Regarding the plimsolls/uniform/fake Uggs poster

Options
I'm a member of a Facebook group about disability benefits. Imagine my horror when someone joined the group and posted, asking how much people have paid for uniform! :eek:
Yep, I'm guessing that it's the same person. She posted her list, and even included a photo of the £3 plimsolls. What it had to do with the group, I have no idea. Her poor child looks as though he is repeating his first year of high school though, as once again, he is starting there, with his new uniform of polo shirts and plimsolls :rotfl:


I thought that it had gone quiet on here for a while, but now she's stalking Facebook groups as well. It is the school holidays though...

    Hopefully she won't get onto the school's toileting arrangements on facebook:eek:.

    Yep, they also went on a facebook group I'm on, that's about parents and school related issues. I messaged admin about it, due to my concerns because people were innocently joining in the chat. Admin said they'd keep an eye on it, but there was nothing untoward so far. Following morning woke up to a private message from admin saying I'd been correct and person had been banned from their group.

    I was going to post to say that I genuinely think they need help and I feel sorry for them.

    Then there was tonight's trolling (starting a thread falsely saying a longstanding poster is dead). My sympathy has waned somewhat.

    Unless tonight's troll is someone else just piggybacking on the ugg/plimsolls thing to cause mischief.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    What!!
    That's sick.
    There was a weird thread on here removed today. Looked like the op got carried away with the line between truth/ lies and defending his corner.
    It turned into one of those predictable woman hating threads that make us secretly giggle .
