My mom has a friend who is totally rude and i can't stand her.
I need advice, please.
My Mom has this friend who is super rude and thinks she's so polite and can go around judging people.
She once was very rude to me and "told me off" for not sending her a design she was asking me to do for free. She thought it was such an "honour" for me to let me design the poster for her cultural event.
She agreed to send me some inspiration/references by email but she never did and when I next saw her, before I could even open my mouth she yelled at me and said I was utterly irresponsible and she would never work with someone like me.
I told this to my Mom and she didn't make anything of it. I wish she would have stood up to her, but she hasn't got it in her to be straightforward like that. It hurts me but there's nothing I can do about it.
What I'd like you to tell me is what should I do when I have to see this woman. Sometimes she calls on the phone and I'd like to make it clear that I really don't want to have any kind of interaction with her. She's even rude when she comes to my house and starts ringing the doorbell like mad. I'd really like to stand up to her and tell her I think she's rude, unconsiderate and a bully and I really can't understand how someone as sweet as my Mom counts her as a friend.
