To have smiled sweetly and said nothing to this school bully

[DrinkFromMyFountain]

14 years ago I left school. There was one girl who made my life hell, said a load of nasty things about me and told me I would never amount to anything. She also said I'd end up single and Childless at 30 working in a shop. (NB I see nothing wrong with this, but it was meant in a horrible, nasty, put downy way). This was amongst various other things she said and did to try to make my life a misery.

This morning I took my car to the car wash and saw her working there washing cars.

I ordered my car wash for my naice car with my baby DS in the back and said "fancy seeing you here". She made a grimace of a face and carried on with her work.

Karma you beauty.

Would you like some soothing music and a foot rub Olivia, whilst you dream of Bombay Sapphire?

What a bunch of lunatics on this thread!

I think this describes what has just happened here nicely.

It's all gone a bit pete tong

No, I've not been bullied, but thank you for caring. Neither have I flounced, I've been busy with renovations on my house. But a friend of mine was bullied at school, and I absolutely cannot stand bullying, and I will always call on it.

People need to think more about how their words and actions affect others.

This thread has been very hurtful and sad making to a wide assortment of people.

Goodness, the gang's all here, isn't it?

ABF , I think you missed a comma. World of difference between 'no harm done' and 'no, harm done'. The latter looks very much unresolved to me.

I noticed that but didn't comment, I think it was STDG that said it.

I'm so glad you've realised now. I'll go back to the occasional lurk, would want you to think I'm pissy with you. :)

No, I know SDTG said it. ABF said she thought things were resolved between them before all this hoo-ha, presumably based on that, SDTG's last remark.
I thought not.

Why the face?
Seems clear enough to me

Sue, STDG said it before I first said I thought they had resolved things, ABF said it again later on, hence her face.

About two pages back.

Sorry, the face was because I thought you were saying I had wrote that. I'm not sure why you're jumping on me tbh. I misread a comment - it happens. I'm sorry if SDTG is upset.

How kind you are, so thoughtful of others, if only everyone was so caring :)

I'll keep popping back in, I wouldn't want anyone thinking I'd flounced. Toodlepip dude

Oh hell I suspect some sarcasm. Yes I am actually like to think I am rather kind and thoughtful and genuinely hope SDTG is not too upset. Like I said, misread a comment, saw later comments about it being resolved and assumed it was.

I,am a bit that on a thread about bullying, where nerves might be raw, someone would comment on someone else's punctuation.

My SIL is like that bully. She said I'd be divorced from her brother within a year of getting married & end up childless nearing 40.

She will.be 40 in a few months, childless & nowhere near getting married.

I have got 2 kids, still married and thanking my lucky stars every day.

Thanks, ABF. I admit, my comment was a bit haiku.

Anyhow - shall we get back to the main subject of the thread now?

Like I said - I think the schadenfreude people are expressing is coming from the hurt, victimised child they were when the bullying happened - and I think that makes it very understandable.
