...who yesterday sought me out in the playground, and in front of everyone said very loudly, 'The name on your utility bill was wrong'.
I said 'Sorry?' and she said, 'Instead of Ms F M [surname] it says Ms M [surname].
what would you like to do?'
I said 'My middle initial is M. thay have just missed off the F. I'll find another bill'.
She said 'Well it's not really a bill anyway is it?' and I said, 'No, I'm afraid I don't have any bills as we pay by direct debit, I thought a lot of people did' (by this time really, really embarrassed and blushing - everyone can hear her)
and she marches off back indoors, turning to shout over her shoulder, as a parting shot,
'Well, you're here now...'
I think she was trying to imply that I had falsified my address, when in fact the place was offered to me at my old address anyway, which is nearer the school, and I could have let them think I still lived there if I had thought it was necessary to fulfil their criteria - as it was, the place came up mid term and we were asked to fill it.
I can't believe her attitude and was so, so embarrassed. Like it isn't hard enough to fit in
It's only our first week...
(I followed her in and offered her my driving license as proof, which she took and scrutinised saying 'Have we had this?' and I said no, I was asked for his birth certificate and a proof of address' and she said 'It has to be a utility bill' and I said I would see what I could find.
AIBU - I was actually really upset about it and went home feeling very persona non grata there.
