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?

Woman B is BU today.

Woman A was BU 3 years ago.

OP was BU for the Duration of Evils.

Suggest all 3 get together for a group T-Rex to clear the air on the estate which sounds lovely btw

Cantheyreportme · 04/12/2012 19:28

Think you right there enjoys a fair summation.

Does anyone have an opinion on her use of 'I know you are depressive' in a negative way? As I said it was quite cutting for me to hear that being used against me suggesting that I had a problem?

I have no idea what T-Rex is Confused

Well it was rather mean of Woman B, but then we've already established she's a bit unbalanced herself.

Drop it OP.

Next time you're out and about on the Jasmine Allen estate just adopt the Mumsnet approach to a dicy sitch:

Smile and wave, smile and wave Smile

This thread really DOES have it all

But what is t-rexing??

HairyGrotter · 04/12/2012 19:35

Ooo I love a good grudge, evils and all.

I'd probably get over it by burning the bridge in spectacular style. YABU giving her the dirties all this time, rather tiring and you'll get terrible lines. Cheer up

BaublesAndCuntingCarolSingers · 04/12/2012 19:35

Please do, Tantrums. It is what this thread is (inexplicably) missing.

TuftyFinch · 04/12/2012 19:42

Could you spell out your grievance in seasonal fairy lights outside your house?
That's what I'd do.

Strangely, in that vein, my neighbours have just put up their christmas lights. They spell:
TWAT>
I must pop round and tell them the arrow is pointing at my house. They'll be so embarrassed.

amillionyears · 04/12/2012 19:43

You did bad behaviour to her friend many times.
Her friend was not very nice back once.

Perhaps you should and could write a nice letter to Person A and apologise.

TessGoesDirectToBethlehem · 04/12/2012 19:47

You should wear this OP next time you are out.

There's one for baby too

MorrisZapp · 04/12/2012 19:58

Nobody calls people 'depressives'.

It's unheard of.

Cantheyreportme · 04/12/2012 19:58

i luffs the evils t shirt

Serious, giving evils three years ago has come back to bite me on the arse from Women B. Interesting no one has commented on the use of depression thing and what Women A did in first place.

I think Women A must have manipulated Women B to the point she was motivated enough to do this today, so thats kinda sad really.

I can't thank MNetter enough though, I have had some real support the last few days (under a different name obvs!) and though i know giving evils is wrong but thought what this women did today was shocking!

FWIW, Women A is lucky evils is all she got as could have made a formal complaint about her. Like I said there were a few other 'this doesn't add up' things but I can't be sure.

DH has snorted his way all the way through this thread.

He is now demanding that I find out what T-Rexing is.

Please help.

Cantheyreportme · 04/12/2012 20:20

Ive just googled it, cheeky cow!

Funney, id make sure my nails were long and sharp, and id take the two of them on at the same time Grin I'm younger and i would win, hell id runs book

Go look it up in urban dictionary

TandB · 04/12/2012 20:34

What are you going to do if someone gives you an opinion on her depressive comment?

And how can someone comment on what person A did 3 years ago when you haven't actually explained properly what that was?

Seriously, OP, let it go. If someone wrongs you, you either deal with it or you move on. As an adult, you shouldn't be resorting to "evils" every time you pass someone.

[not entirely sure what an "evil" looks like]

You are all being unreasonable.

Cantheyreportme · 04/12/2012 20:39

kung - just interested to know if other people thought this was a low thing to say.. re peoples attitude towards mental health. I think its attitudes like these that perpetuate the stigma that can be associated with depression.

PERSON A - did you read the post where i explained the back story she got her niece to impersonate me then comment were published in the newspaper.

I have not being giving her evils all this time. it was let go a long time ago. I never see her so this cam out of the but today.

If you gonna reply, please read properly.

OP posts:
missoldPPIlongstocking · 04/12/2012 20:49

OP you seem to be overly focussing on a comment this woman made. This is a woman who thinks it's reasonable to rant at you in the street because you 'evilled' her mate. She's obviously a bit odd, so her opinion on your mental health is null and void.

I really hope you're right that it was woman A behind it otherwise you've been unjustly evilling her all this time. What if it was the journalist who made a mistake or something?

IfNotNowThenWhen · 04/12/2012 21:01

I really think it would be more pertinent to ask : were you or were you not in a car at the time with a man who was doing Toby McGuire?
These questions need to be answered.

Cantheyreportme · 04/12/2012 21:08

missold hmm maybe your right there, given that was the context the comment is undermined somewhat, can see that.

It was Women A, I checked with the editor at the time. I was mortified. Like I have said up thread there is a lot more to this women but as I can not be sure I have not mentioned anything else. Ive obviously name changed, but as the details re houses and newspaper are not your run of the mill - my neighbour etc, i am happy to stand by it even if it outs me under this NC.

I can't stress enough I would not have got through weekend and start if week re other issue under different name if it were not for the fantastic support on here. This knocked me for six, but appreciate the perspectives.
