to be upset that my friend may have deliberately ignored me?!

I was in town today with my dd, had just finished queuing to pay for something + dd started whining that she was hungry. I sat down on a seat just inside the shop's entrance, + foraged around in my bag to find her something.

My dd suddenly said, "There's SO-AND-SO!", (my friend). I looked up + asked where. My dd said she'd just walked past. "Did she see you?" I asked her. DD said she did!

We finished in there + I caught sight of my friend strolling down the road, a way ahead of us.

Just seems strange to me that she should just bypass us like that, having seen us! We were only out together last week with our dc's. Waved over to her at the school this afternoon, (we wait in different sections of the school), + she gave me a cheery wave back so I take it nothing's wrong. Very strange + unlike her!!

maybe she was just in a rush?

maybe she looked or felt rough and couldn't cope with talking to / seeing anyone?

I used to regularly pretend I didn't see people on the way into work as I am not a morning person!

She probably didn't see your DD even if she looked at her. I often walk around in a complete daydream and look without really seeing IYKWIM. It seems a fairly trivial thing to be upset about, unless you think this is part of a pattern of behaviour.

I have walked straight past people, in a complete daydream-looking straight at them doesn't mean that I saw them!

screamingabdab · 26/03/2009 22:18

I am pretty sure she didn't see you.

SoupDragon · 26/03/2009 22:20

I doubt very much that she saw you.

TheCrackFox · 26/03/2009 22:20

She probably didn't see you. I am normally in my own dream world when out and about.

Contact lenses?
I'm a massive gawp at times, and have done this countless a few times.
Give her a bell and say something along the lines of (according to how you normally speak to her) "Ya dozy mare......walking right past us on.......", the gauge her reaction.

I get 'tunnel vision' when shopping, people have started speaking to me and I have been oblivious, it just doesn't register.

She really might have just missed you. Give her another chance.
