To think this is rude and to walk off every time they do this from now on?

[PennyandtheJetz]

I often see a friend, A, on the school run and walk with her and chat.

If another friend, B, comes along, she always greets A, and ignores the fact that I'm there and her and A instantly start having a conversation and ignore me. If I say hello to B she ignores me.

This morning I'd had enough and just walked off.

AIBU to think it's rude and to just walk off each time they do this from now on? To add, I initially introduced A and B to each other and have known B much longer than I've known A.

The OP says at the end of her OP

They are so bloody rude! I would wander off again and the next time they say “oh Penny where are you going?”, say “well I am not going to just stand there being bloody ignored, am i”and stride off purposefully.

@thisneverendingsummer when he DID see this woman, he ignored her and just looked at the floor. Was this under your instructions?!

I told his mother about it that night, and she went loco on him. Said he was the worst husband ever, and needs to treat his wife - the mother of his children - better than this. Otherwise, don't be surprised if she leaves you and takes the kids.'

Where did you get this MIL?

Are there any others available?

(You know she's probably been illegally imported, don't you? MN MIL's are never like this.)

you MUST Ignore A ... then Ignore B... pair of spiteful bitches ..

You ignore THEM them OP

Fuck those pass agg bitches.

As B approaches next time I would say. OK here comes your real friend. I can stop keeping you company now she is here.

I also want pp's MIL that read the DH the riot act!! That's the best post on the thread!!

OP please just disengage from both A and B and play something on your phone. They are not your friends so who cares what they think.

Say hello to A but don't engage in conversation. Completely blank B. Fuck them both!

This always happened to me, I would be in the middle of a conversation & someone else will come along & start talking to the person I was talking to completely ignoring me, I don’t have many friends & I used to get so upset & I would honestly cry when I got home wondering why people didn’t like me, I just enjoy my own company nowadays!

I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to rein in my mouth and by now would have stood in front of them, hands on hips and said “how fucking rude can anyone be, you pair of bitches” but then perhaps that’s why I don’t actually have any friends... whoops! 😬

I wouldn't even bother talking to A anymore ...

Sounds like a pair of users to me tbh.
Your better off without people like those around you.

Find yourself a new friend to walk with on the school run, leave these two ignorant mums to each other.

Sounds like A uses you to chat to till she gets to see B.
Leave them too it, and ignore them on the way to school.

Explain verbally why they are rude and childish

And never go near them again

I’d say “excuse me A & B have I done something to offend for you both to be so rude to me and tbh really quite hurtful?
if you were 12 years old you’d be called masters of psychological bullying” they’d probably be so shocked!

I wouldn't do the whole waling and talking thing with either of the again.

Be polite, say hello to them. But find yourselves some new mum friends.

B is rude with no social skills and doesn't appear to be any friend at all to you if she just ignores you. A is also rude and facilitating B ignoring you. Move on OP.

YANBU. Let A stick B up her back side.
and Make friends with mums who have actually left the playground.

I've had that happen - not only did they start chatting and not include me in the conversation, they actually turned away from me and started talking in that heads-together hush-hush, we don't want her to hear what we're talking about kind of way. I did the same as you and just walked off. Individually they are fine with me, but together, I might just as well be invisible.
Bloody rude if you ask me.

Just ignore A. Don't bother acknowledging. Then when B turns up you will see who she approaches and talks with. If it isn't you, then you'll have the message, and don't bother with either.

I wouldn't actually bother about a situation like this, and I wouldn't post about it on here either, as it's too silly.

I would imagine my child explaining this same situation to me and asking myself what I would advise them.. and do the same!

If this was happening with children it would be counted as light bullying. Regardless if one or both are lacking social skills - which I think OP would've mentioned given that she's known B for quite some time.

Personally I would be civil, drop a polite 'hi, hope you're well!' and get on with my day. There's no need to allow people like this to dampen your day. Take control of the situation and walk away from it.

Walk off each time? How many times are you planning on putting up with it?
