Before you all get excited: no party yet (I was trying to keep when it was vague so more anonymous but i give up) . I have had a message from softzilla.
'So are we calm enough to sort this oot for tomorrow? 'Hmm

I could bend to shaking hands. I'm not sure I could have managed a hug....
So... can you drink the night before a morning blood test?

Do you think you’ll be friends with her after this?

I couldn’t be friends with someone like her, she tried to sideline you, gossiped about past events and texted a somewhat threatening text about ‘on your head be it’.

BullshitometerCalibrator · 12/04/2018 18:53

YoubetterWORK Love it. I need to try not singing it out loud with young children around. Lol And you're welcome for the inspiration. Lol

OP I'm so pleased you avoided her getting you alone. I can't believe she's still trying to get you alone - she's like a bloody dog with a bone. She's barking. She's beginning to sound a bit Single White Female. She hasn't recently got the same haircut as you has she? Shock Just keep doing what you're doing and I'm sure she'll soon get bored and find a new victim to try to validate her nutty behaviour. I hope you're feeling a bit more relaxed now today is over with.

HipHipHippo · 12/04/2018 18:54

Probably best not to unreasonable Cake instead Wink

aaaaargghhhhelpme · 12/04/2018 18:54

Well bloody done! Flowers

I can't believe she was still trying to control you. Asked to talk and then waited for you (to apologise presumably for some invisible misdemeanour). She is utterly batshit.

But well handled. And well done party friends. Glad you were all there

Ahh blood test shmood test. I'd have a large Wine

Mum2oneStepmum2two · 12/04/2018 18:54

OP, please keep us updated - either on this thread or any thread with “Softzilla” in the title - as this is not going to be the last you hear from her. As PPs have said, expect lots more calls and harassment over the coming days/weeks!
Plus it saves me having to get on with my life!

Unreasonableunreasonableness · 12/04/2018 18:54

No. I don't think we'll be friends. That was never my goal after the first soft play visit with friend 1. I just wanted to be able to be civil when we are thrown together in groups which is likely to happen regularly.

Disclaimer. I am not a medical professional! Maybe a Cake is safer.

Save the strong stuff for tomorrow

JingsMahBucket · 12/04/2018 18:56

@Unreasonableunreasonableness please block her number on your phone now so that she can't contact you anymore. She'll keep harassing you otherwise.

CallYourDadYoureInACult · 12/04/2018 18:57

I don’t reckon this is over....

dinosaursandtea · 12/04/2018 19:00

Definitely not over yet. What a CF - those are some real teenage mind games she’s trying! I suspect that seeing her in a group of mutual friends isn’t likely to happen much from now on.

Graphista · 12/04/2018 19:01

Wow! I read maybe first page or so of first thread and honestly thought she'd get over herself and behave.

Unbelievably shitty behaviour! (Except not as I know a few people would do this)

You've behaved with class and dignity op. Hope the party went well and she didn't escalate things.

I too would have taken the approach of quietly letting people know the truth.

She's a stirring bitch!

I don't believe there was any "misunderstanding" I think she made a faux pas, doesn't like you for whatever reason anyway and so instead of doing the decent thing, apologising and letting it drop she's tried to take advantage to try and squeeze you out of the group.

By the look of things if she doesn't catch on to herself she's the one that'll get dropped. People just won't tolerate such nonsense. Especially if there's a risk they'll be the next target of her drama.

Just remember you've done nothing wrong at all!

MiddleClassProblem · 12/04/2018 19:01

She’s such a drama llama. Well done, OP.

NannyOggsKnickers · 12/04/2018 19:04

Been following this all day. Well done for taking the high road. She was quite obviously trying to get you alone so she could spin whatever conversation you had later to her own benefit. She was also fairly obviously leaving gaps for you to fill with apologies- I have fallen for that one before.

Just keep things breezy and slowly forget you were ever friends. She’s now shown you her true self. And it isn’t very nice or supportive.

happinessischocolate · 12/04/2018 19:05

Well done OP, hopefully in years to come you'll be able to look back and laugh at this total fruitloops behaviour.

ooerrmissus · 12/04/2018 19:09

Hang on, have I missed the bit where she aipologised? Cos it looks like you said you hope you can get past the upset, you shook hands and that's it.

You know she'll tell everyone you apologised to her don't you?

PlumsGalore · 12/04/2018 19:10

I'm waiting for part three where party friend says softzilla has enjoyed a meal and expected her to pay for it.

paranoidpammywhammy2 · 12/04/2018 19:11

I really don't understand what SZ is playing at. She's coming across as a controlling, unhinged, nonsensical twat.

Lizzie48 · 12/04/2018 19:15

You coped really well with her, Unreasonable well done for keeping your cool. What strange behaviour. But I do agree that you should block her number now.

YoThePussy · 12/04/2018 19:17

OP, I hope you washed your hand after shaking hers! Watch out for horse heads in your bed tonight. If she has tried to blag a freebie meal from Party Friend I feel she will need to be rechristened FreeZilla.

honeylulu · 12/04/2018 19:17

I agree it looks like she was trying to engineer an apology from you so that:

  1. She could make it look like you were in the wrong to the rest of the group and/or
  2. She genuinely believes she is (somehow) in the right.

She must have looked bonkers asking to talk and then saying absolutely nothing!

Well done OP.

Gemini69 · 12/04/2018 19:17

You weeeeeeeed on her fire..... well done Flowers
