Met an old mate yesterday and we were talking about the power of badly behaved kids to ruin “mum” type friendships. Luckily both long past that now.

She said she and her h had been binned by some mates because her H and the other bloke really drunk once , and they think they’d never been forgiven

might be the truth they’ll never know 😂

mine was because all through the lockdowns they sent me messages all about them and never once asked ‘how are you’ or ‘how are your kids?’.

it really struck me as so self centred (at the time) and I couldn’t get past it.

Dh fell out with someone over a Facebook maths question. Turned nasty

My friend defriended me because I got pregnant after adopting my son. She insisted I must have been trying for a baby and had nothing to do with her once she was born.

I ended a phone call with a man on a dating site because he used the word "chuckle".

I had a friend fall out with me over the Sacha Baron Cohen movie Bruno.

She thought the movie exploited one of the cast sexually and she wouldn’t watch it because his family would be devastated.

She couldn’t grasp that a) he was a paid actor and would’ve seen a script in advance and b) his parents wouldn’t know if she’d seen it or even who she was.

Looking back I wonder if she was related to him.

I unfriended a housemate's boyfriend (tenuous friendship!) who went on a HUGE attack rant when I commented on my position on the 2011 Alternative Vote referendum. Turns out he felt REEEEEAAAALLLLYYYY strongly about first past the post. I've never been so personally attacked online and I'm a TERF.

However he can fuck off as I'd had to step over his naked drunken comatose body way too many times trying to get into the bathroom so I could go to work. Feckless twat.

Pink
Most people I knew in 2011 didn't even know there was a vote for AV at that time , let alone take the trouble to even vote !
He sounds delightful ( not )

I unfriended someone because she got the arse with me because I turned down an invitation to 2 days away in Malta of all places, in March, which involved a flight at dawn from an airport miles away. So I would have had to get up at 2/3am for literally 2 nights away. I said thanks but no thanks. She got upset at that. And that seems to be the end of it.

trulyunruly01 · 22/08/2023 20:18

She told me not to shop at Tesco, to go to Sainsbury. There had been previous little gems of advice (hair, clothes, etc) but that one really crystallised my thoughts.
I realised that unwittingly I had become her 'project', I thought we were just Mum friends.
And since I was not the one with the failing marriage, no career, estranged family, I didn't think I needed to be anyone's project.

Weegieunicorn · 22/08/2023 20:28

She kept saying negative things about asylum seekers and raving about veterans needs, support the British Army etc. Her racist ideas unfortunately supported by her army friends.

Pebblesflintstoneandbambamrubble · 22/08/2023 20:40

I fell out with someone thanks to my poor mil about 3 years ago

I met this woman at work-i agreed to do her hair at mine

She used to come over once every 6 weeks,talk at me,about people I don't know and overstay (everytime) by about 4/5 hours-she was a drain

Anyway,it was coming up to Christmas and mil had come to stay for the holidays

This woman banged on my door,demanded me to do her hair (I was a soft fool),sat on my sofa and started talking at us both-for some reason she started telling mil how to walk up and down the stairs (backwards-if mil tried,shed fall down them),where to buy knickers (wish-mil is a loyal fan of m&s) and how to live her life after we lost fil a few months earlier-'get out there lass!' (They'd been married for 50 years-hed been dead less than 9 months)

She stood up,went to my toilet,came back down and stood in my doorway-I'm giving mil the 'I'm so sorry-ill get rid face'

When asked why she didn't just sit down,(by my very polite mil) she replied 'well pebbles,on which seat did you give dp a blow job?I don't want to sit THERE!'

I don't know who was more mortified-me or mil (I adore her,but some topics are off limits-my sex life with her son is so far off the scale)

I booted this woman out and have never spoken to her since

I also grew a backbone and don't put up with any shite anymore-one chance and your gone now

YodaBabe · 22/08/2023 20:43

'Friend' posted on Facebook a spoiler for GOT as she'd watched it as it released at 3am.

Nope in the bin you go.

Italianasoitis · 22/08/2023 20:49

I was fb friends with a nice girl but honestly her FB posts were really annoyingly twee. It was back when people used to describe their weekends like they were writing the blurb for some kind of awful chick-lit.

Cheeky cocktails, glorious sunshine, laughing until we cried, deep and meaningful chats, chocolate fountains, walking home barefoot. What a weekend!

I just couldn't read another steamy pile of cringe and deleted her. This was before you could hide people and I wish I'd done that instead as I do think she was hurt. It was just a spur of the moment decision to delete her as I just couldn't stand the corny status updates.

YungDumbThrills · 22/08/2023 21:02

When ex walked out on us, my ex best friend (we were like sisters) didn't contact me after my initial call in tears to tell her what had happened, until I bumped into her at the supermarket 3 months later. She didn't ask how DS (her god son) were, how we had coped etc, and just told me about the awful time she had been having because her mother had broken her arm Hmm Baffled wasn't the word. In hindsight I can see that the last few years she had become more and more self centred, and rarely asked about us, and just talked about her own issues whenever we met up. Sadly, I miss her kids, but not her!

RenoDakota · 22/08/2023 21:02

An ex work colleague who is one of those who changes her profile picture for every single cause / anniversary of sad event etc that comes along. Also gushes about her 'fur babies' and says Vale (insert name) when someone newsworthy dies. Not Australian.

yogasaurus · 22/08/2023 21:05

I used to work with someone who would ‘mark themselves as safe’ on Facebook for every possible event, even if they lived 100 miles away.

Unfriended.

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 22/08/2023 21:09

They kept adding a 'd' on the end of Matalan like it was some kind of cheap polyester theme park.

They asked a question about suitable electric guitars for learning on and the best way to learn, I responded. Got told actually, their sister's boyfriend knew about this sort of thing what with Being In The Music Business so they were going to go with his recommendations (largely 'spend £4 grand on a guitar that weighs an absolute fucking ton when this is a six and a half stone kid who will mostly likely topple forwards and faceplant into the carpet the first time she stands up with it. And then look at videos on YouTube')

I mean, great, but this was literally my day job at the time. And DP was travelling around the Caribbean on tour with his band, so had taken a break from the teaching. Sister's boyfriend, however, unlike me, was In The Music Business. What could a mere professional tutor know compared to a knob with a shitty pub and a Spotify subscription for Saturday nights?

So I unfriended. Can't be arsed with that shit.

smooththecat · 22/08/2023 21:31

It crossed my mind to defriend someone because of astrology shit, but I’ve humoured it for years so I won’t let it go beyond being a bit of a nasty thought. But seriously, I can’t deal and there’s also lots of talk of supplements. I never show any interest.

Malbecfan · 22/08/2023 21:43

Unfriended someone over her blinkered view that Harry Kane is the best ever England footballer. He wasn't even the best at Spurs IMHO. Having watched him in person play (poorly) against my team earlier that season, I disagreed with her, pointing out other England players who had performed far better in the match she was salivating over. One of these played for my team, the other 3 for rivals, so I was trying to be objective. She responded with "Malbecfan, you haven't got a clue about football." Stupid idiot, I know as much as anyone. I can explain the offside rule and have coached teams at school.

I do not miss her inarticulate and utterly biased ramblings in the slightest.
