How would you feel if you’d made a friend so uncomfortable they left your house?

Just that really.

Brilliant! Well you have outdone yourself with the emojis. I am sad to say I understood 🍩 immediately as I have had a misspent youth life. Aubergine is, well, you know. And peach is a kind of botty/front botty combo.

🥫 is a new one. In the context guessing it's a request for someone to go somewhere and do something? With an aubergine?

🌭 is new. So this was said to the good folk at MN then? Before a 💃 (flounce) off?

However doing my research on google I've discovered this hidden gem!

Your friends been a dick. There's nothing wrong with what you have said and plus she's the host of this gathering, since when do hosts just storm off and act like a dick over a comment a guest has said lightheartedly and then carry on being a dick in front of other guests. Tell her to fuck off next time.

I love the emoji interpretations .

OP, I think she overreacted and your comment was similar to something lots of people would say in a lighthearted way. Have you texted her to find out why she was so upset? It's probably not you, maybe she hasn't been met with the many congratulations she was expecting and your comment was the last straw.

I just felt a twat when she refused to use the item that she’d asked me to bring over, like I was an annoyance. Told to leave it where I wouldn’t forget it.

Bloody well done staying and explaining @PartyRingRingParty good for you. And you're right, that rejection of the bowl was a bit shit.

Stick around and remember don't post on MN unless you're feeling very thick-skinned.

What's your favourite emoji?

And moving on from puerile emoji swearing (do we have to?) if what you said was just that and nothing more then her reaction is very strange and rather rude. If. It's like you were having 2 conversations by the sounds of it.

How strange. I think so many of these problems (at least the ones on these MN threads) could be solved by people being more direct there and then. "What's your problem? Clearly I've offended you, would you mind telling me how as I don't have a clue?" type of comment. Of course it would also only work if the offended person gave a straight forward reply instead of pretending nothing had happened but continuing the frostiness anyway. Can you tell I have been in this sort of situation ;)

I didn't see your deleted post, but from what I have seen you didn't say anything wrong, OP. You made an innocuous comment and your friend reacted oddly and quite rude. Leaving you in another room while she talked with someone else behind closed doors, possibly about you? Snapping at you and rejecting something that she'd asked you to bring? Is she 12?

She sounds like hard work and rather tiresome and you're probably better of without her.

As someone with autism who often says the wrong thing to sensitive people, I feel your pain OP, from reading the first few pages, your friend seems like a drama queen who can't take banter, she's in a new job now anyway, forget her

I've never understood how the early twatty posters manage to jump on a thread so fast with the special intention of making a harmless op feel more terrible ?

It's horrible the way your friend/colleague made you feel op. And no wonder you wanted to come on here to try to solve the puzzle of her behaviour. To be honest she sounds like a bit of a loon!

Sympathies op.

[quote ToadinTheHoleWithKetchup]@MrsTerryPratchett has it got something to do with center Parcs?[/quote]
I think more to do with The Oxo Tower!

Can we have a thread on what emojis mean please - I knew aubergine (tho thought it was vagina at first 🤪) so peach I also got confused with as vagina, now I know it's donut 🍩... I think!

OP think if you'd have started with 'that's great tell me more' it may have come across better than 'oh no, woe is me' ... just sayin'

But yes friends behaviour was also a bit bizarre

But you were at her house, so she didn’t leave your house. Even so, if you congratulated your friend before making your comment I’m not quite sure why she got so upset about it unless perhaps you have form for immediately making everything about you. Do you OP?

I think the friend made the op uncomfortable after going silent on her... the op must have then left.

Life is too short to tiptoe around people that sensitive OP, it's probably a good thing you wont see much of her anymore

She acted like a dick, not you OP! You were clearly just making a joke and if she was hurt she should have said so properly so you had the chance to apologise and move on.

Tbh I am surprised more posters don't kick off given so many MNetters sheer desperation to find a way to blame the OP and snark at them no matter how perfectly reasonable their OP is.

Op got what it's worth I'm glad you didn't flounce. And yes she was being a spiteful drama queen. And plain weird. I hope you get an apology.

Your friend is a loon. I expect she is feeling nervous and unsure about her new job and your comment hit a nerve and she over reacted. It will blow over, she 'll start her job, you'll meet for lunch and put it all behind you. Don't worry about it, she's just being sensitive.

Oakleaffy OMFG. I am never going to use a chocolate doughnut emoji again. And I've been sending them to my neices (am off to hang my head in shame).

Your friend appears to have taken your comment quite literally.

Did she mishear you ?
What you said just doesn't marry up to the reaction.
