To think this is not a 'misunderstanding' due to our nationalities

[Hyperhelpmum]

A mother at my international school is constantly mimicking my accent and mocking things I say and calling me posh. I can take that but recently at a party she said to my DH whilst having a fag outside with him 'I'm great at wanking' Having confronted her after she said something else that really pissed me off she claims it was a 'joke' and she didn't mean it. She said she always ' jokes'about peoples accents. She said that she didn't realize English people were so different to Australians??? Do you buy it??? Still fuming.

And I've met a lot of total twats in Melbourne who are loud and rude. Are we even?

rubbish.

my best friend is Australian and she knows exactly what walking means. no mix up there I'm afraid

LOL auto correct correct clearly won't allow me anything so rude!!

Omg this has been a funny read.
"I'm great a wanking.... " how funny.
I'd be tempted to tell her straight, you don't time to give a fuck, so jog on kitty. wanker

I'm an Aussie and have never uttered that phrase in my life.

People can be dicks, no matter where they come from. I've met plenty of obnoxious Brits, but don't tar the whole country because of it.

And I've met a lot of total twats in Melbourne who are loud and rude. Are we even?

You won't even get an argument from me on this; I left the country and have no intention of ever going back.

Australia isn't that different a culture. She's definitely a crude little git. Call her out on it. That's never an appropriate thing to say to someone else's husband

Oh for goodness sake. Did you really think all that behaviour could have just been because she is Australian?

Stoic, nah, just wanted to share the story and increduality.

That was a bit of a drip feed OP. She just comes across as very insecure and in need of your approval now that you have given the full context. Give her a wide berth.

I am Australian, She is Nasty
((((((Hugs)))))))) OP

Do you have to associate with her? She sounds rough as hell.

Is there any way you can stop spending time with her? I wouldn't have anything to do with someone like this.

Why are you spending so much time with her?

She sounds dreadful, I'd be giving her a very wide berth.

How old is your DS? Her comments about him sound well over the line of social acceptability.
