To have told this woman I don't want to be her friend?

DS started school last September. I always try and avoid the school gates as I don't want to socialise whilst there but for the past 6 months or so this Prisoner Cell Block H woman has forced her company into me. I just don't like her or want to socialise with her! I've tried standing in different places, ignoring her as much as pos without being totally rude and telling her I'm busy when she asks about going for coffees etc but she just won't fuck off.

Since summer holidays started the school have ran a play group for the little ones so I've been taking DS. This morning she turns up, seeks me out and then starts waffling on about how much her DS has missed mine and how great it is that we can continue seeing each other through the summer holidays. Today she caught me on one of my less tolerant days so I said to her "to be honest, I'm not here to socialise, I like my own company so if I don't seem very friendly, don't take it personally". She said "oh no I'm the same! I like to just come here and then go home, not stand chatting!". I replied "good, well I'll see you around then" and walked to the other side of the room.

5 minutes later she came across to me and said "have you seen how well they play together? Isn't it nice! I was thinking, the leisure centre do a sports club for little ones, why don't we meet up there next week?".

Now I'm sorry but I feel I've been more than patient!!! So I said "because like I told you, I like my own company and don't want to socialise". She replied "but it's not for us, it's for the little ones?". So I snapped and said "why do you constantly say "little ones"? It's really annoying. Anyway can you please leave me alone, I don't want to talk to you. I've tried to be polite but I shouldn't have to keep repeating myself! You're spoiling my time here!". She gasped and said "wow, who pissed on your side of the bed this morning! I was just being friendly!" So I said "and now you've seen my not so nice side and the reason I don't socialise so can you please fuck off?".

She did fuck off but not before reporting me to the group leaders!!! Before anyone says it I know I'm not a nice person but that's why I choose not to socialise!! I'd told her numerous times politely to leave me alone!!! AIBU to think it's her fault we ended up arguining as she just wouldn't take no for an answer???

so this Prisoner Cell Block H woman has forced her company into me

It all went stupendously downhill from this point, OP.

Is this a reverse, btw?

It is clearly 100% your fault. She is trying to build her child's social relationships and be friendly. There was just no need for you to act in this manner.

Passmethecrisps · 03/08/2017 12:21

Jeepers! Poor woman

I wouldn't worry though as I think it is highly likely that you will ever be approached by anyone again. Job done

WineAndTiramisu · 03/08/2017 12:21

You'll probably get slated on here, but I think you were pretty clear about not wanting to talk!
I find playing on a phone seems to give it a good "fuck off" vibe

Buscake · 03/08/2017 12:21

Ah come on, you know that's not reasonable behaviour Confused

This has to be a windup.

ButchyRestingFace · 03/08/2017 12:22

Since summer holidays started the school have ran a play group for the little ones so I've been taking DS.

It is funny that you chew Bea Smith her out for using the phrase "little ones" and then do it yourself though. 😂

fruityb · 03/08/2017 12:22

Holy mother of all things holy.... this is why mum groups scared me.

She sounds lovely. I think I'd have burst into tears and left quite honestly.

WashingMatilda · 03/08/2017 12:22

What fresh hell is this

You're awful.

AndNowItIsSeven · 03/08/2017 12:23

I can't think of any possible reason why the woman in question would want to spend more than a second in your company.

DontWannaBeObamasElf · 03/08/2017 12:24

Wow. Just wow. I talk to people I don't like but have to see often because I've been raised to be respectful.

I hope your children are kinder than you, otherwise they're in for a very lonely life.

HookandSwan · 03/08/2017 12:24

poor women hope she's ok, how awful to be treated like that...

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 03/08/2017 12:24

You are awful.

HTH

SantanicoPandemonium · 03/08/2017 12:24

What's your issue with her saying little ones, when you used it yourself a few sentences earlier?

TvTan · 03/08/2017 12:24

You do know she will tell everyone and add some more don't you?
I think you will definitely get your wish, in not wanting to socialise. No one will come near you again after this.

Fruitcocktail6 · 03/08/2017 12:25

YABU obviously

EdmundCleverClogs · 03/08/2017 12:25

Oh come on, really? I can't believe anyone can be as rude as the op and excuse it as being 'not social'. I'm a total introvert and I've never behaved as such a cunt.

(Reverse, troll, op comes back saying they're autistic, they're genuinely just a super rude person.... what's the bet here?)

EddysWildHair · 03/08/2017 12:25

I don't know where prisoner cell block h came from, I didn't mean for it to be in there.

I'm not being funny but some people are sociable and some aren't. I am not, never have been, never wanted to be. I ensure DS is socialised but I don't want to be a part of it. Surely others should understand and respect that when it's made so fucking obvious from the start?? 6 months I've had to put up with this fucking nut job and I'm tired of it. I'm tired of having to walk around to avoid her, tired of trying to avoid eye contact, 6 months of making DS late for school because I'm trying to avoid her!!! If she just fucked off or latched onto some other poor bastard all my anxiety would disappear. It's frustrating.
