A little background...I am from the UK and in a long distance relationship with a man from the US and we've been together for a long time now. When the two of us started off, we had a mutual friend called H. H lived down the road from me, but my Bear knew her online. H turned out to be something of a bitch and we had a big falling out...Bear actually remained uninvolved for the longest time. Until one day, H decided to send me a horrible email saying how I was a fucking loser with no life (it was very cruel) and that I was pathetic for having Bear as an online boyfriend and that when I went out to visit him the following year, he was going to lock me in his basement and rape and murder me.
Yup.
She said that about her friend, my boyfriend. Who is now my fiance. We're hoping to get married next year. Guess she was wrong, huh? 
Might I point out that Bear did nothing to warrant such cruel remarks (he had stayed out of our argument) and she later tried to apologise to him, justifying her vicious remarks as "trying to protect Rabbit".
Haven't really spoken to her since. She tried to make friends with me after a messy breakup, but she never really made the effort and I didn't feel like bending over backwards for a bitch who called my fiance a rapist.
Anyway, thats not the SC part. That part is fulfilled by her mother.
She comes into the shop I work at and she puts me down, but for the longest time she hadn't come in at all, which was a relief. The first time she came in, it was horrible. I had only been working there about 6 months, and I had given H and mother a bunch of 40% vouchers (why, I have no idea now, I was trying to be nice, why did I bother?) but they never used them. So 6 months after I start, I'm at my till when who should come along but H's mum. She acts REALLY snobby throughout the transaction and says "I'm surprised you're still working here, I would have thought you were going to university." I say how I didn't want to go as it was so much money (this was a few years back, before the fees increased, and it was still too much money) and that I didn't think pursuing art academically would lead to a stable job. This is a pretty sensible reason and sensible logic (as anyone who is an artist will know) and I figured she'd know that as well, as she was poorer than my family and H wanted to go to art school. Instead she just said some very dismissive things about how my parents should have sent me to uni and that H would go to uni regardless of cost and then said "So you're not going to do ANYTHING with A Levels then?" It was quite mean and underhand, and I was glad when she was gone. A colleague of mine had overheard and said she was about to intervene when H's Mum left.
On Saturday, she returned. I wasn't sure it was her at first- I hadn't seen her in a couple of years and she used to have this horribly ridiculous puffy mullet hairstyle nd it was now long and crimped. I did think "no its not her, it just looks like her". Until she smirked at me and said very ironically "I would have though you'd be in America by now, Rabbit."
Her face seemed to be saying "please tell me you and your boyfriend split up so I can mock you." I couldn't help but think that it really was none of her business, but as she was trying to crush me...
*big sigh* "Well...problem with the visa. It's very expensive. But we're applying for it this autumn. Costs a lot of money though, I mean, a couple of grand just for paper work really. Oh and I have to have a vaccine and pay for it out of my own pocket as I'm not eligible on the NHS. But that's commitment for you. It'll all be worth it in the end."
I totally hadn't forgotten her partner had left her after cheating on her
Seriously, why come into my place of work and treat me like that? I have bumped into her in the street and she doesn't say a word, but once I'm in uniform and behind a till, I'm fair game. Stuck up bitch. I think if you have an issue with someone you shouldn't go to wear they are trying to do a job and just harrass them. If you really have something to say, why can't it wait until they clock out?
Yup.
