Anyone know/been stung by a Bev?

Bev is the worst to make an enemy of in my opinion. Bev is all smiles and nice as pie to your face, talking to you in that singy songy 'oh aren't you lovely' type voice whilst insincerely patting your arm and at the first opportunity will grass you up to your boss/best friend/partner. Then when called upon does the miss piggy 'who me???' and acts the victim to all who will listen. This one is worse than a Wendy as she will turn on the waterworks to make you look evil ð??¿ð??¿ð??¿

Three snaps in a Z, Moomin.

What if Bev is German? Is that different? Only Bev I know is German, and she is nice.

HauntedNoddyCar · 12/07/2014 00:11

Yes my Bev is lovely and this reminds me to invite her up to stay.

TSSDNCOP · 12/07/2014 01:14

Awesome my RL name is on MrsTerry's list.

I don't know any Bevs OP, but I know women like your description. I call them *you fucking bastard" and hope their central heating breaks down on Christmas Eve.

SecretWitch · 12/07/2014 01:23

My MIL is a Bev and she rarely stings. How are you set for Margaret's, though, Op?

alltoomuchrightnow · 12/07/2014 01:29

that's brilliant because the most Bev person I know, is really a Bev! (her real name) vicious bitch

MrsTerryPratchett · 12/07/2014 03:04

Maybe you are my peeps TSSDNCOP. I hope so because your NN is one of the best on here.

deakymom · 12/07/2014 06:36

my daughter goes to school with a bev! she freaked out at my daughter because she wont tell her "what happened" in her past with her uncle dd kept saying there was nothing really there was nothing to tell and its none of her business anyway! so she flipped at her then cried her eyes out and everyone was asking HER what was wrong and comforting HER!

Batmansbuttocks · 12/07/2014 06:39

I know a 'Bev' and it's my own mother. You're right, much worse that a 'Wendy'.

GertieFinkle · 12/07/2014 06:40

My Bev is the first part of the description but then a vicious gossiper rather than a crier. Also staggeringly insensitive.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 12/07/2014 06:42

The Bev I know is one of the nicest people have ever met. Very sweet.

WeirdCatLady · 12/07/2014 07:59

I know a C-Bev and a S-Bev. Both cunts.

The only Wendy I know is lovely :)

CharlesRyder · 12/07/2014 08:03

IME Wendy will also turn on the waterworks, in fact do anything, to make you look evil and or insane.

I don't think Bev is worse than Wendy. Bring me 10 Bevs!!

ScarlettlovesRhett · 12/07/2014 08:26

I am the opposite Charles I think Bev is way worse than Wendy.

I can usually out manoeuvre a Wendy once I've realised what they're up to - but a Bev is difficult. It's the running to people in authority, constant victim, tearfulness (and somehow always being 'bullied'); they're tricky - you have to tread carefully round them, which just enables them more.

I hate Bevs.

CharlesRyder · 12/07/2014 08:30

It must depend on the star rating of the ones you've met.

I can see a Bev forcing you to have unnecessary conversations where you have to justify yourself- very annoying.

A 5 star Wendy can force you into needing a new LIFE though bitter, bitter experience.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 12/07/2014 08:41

Never by a Bev, but I did have a run with a Vikki.

ScarlettlovesRhett · 12/07/2014 09:06

The star rating does make a difference, I agree.

They are both knobbers.

Hope things are ok for you now though Charles, and the Wendy is banished.

ipswichwitch · 12/07/2014 09:12

Am I the only one who thought the op did a typo and thought it was bee not bev?
I came on to post helpful bee related stuff too!

Grumpyrealist77 · 12/07/2014 09:26

Its Christines and Colins for me Im afraid! Wendys do cry ALOT though...

frames · 12/07/2014 09:26

Unlike busy bees Bev's and Wendy's spend too much time causing trouble rather than getting on with their work and in any spare time having a laugh. If complained about to seniors, the usual response is "they have issues outside of work put up with it"Seniors and organisations protect Bevs and Wendy's as they are the types who go to tribunals, or enjoy bev and Wendy's sycophantic behaviour. It makes dream jobs into hell, for many people:-(

Shockers · 12/07/2014 11:38

My two Bevs are both fab.

Having an issue with Ken and Alison at the mo though. Couple of right arses they are.

sharonthewaspandthewineywall · 12/07/2014 16:42

I'm loling at something thinking bev was a typo for bee! Agent yes- my bev bevs everyone. Cries a lot with no need. Takes offence constantly with no need.

i never trust people with names of three letters

BIL went off with one
she was a right beatch

Timeforabiscuit · 12/07/2014 16:49

I knew a bev once, thank god I was so naive I didn't know what she was playing at - nowadays all hell would have broken loose Grin

LiberalLibertines · 12/07/2014 16:54
