To be upset that this woman tried to embarrass me?

[Amazona24]

I'm apart of a team hobby, we are competing together next year. I've loved the hobby so far and the team, really like the people in it and no bitchyness.
That is until this morning, I walked in and most of the girls were there and I said hi to everyone. I went to change my shoes and one of the girls who is in the team but also a coach said to me "I've been hearing alot about you" I replied and said oh really who from? She said a girl who I knew from years ago who I had been out drinking with her when I was younger. I asked what she had said and in front of everyone loudly she went "Well I heard you like to dance around naked". I was so embarrassed and thought it was highly inappropriate of her to say that in front of everyone. Also I weren't dancing around naked. I was in a hotel room trying to get my dress off which had got stuck and I had my knickers on. So the story was wrong and she just tried to make me look silly in front of everyone.
Everyone erupted into laughter and was saying what??? So I said that's not how it was I was in a hotel room and not dancing around. She then just walked off.
I made a comment and said I don't know why she felt the need to say that and a few others agreed.
Sorry its long but wanted to give the whole story. Aibu to be upset and the fact she tried to make me look silly in front of everyone?

To me, that sounds more like she was trying to be funny rather than trying to deliberately embarrass you. It seems so obviously put in an out of context way that people wouldn't really have taken it seriously they'd just be waiting for you to shut the fake innuendo/outrage down with the real story so they can all have a moment of friendly relief and acknowledgement that we're all human.

I suspect you just took it more literally and seriously than it was intended. It's a shame the other woman didn't realise and apologise.

She was being a Bitch OP

Maybe a quiet word with her about the prior conversation about bullies, and how she had just been talking with the person who had bullied you, and clearly hadn't let go.

See if she has decided to give it up as a bad job. If she continues tell her you don’t appreciate it and to lay off as you’re feeling bullied - and you know she doesn’t like that given her own experience...

Omg the silly cow isn't worth your water so to speak. Laugh it off.

It was a funny story from years ago your shared friend told her

Getting upset seems a bit over dramatic and delicate. You should have owned it and enjoyed the humour

My comeback would probably be something like, "Oh, is that all? I guess she wasn't around for the really good nights out."

I agree with BoomBoomsCousin. Unless the woman already has form for being nasty I think she was just trying to have a laugh with you. She gave you an opening to tell a funny story, ie getting your dress stuck. She probably didn't realise that you're easily embarrassed. I'd give her the benefit of the doubt here before rushing to call her a bully or a bitch.

Some people are just like that. You just have to laugh it off, though if you can try to get a dig back. For example many people could say the same of me, I would have said I still like to dance naked, would you like a show? Then danced around like an idiot (fully clothed) for a second. If she was trying to be nasty then just wait, one day she will do something as you can make silly comment back.

Christ, how many ‘bitch’ and ‘cow’ slurs can one thread have?

araiwa this person who told her the story isn't my friend. She's a friend of a friend. Who I no longer speak to as I got bullied badly by one of their best friends. I doubt they were talking nicely about me, so don't know if it was suppose to be a funny story. Also her tone of voice didn't come across funny and I'm not particularly close with her. If it was between my close friends I would have laughed and done them responses other people suggested

Next time just burst out laughing and say no not me - end of impact - and quite honestly if you do like to dance naked so what

Either point blank deny or own it.

"Hahahaha what on earth have you been smoking? Bring some for everyone next time you loon"

Or

"Ah yes, the good old days! Trust me, if you looked half as good as I did back then, you'd never put your clothes on either wink wink"

I know it's easy to sit here and say that when a) I wasn't there and b) I don't know any of the people involved, but have some stock replies in your mind for any more random stories she decides to share about you.

So annoying that in hindsight you come up with the best responses! Being caught off guard in a group situation makes me just freeze
