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???

That's your only response to all that's been posted, op? Seems everyone was right Hmm

Clingy woman was undoubtedly annoying.

Op should not have told her to fuck off. Especially as a martial arts practitioner - self control was a major component of the philosophy when I used to do it.

Op comes across as having very poor self control and a sense of superiority. Playground lady comes across as needy. No winners here really, not a situation well handled on either side.

I'm also an introvert and don't like socialising at the school gates but you do these things so your child doesn't become ostracized and friendless because sure as shut your child is going to end up that way when the other parents hear how rude you are,they are not going to arrange for their child to play with yours are they.
What happens when he gets party invites?

OP, had you said that to me then i'm afraid I would of knocked you on your arse.

Another delight for the back of the police car. Mind your head.

Idiot.

I can't imagine where you live that this would be acceptable!
You've called her a prisoner inmate yet you're the one swearing abuse at her? Awful
