Logging into Facebook this morning, to update the month on the resident’s page from January to February and, whoa Nelly, there was Red Light with one of her cryptic memes which I recognized as the beginning of a meltdown.
If this indeed is heading for a meltdown, it would be her 2nd very public meltdown, thought I. The first was in March of 2023.
This is what Red Light does. It’s her passive aggressive way of trying to manipulate people into feeling sorry for her. Like, "Hey look at what’s happening. I’m a victim here".
Only this time, as Red Light transitioned into the meltdown I'd expected was coming, she went from cryptic memes to full on naming names.
I don't know who this Blair person is — no one living here insofar as I know; but, by naming "Beatrice", Red Light is pointing directly at the Baker, "Grace" the Other Wheelchair Lady and "Mari" the complex Manager.
I'm not sure who "Another Person" is but, surprisingly, she doesn't name Talker and thankfully kept my MF name out her MF mouth (see what I did there).
Seems like the Baker, stuck between that rock and hard place as to whether to stand by her friend Red Light or acquiesce to the resident that didn't want Red Light around, made the difficult decision that what the resident wanted took precedence.
Under the circumstances of Red Light no longer being a resident, I don't see that the Baker had any other choice, before the complaining resident took the complaint to Manager, but Red Light is obviously seeing it differently.
That last sentence was a nice try at throwing shade and doubt on the Baker, trying to cause the Baker to consider someone doesn't like her either.
If Manager learns of Red Light's postings, her name included (and she will learn because someone will snitch to her), there's going to be heck to pay. Manager will probably get Red Light's FB account shut down, may even shut down the Resident's page, as Red Light posted all that not only to her personal Facebook page but also to the Resident's page, just to make sure it was seen by multiple persons.
I have it that, though Red Light's new place in Yucaipa is nice, luxurious, near a great shopping center, restaurants, etc., with only 35 units and so much to do in the area, no one wants to do bingo or set up any kind of activity, get involved with neighbors. Seems, she gained a lot when she moved out March of last year, but she also lost a lot — the sense of community she seems to need.
If she was reaching the point of loneliness and boredom to where she wanted to move back here, she's blown that possibility and, since she's burning bridges, she now has no friends just to stop by and visit.
So, anyway, if anyone is looking for me today, you'll find me eating popcorn, watching Facebook to see what Red Light will post next.
Holy guacamole, pass the popcorn!
ReplyDeleteWord!
DeleteFor some reason every time I see Red Light I want to call her Red Dragon, and now that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteThat passive aggressive BS play never ever works with me.
Doesn't look like it's working on anyone around here either.
DeleteGood grief! How old is this woman? 14? Or, perhaps she has undiagnosed mental instability issue? Definitely not what you would see a rational older woman doing. Sigh...
ReplyDeleteShe's only 63 but, with control issues, I imagine it sends her spiraling when she can't control a situation.
DeleteWowza! We do live in interesting times. And interesting places, it seems.
ReplyDeleteNever knew bingo could be so exciting.
DeleteI felt like I was back in junior high as I read her posts.
ReplyDeleteSome people never grow up.
DeleteThis was just so sad. Yes she sounds childish but that makes it even sadder.
ReplyDeleteDon't be fooled by the melodrama. We all get our feelings hurt now and then, no need to burn the house down over it.
DeleteHow sad.
ReplyDeleteDon't be fooled by this showing of her manipulative side.
DeleteWow, I'd be eating popcorn watching the drama unfold too.
ReplyDeleteOld people can be very entertaining.
DeleteSome people have no common sense and/or they have a dangerous habit of inviting drama into their lives.
ReplyDeleteThe more I'm learning about Red Light, the more I'm beginning to see that, along with serious control issues, she's got anger management problems.
DeleteMight want to hire a lawyer for the upcoming slander suits. That would be a cute plan for the emotional manager that runs to her office crying. She would need a different lawyer. Didn't know someone could shut down your FB accounts. Stay safe with the popcorn. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteRed Light might want to remove the posts or shut down her FB page, her own darn self, before Manager gets the cops involved due to what sounds like threats being made by Red Light.
DeletePass the Popcorn. Spilling the Tea, Drama and a Headache she definitely is up to. I've seen folks like this on FB and it's a cry for the attention, isn't it? But when you go Naming Names, it can come back on her since they'll have the Receipts of any Threats and defamation she might carelessly throw out there during her tantrums.
ReplyDeleteTrue that. She's crossed the line with telephone calls that sounded threatening. The Baker got so many calls that she had to block her. She and Manager never got along, Manager didn't want her back here visiting anyway, and now she's given Manager all Manager needs to file a restraining order.
