Or is this woman in my car!

Hello everyone.
Just curious as to wether I'm a hormonal grumpy little shit or if this cowbag is BU?
I pick OH up from work daily. (Not too far, would take about thirty to forty mins to walk, but unsociable hours, and grotty weather up north plus me liking to make sure he's home earlier rather than later so he doesn't wake us all up, I mean that it seems the easiest option!) anyway, he has a colleague who lives about half way home, but requires us to drive just shy of a mile round the back of our village iyswm. She has asked DP for lifts home a number of times, to which he replies "I've got to ask DP as I don't have a car at the moment and she's picking me up!" He then pootles out and asks if it is o.k to which I always reply yes as we are going almost past. (2-3 minute detour) absolutely fine.
But her attitude legitimately stinks this is where I think she's being U:

I have to park about five minutes away and I then walk up to dps work, where I wait. We then all walk down to the car. where this woman just barges past me doesn't say hello or even acknowledge me. Sits in the front seat of my car, (DP always drives as he actually enjoys it, and I do it out of necessity) leaving me in the 3rd row (VW transporter with car seats for DNs and goddaughter in middle!) AND DOESN'T SAY THANKS WHEN SHE LEAVES
She blatantly ignores me when I say Hi/bye personX, spends the whole time nattering to dp, who regularly tries to include me but he can barely get a word in tbh. And she knows it's my car, and my petrol etc.*

So I guess my AIBUs are:
Am I BU to feel grumpy?
Is she BU to ignore me?
Would I be U to give her one more chance and then tell DP to tell her to walk?

Cheers

Atta' girl Grin

She sounds awful. I would stop giving her a lift.

MrsTeller · 15/04/2017 20:57

I hate the bitch on your behalf.

Slightly off the subject, I've always found woman picking men up and then hopping into the passenger seat to let the man take charge a bit odd. Often seen at train stations. I've not saying that's the case here.

honeysucklejasmine · 15/04/2017 20:58

I would drive and see if she tries to make your dp sit in the back.

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 15/04/2017 20:58

Phoebe has the right response

Or is this woman in my car!
Mysteriouscurle · 15/04/2017 20:59

Stuff that. No more lifts for her

HaveTeaWillSurvive · 15/04/2017 21:02

Blatant place mark for the throw down - cannot believe some people are so feckin entitled!

eddielizzard · 15/04/2017 21:03

next time i would drive, dp in passenger and she right in back. and she'd better say thank you or that would be it. no lift if she doesn't say hello.

actually, next time i'd just say no. if she asks is because she rude ungrateful entitled pita.

ClopySow · 15/04/2017 21:03

What does your partner say about it?

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 15/04/2017 21:03

I've nothing to add of use. The pedant in me will permit a placemark to point out its Big girl's blouse not a wet one.

Wet girl's blouse is another thing entirely.

As you were.

NameSame · 15/04/2017 21:03

Apologies in advance to everyone sat with their popcorn. I'm notoriously pathetic so fallout is likely to be limited.

Ffs now my pedantic post is missing an apostrophe Angry

LittleWingSoul · 15/04/2017 21:06

MrsTeller My DP will sometimes let me drive if I'm picking him up but generally i just let him take over as he is a terrible passenger (near death experience on the motorway as a passenger)

Does have the benefit of never having to be designated driver when we go out for social events where there is alcohol!

IamWendy · 15/04/2017 21:06

Start leaving fake used condoms in the footwell, panties stuffed in door compartment, and porn magazines in sight. She'll never step into your 'filthy shag-mobile' again.

JonSnowsWhore · 15/04/2017 21:07

How much later? I haven't got to be up & out all that early tomorrow I could wait haha

LookAtTheFlowersKerry · 15/04/2017 21:08

Rude bitch. You need to sit next to DP and fondle his leg/hair/next as obviously and as often as you can for the entire time.

Missrubyring · 15/04/2017 21:08

How bad is it that I'm actually sitting here eating popcorn Blush
Anyways she's rude and entitled, you should kick her out the car if she's rude to you again.

TinselTwins · 15/04/2017 21:09

She might as well hitch her leg up and piss on your OH to mark her territory

Your OH needs to be very careful around this person!
Even if he would never "go there", this kind of possessive behaviour can turn nasty and could cause all kinds of problems for him at work!

JonSnowsWhore · 15/04/2017 21:09

Yes!!! Definitely fondle!

incogKNEEto · 15/04/2017 21:13

I would sit in the front seat and text do to say you are there. If she doesn't say thank you make tonight the last lift home you ever give her. Rude so and so! Definitely keep an eye on her l also think she has designs on your dp.

ThoraGruntwhistle · 15/04/2017 21:14

'Ah, good evening Crazybitchname! Just one thing, quick question, you do realise we are doing you a FAVOUR with these lifts, right? Because you NEVER say thank you or even acknowledge me, and you barge your way into the car like you own the fucker. Start showing some manners and petrol money, you unspeakable trout.'

Veronicat · 15/04/2017 21:15

Smear dog poo under the door handle Grin

WankStainWasher · 15/04/2017 21:16

Yes yes yes to gluing your butt to the front seat! And for good measure, I would fill the only spare seat in the very back with bras, knickers, what-have-you. Then when she approaches the van just airily wave her to the back with a "Oh don't mind my things, just push them out of the way!" Ooh or do you have a dog? Wet smelly dog towels work a treat too! Grin

Katie0705 · 15/04/2017 21:17

honeylulu Good God. Leave the rude cunt to walk!

This made me roar with laughter...spot on and too the point Grin

BrandMombie · 15/04/2017 21:18

Can't wait to see this unfold! Come on OP we're rooting for you, you can do this! Grin
