School Yard dirty looks

[MAM2013]

Where do I start, basically I got pulled in the school yard about 3 years ago and asked do I know this certain girl (let's call her Karen), I said yes I know who she is but I am not friends with her. The girl who pulled me said that she had suspicions that Karen had been sleeping with her husband. I just said that I couldn't tell her as I don't know anything about it. I later get pulled my another person who says that Karen has been sleeping with the girls husband and that it is the towns worst kept secret. I chose not to tell the girl that it was all true as basically it has nothing to do with me and she isn't a close friend of mine. Now since the husband has found out that I know all he seems to do is give me dirty looks all the time. Do I just ignore him or do I pull him as having to walk in the school yard and be greeted with this man's dirty looks is getting abit tedious. Help

Ignore him! Don't get involved

Just ignore him and don't get dragged into the drama

Keep doing what you're doing and swerve the drama.

Jesus is no one going to tell the poor woman? It's the towns worst secret, so everyone knows basically. What a poor woman, everyone including her friends talking behind her back. I'd be telling her that I've heard it's true now and offer support if she needs it.

I would stare him down , whats he going to do , wander over and shout at you about the affair he is having that everyone already knows about.

Just because people gossip doesn't necessarily mean it's true.

Yeah I agree.
A Very Hard Look should do it

There's enough pulling in this story already. If it's all untrue and you tell her what you've heard then you will be the one to get the blame.

It was an "open secret" that I was shagging the NDN. I wasn't, but he had tried to rape me.

Deploy the Death Glare and go about your day.

State back at him until he has enough shame to Look away.

Are you 12? You must be a child in a school yard rather than a parent.

My advice is stop talking shite about "being pulled" and "dirty looks" and get a hold of yourself. Normal adults do not behave like this.

This is between adults in a school playground, did you all forget yourselves and think you’re back at school? Walk away from these ‘adults’ they are stirring shite by the sounds of it utterly pathetic
To think my friend and I chat about our kids etc in playground seems we must be v v boring

Pull/pulling means something quite different in my vernacular..

Oh no, I can completely believe this. The bitching, back stabbing and gossiping that goes on in our school is pathetic. So much so that I am hoping to move shortly!

Eh? It's just a shortening of 'pulled to one side' isn't it? Adults can and certainly do give dirty looks. Adults can be nasty bullies too, and most get away with it because the other adult doesn't want to seem childish and cause a fuss over something 'small'. Agree with the posters who said ignore. Just act like you haven't noticed he's even there.

Stare back (hard) and don’t stop until he gets uncomfortable and looks away.

Why would you waste any time or thought on this?

Just ignore him. It's fuck all to do with you and you don't want to get involved.

Alternatively, you could wander over towards him at some point and say, So...you still shagging Karen then?

But I probably wouldn't recommend that.

Not your circus, not your monkeys. Just idle school gossip. Just keep out of it.

I find the best way to deal with unjustified dirty looks is to kill them with kindness. Big smile, how are you, etc etc.

I once accidentally cut in front of a bloke at a roundabout, he pulled up alongside me at the next set of traffic lights and I could see him ranting in his car. Without thinking I blew him a kiss (but then sat there thinking shiiittttt). He broke out in laughter, I mouthed ‘sorry’ and we both drive off smiling. I know, could have easily gone the other way....

No I am not 12 thank you very much. No need for attitude, I was only looking for some advice and I will just be ignoring him.

Everyone involved sounds about 12 to be honest!

Ignore the lot of them and stay out of the drama

I would smile at him and say "why do you keep staring at me, is there something I can help you with? Then please stop, it is making me uncomfortable. Thank you."
