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?

The kind of woman (A) who pulls over her car and calls you on giving evils to her mate 3 years ago is not the kind of person who is going to be unduly bothered about using modern terminology or stigmatising mental health issues.

Love your response by the way. Bet she felt a total knob. So what did she do then? Just get back in the car

Cantheyreportme · 04/12/2012 21:19

Women A doesn't have kids at school. Women B does, hmm.

No I'm going to live well, and make sure I never knowingly make anyone feel how Women B made me feel today.

yep she did, captain got back in her car.

Im pleased i managed to give a composed response. I didn't feel like that afterwards.

You never stop gaining insights into people do you. I sure have been tested over the last few weeks. Smile

I STILL don't know what T-rexing is! The urban dictionary is all sexual stuff! Confused

Cantheyreportme · 04/12/2012 22:10

i said where your arms a like glued to the side of your body and only your hands are free to flap and slap about, is this right anybody else?

T-rexing = once, a poster started a very vague/confusing thread saying "He was t-rexing in Asda and I had a go at him and he stormed off but he had told me to remind him"

There was a lot of confusion and kerfuffle before the OP finally clarified that her DP had been absent-mindedly standing like a T-rex (elbows dug in sides/limp wrists)

Now on MN, if a thread is confusing, you will sometimes see a MNer mention T-rexing or Sharon (the OP of the T-rex did a similar OP about her DP fancying Sharon and wine up the wall)

Yes , you have been unreasonable you shouldn't have taken it upon yourself to fight ur friends battles. There's probably more to this with your friend than meets the eye. Been there done that at 16 and ended up getting in a fight for no good reason.

Your a mother with kids, and how are you going to teach your kids to turn the other cheek if you feel it's appropriate to blast some women out in the street?

Your right to feel shame, because your wrong! And with her baby in the pram....Sad that's just sick.

As long as you didn't threaten her then the police won't want to know. But hang your head in shame lady , you let your self down. Now I've given my 2 pence, make a cuppa and move on!!

Cantheyreportme · 04/12/2012 22:16

thanks baubles - I've been all over that urban dictionary like a rash, it is in there arms into elbows.

OP posts:
Cantheyreportme · 04/12/2012 22:18

y thanks Rachels, it was a reverse AIBU. but you right I've ascertained from the good MNshe batshit and I need to move on.

Revenge is not healthy right?

CheerfulYank · 04/12/2012 22:18

"T-rexing in Asda!"

:o :o

BaublesAndCuntingCarolSingers · 04/12/2012 22:19

in Asda

Now you've given your 2 pence, why don't you read the whole thread Rachel? :)

OkayHazel · 04/12/2012 22:19

You're a nutjob!

That woman probably just has 'one of those faces' - who's to say she's glaring? Probs just looks like that!

Get over yourself!

CheerfulYank · 04/12/2012 22:19

I do remember Sharon...madness! :o

bringbacksideburns · 04/12/2012 22:21

Read the thread properly.

It's a reverse - OP was the one not in the car.

Sigh.

Cantheyreportme · 04/12/2012 22:21

id sharpen my nails and grow them for a longer t-rex reach.

OP posts:
Cantheyreportme · 04/12/2012 22:23

OP posts:
IfYouSeeMeSayHello · 04/12/2012 22:23

Sounds like an episode of Shameless.

OkayHazel · 04/12/2012 22:24

Okay then - car woman is a nutjob!

Cantheyreportme · 04/12/2012 22:26

exactly ifyou, but you couldn't have more of a contrast in terms of area.

these nasty folk can crop up anywhere

MikeOxard · 04/12/2012 22:27

Fucking hilarious! Can someone give Bupcakes a knighthood for services to hilarity on this thread?

OP, if it was a reverse AIBU, then what the actual was the 'can she report me?' all about?

Rachel184 · 04/12/2012 22:35
