Facebook Immaturity

What is it about Facebook? I saw some lovely Santa visit pics on a friend’s timeline ( not a friend in real life but I have bought stuff off her etc) & asked if it was a particular place near us. She just replied ( my name) then “ no”. I commented “ Well you could have said where it was lol”, keeping it light, then I told her where we’d been & that it was lovely. Later I noticed that my comments had been deleted. I started to message her to ask why & to say I wasn’t being funny but she unfriended me! Pathetic! Obviously it’s no loss but I really think she completely overreacted

I always find it a bit odd when people are "friends" with people on social media that they dont really know.
Maybe she saw your comment had a "who is that again?" moment realised she doesnt really know you and deleted.

Any thoughts?

I’ve got a thought!

Grow up.

gamerchick · 22/12/2019 19:02

Do you not think that maybe you're overreacting? Does it really matter?

@dino - that’s what I think she needs to do!

Don't worry about it .
My aunt unfriended me because I told her I didn't want to be involved in her petty squabbles

GiveHerHellFromUs · 22/12/2019 19:09

Her first comment should've told you she didn't want to tell you where it was. Your second comment was unnecessary and probably irritated her as you're not actually friends and she's not bothered about where you went.

firstimemamma · 22/12/2019 19:10

Just delete your face book account op. I got rid of mine years ago and never looked back, it's brilliant! Admittedly it did feel a bit weird at first but I keep in touch with people by text etc and it soon felt like the norm.

Daisydoola · 22/12/2019 19:12

Your second comment was unnecessary and probably came across as rude.

DinoSn0re · 22/12/2019 20:38

No, the fact that you even care what some random person on Facebook (who you don’t even know properly) does says that you definitely need to grow up too. Total overreaction on your part.

NerrSnerr · 22/12/2019 20:45

I think your second comment came across as rude. It's the 'lol' at the end as what you said wasn't funny so why are you laughing?

LonginesPrime · 22/12/2019 20:46

You're overthinking it - she didn't want a conversation with you and tried to shut it down when you made chit chat.

She might have an ex on there who she's trying not to share the details of her life with, or she might be like the MN posters who have issues with friends hijacking their activities and didn't want them to know she went to x place without them. There are all sorts of reasons she might not want to share her location.

You're not even friends with her so I'd just move on - it's really not worth worrying about.

TigerOnATrain · 22/12/2019 21:02

@Bunnylady53 You both sound about 14.

Ridiculous behaviour from both. You acting petulant and annoyed (and being sarcy,) because she didn't give the answer you were expecting, and her for unfriending someone, because that someone was asking them the location they were at, at a particular time.

Why on earth people have dozens (even hundreds) of people on facebook that they don't even know, just baffles me!

Facebook used to be pretty decent, but now it is nothing more than a dreary brag-fest where people show carefully-edited, perfect-showhome versions of their average lives, air their dirty linen in public, and act like young teenagers. It should be consigned to the history books.

VanyaHargreeves · 22/12/2019 21:04

The immaturity might be yours here OP.

I got rid of it years ago.

Absolutely relief. Toxic in so many different kinds of ways.

bigbubbles · 22/12/2019 21:07

She is not your friend. You are a client. Do you randomly contact other people whose client you are?

Bizarre.

I’m not her client. She advertises 2nd hand clothes & I occasionally buy them.

So purely business relationship- you are a customer of hers.

MrsTumbletap · 23/12/2019 10:15

Facebook is silly and results in ridiculous worries like this. She isn't your friend, you barely know her, don't worry about it.

JorisBonson · 23/12/2019 10:17

You're calling her immature??

puds11 · 23/12/2019 10:18

Fuck me! Do you always create drama? Does anyone care at all if a friend non friend deletes them? Christ.

Bunnylady54 · 23/12/2019 10:34

And a Merry Christmas to you puds11! I don’t create drama. I just thought it was off to unfriend me because I was asking why she deleted my comments. Maybe I should come off FB for a while

Sammounty · 23/12/2019 10:49

I deleted my Facebook account 2 years ago and never looked back. Try a break from it

puds11 · 23/12/2019 11:32

@Bunnylady54 your name change has failed. I think you should take a break then you’ll realise how pointless the whole thing is. I promise you you’ll feel better for it.
