ONE mum has revealed the crazy reason other parents never really wanted to befriend her at the school gate.
Making friends is not an easy task – and it’s especially difficult if you have the infamous resting b**ch face.
But for one mum, who goes by Jenifursue on TikTok, the real reason was far more bonkers, as she took it to social media to share the story, Kidspot reported.
“I’m sitting at my kids’ soccer game and the two mums that I sit with are talking about closing the rings on their Apple watches,” she said in the video, which has now gone viral.
“I said, ‘Oh, I don’t really ever pay attention to that because I’ve realised how inconsistent the numbers on that are with the Fitbit on my ankle and so I go with that one because it’s supposed to be more accurate.
“And they were like… ‘That’s a Fitbit?'”

As it turns out, the two mums had a slightly different theory about what the purple ‘device’ around her ankle was – and it was definitely not to count her steps.
Sharing the mortifying blunder, the mum went on: ”They were like, ‘We thought it was an ankle monitor. Everyone thinks it’s an ankle monitor’.
“I thought the parents didn’t talk to me because of all my tattoos, but really it was that they thought that I was on house arrest.”
Chatting to others, the mum came to learn that one time there were also authorities involved which led fellow parents to believe she was indeed a criminal.

“I found out later that one time a cop showed up, he pulled up to the soccer field and he was just there to watch his kids play, but everyone thought he was there for me… so good times.”

Here, most seemed to agree that the mix-up was more than just a funny story – it also revealed a lot about people and their behaviour.
”I’ll take ankle monitor mom over mom who gossips about ankle monitor mom,” thought one person.
Another chuckled: ”Put Fitbit on ankle to avoid human interaction… Got it! Thank you!”
“How do people confuse tiny Fitbits with clunky ankle monitors?” wondered another.

“And also, that’s 100 percent not a reason to not TALK to someone.”
Someone was keen to do some much-needed shopping: ”That’s it. I’m getting an ankle monitor. Headphones aren’t working.”
