Similar-ish thing happened to me a few years ago. I was visiting my home town and went shopping with a friend. It was freezing, so we decided to pop into the local bakery for a takeaway coffee (sadly no posh coffee shops where I live lol). It just so happened that the girl behind the counter was one of the nastiest witches who made my life an absolute misery at school. She pretended not to know me but when I got outside and drank my coffee, it was disgusting. My friends was fine, but she took one sip of mine and gagged. The bully had obviously decided to 'get back' at me by making a nasty coffee ...

I threw the coffee in the nearest bin and walked on - tbh I found it more amusing than upsetting. You can't really be annoyed at someone who is such a pathetic excuse for an adult. I didn't let it worry me and OP, you shouldn't let what this woman said worry you either. She's either really dense and didn't get what she was saying, or she's really immature and thought that you were still both in the playground. As I said, you have to pity someone like that and you shouldn't let it bother you.

School was a loooong time ago. And I'll bet the women close to that nasty piece of work are willing her to remember that!

She made a fool out of herself. That's for her to figure out and come to terms with.

Everything else, all the fun of Halloween, all the thoughtful work you put into it, is yours tonight!
You FTW!

It sounds to me like she is a green eyed monster. She was jealous of you when you were a kid and she is jealous of you now. I would actually be pleased as she inadvertently complimented you on your look and it sounds a lovely combination x

She is either extremely thick or extremely nasty, but probably a mixture of the two.

I love the sound of your halloween treats, the best thing my children received was some quality street in a black sandwich bag,which I thought was a fab, simple idea although I have no idea where you buy black sandwich bags.

miss_independent you sound like a fantastic person,certainly worth a million of this horrible woman - it sounds like you had a lucky escape by not being allowed to play with her!!

I spent the early evening making up really sweet little gift wrapped packages with cool Halloween stuff for the Trick or Treaters - lots of the mums commented on how lovely they are and the kids got really excited when they saw how sparkly they were and they are filled with cool things like popping candy etc. So sweet little deed for the day done.

This is how karma paid me back. I answer the door to a girl I went to school with, from the year above, and she had her kids with her and some other mums, some whom I went school with. This girl was pretty nasty to me growing up, I really looked up to her as she was clever and pretty and I'd always be nice to her as she was my cousins best friend too. When I was around 9 I just wanted to play with her and my cousin when I was at my Grandparents but she always excluded me. As a teenager she would say I was fat (I was 7 stone) and humiliate me whenever I got dressed up for a party. You get the picture, she was not very nice and I was a mug. So I open the door, we make small talk and she says " you look so good in your witches costume by the way. It's so different. Where did you get it?"

This is probably the point I should mention I'm not wearing a costume. the other mums looked embarrassed.

"it's not a witches costume," I say.

"Oh, sorry, I mean your vampire costume. Or, wait! No, sorry, your bat costume! I didn't realise at first that you were a bat."

By this point, I wanted to disappear under the floor. One of the other mums started to tug her and try to whisper to her but she just stood there looking at me head to toe, looking puzzled.

I told her, "this isn't a costume, this is just what I'm wearing today." She didn't even apologise or look embarrassed. The other mums were looking on horrified at her and started to move on, thanking me profusely for the parcels.

I feel a bit put out. I am wearing a cream and navy lace tunic top, leggings and cream shoes - I don't see how I could be mistaken for a witch but it seemed genuine on her behalf. I feel really paranoid now, like I look like a Halloween character on a daily basis or something!

This is what Bridget Jones would describe as jellyfishing - saying something that sounds nice but is in fact an insult.

She must be terribly unhappy.

What a cow! Obviously hasn't moved on from school. Emotional maturity...I don't think so.

Maybe karma is working? She was obviously with friends who now know what she's really like - payback for all the times she was nasty to you at school.

You are the better person...don't let her occupy even a microsecond of your time.

so glad to hear you didnt stoop to her mental age and say 'wha'eva minga'!! she sounds like she is stuck in the past!

The childish bit of me would want to make some "adults only" alcoholic laxative chocolate ready for when she calls next year :stirpot:

She probably bullies and manipulates her current friends, people like that rarely change, methinks you had a lucky escape xx

Your serenity in the face of blind stupidity does you credit - karma says give people enough rope and it worked in this case....

Rise above it, ALWAYS, and let fate manage the b*ggers
