I will never get in this womans car again, I swear.
She picked up her son, my friend Kiki (I named her after the kitty on here), and myself from the mall. Now I said hello to her, and I don't know if she didn't hear me or if that wasn't what she wanted me to say because she kept saying, "say goodnight." Now I wasn't ignoring her, I thought she was speaking to her daughter who was sitting next to me.
She said I was rude and asked me if my parents taught me manners. Now I don't know about you but I think saying that is more disrespectful than me not saying goodnight.

When you got in the car she wanted you to say "good night"? That makes no sense... You say that when you LEAVE someone, not when you first meet them. Maybe "good evening to you" would be better, but that's rather formal. Why on earth would she want you to say "good night" as a meeting greeting? How strange. I'd say your "Hello" was sufficient enough of a meeting greeting. She, indeed, was the one being rude. confused

Gosh, so weird how older people be rude to kids and then ask them if they know manners. I was knocking on doors for charity, and some guy started screwing at me for not making a real difference to the world and then said I had no manners because of that confused Your friend's mother's funny XD

There are a few people in this world that just make me roll my eyes. You'd think that they'd have common sense and think before they speak, but sometimes... that just doesn't happen. rolleyes

She is a fuddy duddy kind of person. She's the only adult (I won't say person because I'm rude to my friends all the time for the fun of it) that thinks I'm rude. She's never even given me a chance to be polite.
But I'm not friends with her, so I'm not going to break my back trying to impress her.

Hi, C+P! biggrin Haven't seen you here in a while! Glad to hear from you again.
That seems a bit strange... it sounded to me like she was talking to her kid until she directly insulted you like that. neutral Sorry to hear that she said that to you. You're right, it is ruder to remind someone (unless it's your kid) to use their manners than being rude yourself.
Here's my suggestion: If you're willing to apologize to her, do it. At least she can't be pissed at you. But if you're that pissed, then just talk to her. Maybe there was a misunderstanding somewhere in there, ya know? But if she meant what she said, then you can politely tell her how you feel about that night.
That cool? 3nodding

Ello Skoot. -.- I know, I'm sorry, my homework is mean to me.
I had been thinking of that but she had to drop my friend off to the park today, we were all doing and easter hunt thing with the kids, and she just gave me the most evil look that I don't think I could talk to her without starting an argument.
She's the type of person that kind of goes by "my way or the highway" type of thing. And I'm the type who likes to get my point across so all I'd end up doing is fanning the flames. I won't ever see her much so it's fine. Thankies though!

No need to be sorry! We all have our duties.
Whoa, she's still mad at you? Dang. sweatdrop Well, then I suggest stick with what you're doing and avoid it altogtether.
Most likely, she'll move on and forget about the whole incident. But on the slight off-chance that she's still annoyed by you, then aren't you glad you don't talk to her much? blaugh

Now this goes back to the primary reason why I spend most of my computer time ranting with people about 10 years younger than I am.
Most adults my age (and older) are pretty stupid. They think that the way they do things is best and are not open for suggestions.

Hahaha, well I'm pretty sure the other reason she's mad at me is because when my friend Kat and I were over his house, she told us to call her by her first name. Kat said she didn't like doing that, and I joked around and asked if I could. -.- I guess she didn't take it as a joke and she chastised me about it.
=3 Skoot's right anyway. X3 At least I don't need to speak to her. I'd just really like to explain myself in a way that shows her how rude she was, and shows my side of the story all while being as polite as possible and leaving her speechless. -.- But I don't ever see us ever getting in that situation.

Strange....the world always stays as children. I mean, people never change, nor do the systems of life etc.

Just reading that made me feel ten times better. whee Thank you! ^^ I understand what you mean about trying to get your point across, and I agree with you. Hmm, well, what I think might work is just talking to her. Tell her that it looks like she's mad at you. As I said earlier, it may just be a misunderstanding. Then she can explain why, if at all, she's upset with you, and you can explain. But like you said, you don't see her often. You're in fairly safe water right now, so it's up to you if you wanna take the extra step. wink Undertaker Moon Master Most adults my age (and older) are pretty stupid. They think that the way they do things is best and are not open for suggestions. Pretty much anyone is like that. People have their own opinions, and it's up to them if they feel like changing them. If people have differences in opinions, and will not change their own, then arguments form. But arguments are pointless if neither person is actually listening to the other. Then it's just yelling.

You have a point WoO. It is a lot like fight with siblings. You try to get your point across, but you're not listening to one another and often times, the younger siblings feels like they have no say in the matter because no one will listen to them so they go to their parents for power. If things do get out of hand CP, you could always talk to your parents about what is going on and see if they cannot resolve the conflict that is happening between you and your friends mother. Sort of like mediation. Have them be your voice. blaugh
