To feel frustrated with women who act 'saintly'

38 replies

I know someone who by all accounts isn't very nice. She can be rude, sneaky and manipulative. However, she has a high profile husband (kind of) and she is adored by all his team. She has an amazing job, gorgeous kids, does stuff for charity but is very 'look what I'm doing' and it just feels like she sees herself as a saintly person and everyone around her does as well.
Aibu to think nobody is perfect, that being humble goes a long way and fawning over someone is kind of ridiculous?

So she’s liked by everyone around her, does lots of work for charity and a successful job. But you don’t like her and think she’s showing off?

@felicitybeedle did you not read the OP: "She can be rude, sneaky and manipulative."

LemonSherbetFancies · 26/09/2021 18:28

As I said, she can be manipulative and rude yet acts like she is perfect and that that there is nothing wrong with how she behaves. Just gets a bit old hearing how wonderful she is. And before anyone says it, no, I am not jealous. Far from it. Just frustrating to witness how people fall over themselves to say how kind and giving she is, how perfect and charitable etc.

I work with one of these - on the surface she's a fabulous person, but she's also a back-stabbing bitch. I'm very careful with her as I know she runs to my line manager with the slightest thing.
My nickname for her is Princess Pushy... Grin

Does this mean you haven’t actually witnessed her being any of those things, people have just told you she is those things? If she’s universally liked and successful, could it not be that whoever told you she was rude, sneaky and manipulative is just jealous of her?

LemonSherbetFancies · 26/09/2021 18:34

Princess Pushy, I wonder if she know the same person!

@Carolloveswine - lovely passive aggressive behaviour there. I see you being shitty on loads of threads to loads of people. Bit sad.

It sounds like your info on this woman is all second hand

LemonSherbetFancies · 26/09/2021 18:36

No, I have experienced it myself on a good few occasions.
She has been rude to me and underhand and sneaky in the way she has gone about things when she wants it her way. She is not an honest and transparent person and I feel I need to watch my back whenever I am around her. Despite the image she portrays of being loving and caring.

So she's got good traits, and bad. Just like every other human on the planet.

Getyourownback · 26/09/2021 18:37

Blimey Carol. 🤭

Carol, you just said that we all need to stick together and now you’re trying to rally troops to ‘take down’ another poster? Are you ok? Confused

mineofuselessinformation · 26/09/2021 18:40

@LemonSherbetFancies, I doubt it - I think there are several around!

And with a colleague using a derisory nickname and who is in no way a back-stabbing person, it's unaccountable why this person would need to register some complaints to your shared line manager.

Someone missed the signpost for netmums?

Getyourownback · 26/09/2021 18:52

What has happened to Carol? She’s either leathered or on a wind up.

mineofuselessinformation · 26/09/2021 19:19

@EmbarrassingAdmissions, I've think you've missed your mark there.
As in, if I have a problem that I need to talk to her about, I do. She doesn't.
Does that make it cleared for you? Hmm

Toomuchtooyoung01 · 26/09/2021 19:24

What the fuck does Carol keep saying to keep getting deleted?!
