Is this school mum trying to intimidate me??

[WayUpHigh1]

This sounds really weird but I’ve had a few encounters with this school mum now and every time I’ve seen him it happens. Few times outside the school gates and one time in a shop near the school. She seems to be quite loud and ‘out there’. Anyway, she will just be walking normally and then when she sees me she will purposefully come towards me and into my path and block me walking and I have to go around and then she said ‘oh sorry’ with a laugh in her voice. First time it happened I just thought nothing of it but it keeps happening.

Could she be a bully from your own schooldays and is dying for you to recognise her?

I wouldn’t pretend I was looking at my phone or anything like that. I’d walk exactly as I would have done if she wasn’t there and when she blocks me ask ‘why do you repeatedly walk up to me and try to block my path ?’
She’ll either deny and laugh it off or she’ll try and accuse you of being insane . Either way I doubt she’d do it again once she’s been called out for doing such a ridiculously childish thing .
does she do it when others are around or just when you and she have no friends with you?

I wouldn't confront her or stir her up it would get worse as she wants to have a scene. Just act as if you aren't bothered even if you are.

When you see her start to cross the road, can you cross the road so she doesn't pass you? Or is there a different route you can take?

😂 I had the same thought about dancing, dance around her in circles and say "are you dancing? No? Are you asking? The answers NO" then do your best witchy cackle and walk away. She will think you're crackers and hopefully leave you alone.

Sounds like bullying to me.
Rather than standing your ground, leaving it open for her to nastily claim that you* *are oobstructing her, maybe react theatrically. When she starts heading towards you, fling yourself flat agsinst the side of the footpath, against the wall or hedge, whatever, calling out,
" I've left you plenty of space to get by me!"
See what sort of reaction you get, then we'll figure out a response if she's daft enough to do it again.

I have a 12 year old, this is too immature even for him.

This!!!
but without the expectant pauses. Just talk at her about random boring shite. Be a total chatty Cathy and waste her time every time she does it. If she walks away, walk beside her and just keep talking 😂 she will soon start avoiding you.

You can sue individuals. But you’d need some decent funds to be able to do so…

Stop and chat and then about two lines in, say, “Is really like to talk to you about Our Lord Jesus”.

That’ll do it.

Either this or just stand your ground and politely with a huge smile say ‘excuse me’ and wait for her to move!

Ask her "are you OK?" Sarcastically, next time she crosses your path. She sounds like she never left school, one of those ones who liked to bully others to boost herself. She's probably jealous of you!
