Maybe I'm overacting but I don't think I am. The other day I was at a cafe with my friend (31F) and I was pouting my lips when she looked at me and said 'that reminds me' and started applying chapstick. I was a bit confused by this but then I realised what she meant and I was very angry. But then yesterday we went out again and I can't remember the conversation but I stuck my teeth out in a funny way and she looked me up and down and said in a smug voice 'I need to book my dentist appointment' and she set a reminder in her calendar. Am I overreacting or is this not on? And how do I approach it without sounding paranoid?

Surely this post is a joke 😂😂

zingally · 03/03/2024 16:14

Honestly, I wouldn't think twice of a friend of mine saying that!

I'm not sure what she was meant to have been "saying" about your lips... Maybe you looked a little dry? Not sure why that's a reason to become "very angry".

You sound like hard work. Maybe stop hanging out with this woman if she upsets you so much.

OP, if you’re really good at gurning you might want to consider entering the World Gurning Championships at Egremont Crab Fair in September. It’s about time you put all that beauty and skill to good use 😁

Everyone on here is so horrible. My first thread and this is what I get.

And what an odd first thread it is

BrightHarvestMoon · 03/03/2024 16:16

I don't think most people are being horrible @zunchie Don't take it to heart. I think they just thought it was a funny OP, and the subsequent posts too! I am sure you're lovely. Don't take the (ruder) posts to heart. It's just a message forum. Look after yourself! But yeah IMO though, I don't think your friend meant anything. Probz just a bit baffled at what you were doing!

Let’s bloodyhope so.

Surely no grown ass woman in their 30s is this self absorbed.

My husband farted in the supermarket the other day. I said that we needed beans, he didn't take offence.

🤣

Rare example of a helpful fart

Why should I have to solve a puzzle to work out what she's trying to say!

She's just having a joke with you!

This is the weirdest post I've read on mumsnet since Penis beaker.

SmashedPrawnsInAMilkyBasket · 03/03/2024 16:50

If there’s any chance this is real, OP: your friend was trying to tell you that you were being an embarrassment, and encouraging you to stop acting like an attention seeking child. Please feel free to tell her how offended you are and how jealous she must be, though. It’s okay, because I’ve found you a new best friend.

How insulting. So because I'm in my 30s I have to be serious all the time and I can't make jokes or pull faces at all.

So is this thread a joke then? I don’t think I get it

Frisate · 03/03/2024 16:59

Does anyone understand this thread? This website is genuinely amazing, everyday I’m amazed.

Threemusketeers80 · 03/03/2024 17:02

Yeah I'd be annoyed if my friend's joking was pouting their lips and pulling weird faces. I prefer a joke on a more intellectual level.

And this is exactly the reason I avoid women with the turkey teeth and lip fillers. They always seem to think they are better looking then everyone else, and should be showered with compliments...

mfbx5sf3 · 03/03/2024 17:02

Maybe stop acting like a fanny and she won’t make
comments on body parts 🤷‍♀️
