to be annoyed about this FB comment...?

DH wrote something along the lines of "feel sorry for Prince william, all that money and his wife still isnt as pretty as mine" A tad sick inducing, I know, but a work colleague of mine wrote underneath "you should have gone to specsavers"
IABU to be a tad annoyed at this? She is being a bitch, isnt she, I'm not just being silly? :(

reads like a joke to me. YABU and oversensitive.

SilveryMoon · 29/04/2011 15:55

Erm, not sure.
I'm thinking of how I'd take it. Is this work colleague of yours a friend? If dp had put soemthing like that and a friend of mine commented like that I'd have to laugh and agree really!!
But if it was someone I didn't much like, I'd be pissed off

Well, really, what other kind of comment do you expect you'd get? It's inviting that kind of comment, surely?

oldraver · 29/04/2011 15:56

Whats her form ?

LDNmummy · 29/04/2011 15:56

Wow what a bitch. Even if she thought it was corny, she should have just left it alone. Unless the two of you have some form of one upmanship banter type of relationship IYSWIM, where she would assume you would find it a little amusing.

Otherwise she is probably just a jealous cow.

SpotsMumSally · 29/04/2011 15:57

I need photos to judge. Your DH is very sweet though and she is very bitchy.

HecateQueenOfTheNight · 29/04/2011 15:57

Yes, she's being a bitch. I do love 'jokes' like that. Hmm If you object, you are accused of having no sense of humour.

He should just remove her comment and say nothing.

Why is your work colleague his facebook friend? Bin her.

Wilfimina · 29/04/2011 15:58

Unless she is one of your very close friends that you would be comfortable with her saying this and know she was joking then no yanbu. It's very rude.

I'd say maybe friendly acquaintance, we're not close by any means. I accept that I may be oversensitive though, am on mat leave at the mo and looking after a few extra pounds!

Hec, I work in a small office so we're all FB friends with each others partners as we go out together often.

Joke! - I suppose it depends on your SOH, but a friend of mine and I constantly engage in that kind of banter. In our serious moments we are very complimentary to each other!

TheVisitor · 29/04/2011 16:00

I think that was actually quite nasty, and I'm not a precious little princess by any means. Hope your DH deleted it.

hmc · 29/04/2011 16:01

Did it have a..... ;-) after it?

LilQueenie · 29/04/2011 16:01

I dont think you are being unreasonable. If my DH had wrote that and had that response he would have deleted them on the spot.

FB is all about the banter ...it was a joke

hmc · 29/04/2011 16:02

Astonished at the fragility of some of you Shock

MigratingCoconuts · 29/04/2011 16:04

HecateQueenOfTheNight · 29/04/2011 16:06

So you all go out together often? are you friendly aquaintances or mates, cos I don't socialise frequently with aquaintances.

Mind you, I don't socialise at all Grin

When you said work colleague, I thought you meant work colleague iyswim Grin It possibly makes it a bit different if you are friends - go out together etc.

If you are mates (or she feels that you are) and socialise, it's more likely she actually thought she was funny. Teasing. Banter.

Unless she's got form for making bitchy jokes? Do you have a bantering sort of relationship?

I still think it's a put down.

microfight · 29/04/2011 16:06

I think it was meant as a joke and should be taken as such. I wouldn't have written something like that. Or maybe she is really into Kate and thought your DH was rude.

megapixels · 29/04/2011 16:06

I agree that it's the kind of status that invites comments like that.

WhiteTrash · 29/04/2011 16:06

It is just a joke. It'd still piss me right off though.

DramaInPyjamas · 29/04/2011 16:09

I can see why you are upset.

This is why I tell my husband NEVER to mention anything about me on fb.
It's as if I don't exist
