Did I say something wrong?

[LouLouFromBatuu]

Sat with group of mums yesterday lunch time. One said she and a friend had booked a spa weekend. I said “what treatments are you having”. Another mum spat her drink out and repeated “ooo let’s all have treatments”
The woman went on to say what treatments she was planning and the other woman kept saying “treatments” over and over again. A WhatsApp group was created for us that day and it is called “treatments”. Is this a dig or what?? Have i said something wrong or am I being paranoid? I don’t socialise much so my judgement may be way off.

She sounds really weird. Who created the WhatsApp group?

@Vapeyvapevape Yeah I was clutching at straws to be honest. I was even going to suggest that maybe she just struggled to back down from the joke and kept awkwardly going..... but then figured I was probably giving way too much benefit of the doubt

How weird is that.

You haven't said anything wrong at all. That girl sounds like a right dick.

Did anyone look embarrassed when she kept rambling on saying "treatments"? How odd.

I'm trying to think what you could write in the group to find out why she's being so weird about it. Maybe message one of the other girls and ask what's going on? Or just write in the group and ask what the issue is with asking about treatments.

Tell her she needs a brain treatment

This spa website literally has a section saying “spa treatments”

Reading the other comments maybe it is to do with her thinking the word "treatment" sounds a bit pretentious (even though it isn't) & as another person said maybe she isn't a spa type girl and thought it was an odd phrase to use (again, even though it isn't!!).

Even if she thought either of those things, why the hell would she keep saying the word and then to name a WhatsApp group after it. She does sound like a bully. I'm not sure I'd be hanging around with that group again.

Hope you are ok.

She’s a bully and I would avoid her like the plague.

New (& possibly insecure) person at work, very much the type to ignore anyone she doesn't think can further her career tried something really similar with me recently.
It was the word 'appraisal', I mentioned something I'd had to do for my appraisal & she was "Oh APPRAISAL..." in a really sarky way then mentioned it in some way whenever she could.
I just ignored it & I'm pretty sure she soon realised she was actually making a dick of herself.
I'm polite with her but absolutely nothing more as I have no time for people like that.
Your person sounds very similar, I'd keep her at arms length & ignore the WhatsApp group as much as possible.

She sounds like a fool.

It reminds me of someone having a go at me for using "parboil" online. Ended up showing themselves up.

How odd.
What you said was a perfectly normal question to someone saying they were having a spa day!

Unless theres an old joke within the group involving the word treatments, it just so bizarre.
What did the other mums do when she kept saying treatments?

She's obviously a stupidhead who thought 'treatments' was a pretentious word (even though it's exactly the right word!) and is trying to needle you about it.

What were the rest of the group like? Were they laughing along with her or do they think she's a provincial weirdo too?

It's definitely a her problem, not a you problem.

What you said was totally normal, she's being very weird and rude.

They don’t sound like friendly ‘friends’.

I think she thinks treatments can only be medical.

I agree, ask her why the group is called treatments. Twat.

She's either a bully or incredibly thick - and I'm not sure I'd want to spend any of the time I have here on Earth with someone who falls into one of those categories.

I think it's because you can use the day spa more much less money if you don't have any treatments, you just go in the various pools. So possibly she thought you were being a show off by assuming they'd be having treatments. That said, going to a spa and not having treatments sounds shit, and I'd have assumed the same as you.

She’s a bully. I hate this sort of person who belittles women who enjoy spas/treatments/make-up etc.

I had a “friend” like this. I once experimented with some new eyeliner and she kept shrieking that I was trying to look like cleopatra ( I wasn’t). She kept going on about it on a night out, belittling me. She has repeated this behaviour over the years. We are all in our 40s now, she hasn’t changed a bit. She is now a very lonely and bitter about it, so I guess the joke is on her now.

How bizarre?!

Who organised the whatsapp & named it treatments?

I'd give the whole lot of them a very wide berth!

It's definitely her/them, not you 🍰

Yours was a nice normal question. Their reaction is odd.

Set up a WhatsApp group called 'Dicks', add Treatments woman and her friend, and then leave the group.

Leave the WA group and wait for the inevitable “WTF?” Messages you’ll get from the other Mum’s wondering why she’s being weird.

It’s really not you OP. If anyone panders to this I’d let them all get on with it and give a massively wide berth from now on, it’s ducking childish.

This is the best reply

Op put a message on the group asking if the person who took the piss and called the group treatments realises that's exactly what people go to a spa for?
Silly cow

Repeat whatever she says and laugh lots.
