one of "those" faces too.

I find it quite useful tbh.

So, OP, were you giving her mate dirty looks?
Or is she just quite mad?

AvonCallingBarksdale · 04/12/2012 18:42

Before I succumbed to glasses, I used to be accused of giving evils. Really I was just squinting and frowning, trying to make out who was who. As you were.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 04/12/2012 18:44

And are you going to report her?
And if so, to who? Or are you jus gonna get your crew to fuck her up blud, cos it is disrespect innit? And in your endz as well? Nah mate, she needs to be sorted out.

Oh FFS, I sound exactly like ds1 best friend who has actually never been to London in his life but talks like he just came from yard, and is proper with it. he won't come to our house though cos he's too scared a yardie with a staffy on a string might recruit him into their gang

TessGoesDirectToBethlehem · 04/12/2012 18:45

That's what I thought Avon because it happened to me.

A friend's neighbour came running out of her house and accused me of staring in through her window every time I called on for my friend (I was a teenager).

I was actually squinting to see where I was going because I was too vain to wear my glasses!

stifnstav · 04/12/2012 18:50

I need to know what "tops and fingers" is!

TantrumsAndBalloons · 04/12/2012 18:53

Trust me, you don't Grin

Cantheyreportme · 04/12/2012 18:59

Ok, there is a backstory I will try to be succinct and answer whatever q's. Sorry I've just been putting my dc's tea out.

Women A was rallying local resident for support to get the housing developers to finish things around the estate. I was happy to help. I became friendly with her. She involved local press I was happy to have them take pics of the house that they had failed to leave safe (did not do all snags list). This resulted in a newspaper article where my DH and I been quoted (no one interviewed us and things being said I would never have said. I had a prominent job in community too, I would not have wanted this type of info being published. I followed this up and the editor said they had interviewed....turns out it was Women A's niece. Women A avoided me. I realised I had been used. There were other things that didn't sit right about this women but more gut feelings and I don't think it fair to mention them here, just in case.

This was 3.5 years ago!

I pass her house to get out of estate. I don't see hern for weeks at a time but I do give her the evils, she's kniws what she did

Then that women did that today. I was quite shocked. It is a quiet residential estate quite near the school. A parent asked me if I was ok afterwards I was a bit shaken but I'm pleased I remained composed enough to respond quite level, and without getting personal or aggressive.

She was quite aggressive, I feel so stupid as I thought she was gonna ask for directions Ive never spoke to her or noticed her.

The thing that really got me was she said ' I know you are a depressive' yes I had pnd she I know you have a problem, you have depression, something wrong with you' Women A must have told her this?.....from when three years ago?

I think I did have a mild panic attack, I have recently suffered a family bereavement, I'm studying, seasonal stuff etc have been a bit low, so for her to say this was really cutting.

There, any questions?

BupcakesAndCunting · 04/12/2012 19:05

So you do give her dirty looks then?

Hmmmmm.

Has anyone t-rexed at all during this saga?

SantyClaws · 04/12/2012 19:07

stop giving her dirty looks and move on, would be my advice.

MadameCreeper · 04/12/2012 19:07

Have you been giving her evil looks for 3.5 years?

Pinkforever · 04/12/2012 19:11

Evil looks for 3 years?-ffs either move on or confront her over what you believe she did. How old are you all?....

Cantheyreportme · 04/12/2012 19:12

I did for a bit.

But no not for that long.

But I Think her friend was out of order, however if she had come over even after this amount of time, I would still think it odd.

OP posts:
TantrumsAndBalloons · 04/12/2012 19:13

But if you are still holding a grudge after 3 years, then you really need to either address it or move on.

chrismissymoomoomee · 04/12/2012 19:13

Why are you giving her evil looks at all whats it achieving?

The woman who stopped the car was a dick and shouldn't have done it, but you are being pretty immature still holding a grudge to the point where you 'give evils' after 3 years.

Move on.

GrimAndHumourlessAndEven · 04/12/2012 19:13

you did what? stop confusing us, some of us are OLD and cannae keep up with ye young 'uns

SantaIAmSoFuckingRock · 04/12/2012 19:13

what does giving her evils achieve? does it make you feel good? does it change what happened?

Cantheyreportme · 04/12/2012 19:15

I stopped givin her evils years ago that's the fucking point!

OP posts:
chrismissymoomoomee · 04/12/2012 19:18

Actually OP you do seem like a perfectly calm and rational person I can imagine you were just minding your own business Xmas Hmm

BupcakesAndCunting · 04/12/2012 19:19

But has anyone t-rexed?
