Softzilla returns..... to soft play

Probably will be a boring thread as i mainly intend to continue just ignoring and refusing to be drawn in to any games but...

Guess where I went today? And who I bumped into there? (I really need to find another place to hang out with people! )
Well she was there when I turned up with party mum. We greeted her with a surprised slightly awkward 'oh... hi!' which she returned, but then sat at a different table.
Later in the afternoon when I'd got home she called and i picked up without thinking. She said she wanted to chat and make it so that we could start going to our usual group again - she seemed to be under the impression that I was no longer going. And asked if she could come over right then. I said no sorry as it was time for dinner/ bath/ bed etc for my dc. I also told her that I was still attending the group and that she didn't need to worry about attending, I joked that it's big enough for both of us..... and she put the phone down. I wondered if it was a mistake but she never called back if it was and I don't want to call her.

I know exactly what happened.

She saw other people paying for you a few times, thought you were a sponger and was trying to put things straight.

She thought she was Erin Brockovich but she just made a bit of a boob out of herself.

Batshit Crazy is back, she will not rest will she, not until she gets this 'alone meet up' time she so desperately wants, probably because she wants to give you a piece of her mind in person, and she can then consider it closed because she's told you off, and therefore, has won the argument that only exists in her head.

FFS!! NO!!!

DO.NOT.BLOCK.HER

I have a very dull life

Strawberry2017 · 24/04/2018 21:37

I think softzillas problem is she thought she would control this from the start and it's not turned out the way she expected.
She's continuing the drama where you have told her a number of times there doesn't need to be any.
She's the strangest person ever but I appreciate you took the time to update us! X

jakscrakers · 24/04/2018 21:37

Ignore the naysayers I among many others are thrilled to read your updates and I dont see why you should have to block the damn woman, why on earth should you go out of your way, your attitude is perfect and is riling her up even more let her stew in her own idiotic juice

JustVent · 24/04/2018 21:37

Blimey this story is being spread very thin.

BewareOfDragons · 24/04/2018 21:39

Unbelievable that she is still overreacting in this manner.

She put the phone down on you? Really?

She's an idiot and making herself look ridiculous.

KateGrey · 24/04/2018 21:41

She is utterly bat shit crazy!

Idontdowindows · 24/04/2018 21:43

For all the people that don't enjoy the updates on Softzilla, there's a fix, you have to be quite technically advanced to be able to implement it, so PM me if you want instructions.

Hmm

She’s nuttier than peanut brittle.

Blatherskite · 24/04/2018 21:49

Had to see an ex friend of mine tonight who did this whole 'creating drama out of nothing' thing. It's actually nice to know she's not the only one.

LaContessaDiPlump · 24/04/2018 21:49

OP you are stringing this out nearly as much as she is.

Softzilla called op. OP spoke to her. Softzilla hung up. OP is bemused.

How is that stringing it out, exactly?

I decided not to block her previously as she seemed to be trying to stir up that I was ignoring her apologies and I didn't want to give her that step up (she had told a friend she'd messaged and apologised but no message arrived). However now that I'm feeling now secure that my friends won't buy what she's selling I might if this carries on. Mainly because I agree in some ways with the posters saying this is spread a bit thin now. I don't get her aim in all this.

Ffs! Why can’t this woman get a hobby?!

Banterlope · 24/04/2018 21:58

This gives me something to look forward to now that Brookside has been cancelled

MissEliza · 24/04/2018 22:00

Tbh Op, I actually find it more credible to your story that the problem hasn't been sorted yet IFSWIM. Some posters post about things that seem to be sorted overnight which makes me a bit Hmm.

BrightYellowDaffodil · 24/04/2018 22:03

Been following the Softzilla threads with much amusement!

I suspect she's a bit surprised to find that 'the group' has carried on without her but with you, OP. Your indication that the group can accommodate both of you isn't what she expected to hear; she thought she was Queen Bee (or she desperately wanted to be) and it would be her place to decide who was/wasn't there, hence the putting down of the phone.

She's nuttier than squirrel poo.

Banterlope · 24/04/2018 22:04

STFU FRED CRITICS! Netflixs are watching this, commission imminent

MimpiDreams · 24/04/2018 22:06

I feel a bit sorry for her. Yes she's a CF and yes she's mad as a box of frogs but, I don't know, there's a sort of sad desperation about her.

Figgygal · 24/04/2018 22:06

She really needs something else to do doesn't she

Thequeenisdeadboys · 24/04/2018 22:08

sorry..is this the woman who you treated to a meal after a kids party and she assumed this would be regular occurence.. then got pissed off when you said it wasn't ? getting my threads a bit muddled ! Grin

ReanimatedSGB · 24/04/2018 22:10

There are people like this, though. They don't slink off quietly when they have 'lost', they keep on digging away.

Unreasonableunreasonableness · 24/04/2018 22:11

Yes that's correct. Someone posted the link to the first thread further up.
