I don't think I am?

My friend is organising a charity ball in aid of cancer research next year - in honour of her mum who's had breast cancer and is now in remission.

She's set up a facebook event page to promote it, invited me, and I invited a few people as well, one girl who I don't know that well has posted 'Not sure who added me to this - but can you not in the future. Thanks' on the page, my friends mum has seen it, and has got upset about it thinking they shouldn't have the event any more if it's upsetting/annoying people

ABBU or should the girl who wasn't interested just have ignored the request? I get loads of stuff on facebook I'm not bothered about, I just delete/ignore it, I think she's been really rude

Friend's mum needs to be less sensitive about comments made by random people on facebook.

It's not them organising the event that has annoyed people, it's "being invited to events you are not interested in by people you don't know that well" that has annoyed her.

But yes, she should just ignore unwanted requests like a normal person.

Don't think the msg was particularly rude, just ignore it and move on,

Yeah, I guess it wasn't the rudest thing in the world, but I think deleting it would've been simpler.

Wish I could delete it but I can't.

Your friend will probably be able to delete it.

I'm wondering if she wrote that as she is dealing with cancer in someway? Maybe it's a sensitive subject for her. As for your friends mum, tell her to look at the bigger picture. Doing this ball will raise money for a valuable cause.

I think that whoever clicked 'invite all my facebook friends whether they would be interested or not' should get a share of the blame as well as the person who couldn't just ignore it.

Could be she just doesn't like being randomly added to stuff. I find it annoying and rude tbh. But she probably could have just ignored it so I think both parties are a bit unreasonable. Also many peope don't donate to cancer research because of animal rights issues (I am not going to start a debate on that now.. cause I'm bored of it though) so she may have been equally offended by being asked.
