So yesterday I checked the mail and had an invitation to a good friend of mine's baby shower. They girl that is throwing it is our good friend's wife. I was in their wedding as a bridesmaid so she and I are friends I guess. I don't much care for her. She is always touching my boyfriend and grabbing him and wants to sit next to him whenever we go to the movies and such.

She never spells my name right!! I have known her for 3 years. I was in her wedding. I have given her cards and gifts that say to: her From: BRANDI yet she stilll spells its Brandy. That is Lee's sister not me!! I just think its rude. i mean I KNOW she knows that I spell my name with an I. Does this bother anyone else?

My boss is constantly getting my name wrong. I think after almost a year of being here, to mix Lauren up with Michelle or Susan is just plain rude. I mean, they don't even sound like Lauren!
People are always calling me Laura, Lorraine, Louise. It grates after a while, they never get my surname right either which annoys me. I'll usually just answer to anything.

When someone's known you for that length of time i think it's bad that they don't know the correct spelling of your name

And as for touching your bf she needs to be told straight!. Can your bf not tell her to stop, and is her husband around while she's doing it?.

I make a point now to be between them. She is always flirty with him and it drives me crazy. I am not jealous but I don't really care for her in the first place. I just thinks she wants to be the center of attention all the time and when she isn't she has to go out of her way to make it all about her.

rosiemac · Apr 20, 2006

She certainly sounds like trouble that one!

phenomsmom · Apr 20, 2006

Its really bad with the attention thing. we were at an engagement shower and she came late bacause she had to go to school for a test. Well she came in late thorwing a temper tantrum. There is a time and a place for that and its not at an engagement shower for someone else! UGH!

rosiemac · Apr 20, 2006

If theres a pet peeve of mine it's an attention seeker. When they go on like that i always think theres something missing in their life

Oh boy, I have a "friend" like this. When you figure out what to do about it PLEASE let me know. I have tried everything. The flirting was a big issue before (and she is married), but my fiance kind of got her to stop that. My problem is that she seems to think we are friends even though I have practically gotten to the point where I have been downright rude to her. She just comments "Tanya must not be feeling well today"

Last week on Friday evening she came over, uninvited, and I just couldn't get her to leave

phenomsmom · Apr 20, 2006

Susan if you met her I know you wouldn't like her at all. You kind of get the idea of how she acts by just looking at her. I could go on and on about how she tries to make everyone change their plans to suit here when she is the only one who can't make an event. The sad part is, most people change their plans for her.

Sorry but I am glad to know I am not the only one with a "friend" like this!!

Too bad Lee has been best friends with her husband since elementary school and can't just write them off. She always asks us. "When are you two going to get married?" When we are freaking ready to and no sooner!! I always want to scream "And you won't be in the wedding so you have nothing to worry about!!"

Brandi,
That is VERY disrespectful that you have such an easy name to spell yet she keeps getting it wrong. Come on, it's not rocket scientist!

My horrible boss now (who has worked with me for close to two years) STILL spells my name "Amey" even though I've told her a THOUSAND times that it's "Amy" and everything that I hand her to sign or email her has my name spelled as "Amy."

What a dolt!

phenomsmom · Apr 20, 2006

I don't know anyone who spells Amy any other way than A-M-Y. Its 3 letters! How hard can that be to get right?

Precisely. She's a DOLT! (and that's putting it nicely!)

Brandi I had a friend like this at school. She was actually my best friend. She flirted so bad with my then boyfriend (my first love of 3 years!) so bad and he didn't stop her. She constantly grabbed his backside and I just used to say to them, 'Just get it on you know you want to' and they just laughed. I did ask her one day to stop because it was so out of order.
Anyway one day I found out that he had cheated on me with a girl, after I found this out, 6 more came out of the closet and unfortunately she was one of them.
I'm not saying Lee would ever cheat on you but if you can, just stop this behavious ASAP. Even if it means telling her she is a floozy and you are sick of it. Don't be afraid to hurt her feelings because she obviously doesn't care about yours.

phenomsmom · Apr 20, 2006

Thank goodness we rarely see her!! There is no posibility of her getting with Lee, EVER. After we leave or they leave Lee is always like, i don't know how B puts up with er. I couldn't do it for more than an hour!!

Oh my gosh, that is so funny because my "friend" is the wife of my fiances best friend since school.

I used to always try to get along with her because the 4 of us go places together a lot. But I have recently given up!

rosiemac · Apr 20, 2006

Can you not tell her straight to keep her grubby mitts of your man. Me being me i don't sit on the fence when something has to be said and would have told her to sling her hook.

Tanya whenever someone turns up on your doorstep like that and you don't want them in, tell them your just popping out or that you can't chat because you've got company coming over for a private chat. I really have used that line before, but only needed to do it once.

lunasmom · Apr 20, 2006

Oh Believe me, I know the name game. "Jenney" is always "Jenny" Or "Jenni" or "Jennie". I understand if you're hearing it, and you go with what you know best, but if I email you or write "Jenney" put that second "e" in there! When I was little I was not allowed to spell my name "Jenny" because what my grandma saw in the dictionary (it was polite though - basically a Donkey's rump).

As for that girl - B had a friend like that when we started dating. Actually the sick thing was I knew her and they started hanging out. After a while I didn't like her. She was had a lot of social issues and was always being flirty with my boyfriend, in front of me. I can understand if your a flirt, but there was just something about her that irritated me.
B finally got sick of her too (she was always trying to analyze him) and stopped calling her.

Let's see....Allie, Ally, Ali, Alli, Aly....yeah, I pretty much get it ALL THE TIME. I don't really have any helpful advice since it has long since just stopped bothering me, but I suppose if it were one person doing it over and over, it would bug me. Especially since it almost seems like she's deliberately trying to be malicious. You're not alone

I hate people like this!!
