Or is this woman being rude?

[poshsinglemum]

It is quite funny actually but I think the shopkeeper is being rude.

She has always been really friendly to dd and I and makes a big old fuss of dd. She recently found out I was a single mum as she thought I had a dp.
The other day I went in the said shop and Beyonce's ''All the single ladies'' came on the radio. She said to my dd ''this song is your mummie's favourite!'' I said in return ''well actually I do really like it and I always sing it to her'' (true btw!)

Next time I went in and I asked her the way to the local shopping centre and she said ''What shopping at Easter time?'' I said ''yep- not religiou''. Not her business anyway.

I can see the funny side of her remarks but is she being a bit bitchy or am I oversensitive?

Oversensitive.

Over sensitive.

She is making conversation.

The "single ladies" comment I would find rude.

I am being oversensitive. What is wrong with me at the moment? I'm enjoying my single life too so I'm not sure why I've taken it like that. Time of the month I reckon!

She is probably just suffering from a) general nosiness syndrome, and b) tactless old bint syndrome. She means well, I think.

Goah, that was a quick AIBU!

Gosh, even.

Oversensitive. I can't see anything wrong at all.

That's nothing PSM, you should buy your milk at the shop near me!!! The woman there cracks me up! She's a local legend. People near us compare stories

"ooooh your children don't look alike do they?'

Me: I suppose not.
her: and what's the age gap between them?
me: just over 3 years.

Conversation ends, where she's thinking (erroneously, 'i was right, different dads). I can see the cogs moving.

dc2 has nut brown eyes and curly brown hair and is very olive skinned. She's always trying to get me to clarify their RACE. I must irritate the crap out of her! she asked where their dad was from and I said England. I could see her thinking, crap, shudda asked where the grandparents were from.

She also asked my Dad how his pension was doing, was it worthless now? She asked that with a big grin on her face. My dad said I can afford to buy the paper still. She told me a neighbour's house had been broken in to and she told me that somebody children were ivf (i hadn't known).

she is bored and nosey and you are being a bit over-sensitive. IMO.

maybe a tiny bit over-sensitive , but i can sympathise , there's a lady in my local shop who dh & i toss a coin to go in when we see her on the tills as she will comment on everything you buy = example if i buy sweets for the dc's she will say in a loud voice " oh i hope they are not for you"
lol

There is a woman in our little shop who has had a tact bypass too. Always commenting on what you buy, usually sweets, the 'one' trip a week we make to buy them. I would think the same as you about the Beyonce song though, that is a bit out of order!

before our library went all automated, there was a really irritating librarian who'd always comment really loudly on the books you'd chosen.

I'd end up making 'intelligent' choices and avoid all chick lit to avoid embarrassemnt.
