It's a Facebook one...

I am not that bothered about Facebook. I think it's a great medium for keeping in touch with scattered friends and updating people in one go with pictures and stuff. Just so people don't think I'm a drama llama on Facebook ;)

Earlier, I tried to share a video on Facebook and totally failed, and actually shared someone else's picture. She messaged me immediately with "Hi TFT this picture is a little embarrassing for me, would you mind taking it down?"

I'd realised by this point and deleted it anyway, so replied with, "Hey, have no idea how I managed to share your photo on Facebook! Very strange. Taken it down now anyway. Thanks for telling me, hope you're well. x"

She replied with "I don't know why you shared it and I am not [mutual friend] friend anymore. So I can't talk to one of you." I am not a good friend of this woman, she's more a friend of a friend and we have some shared interests.

I thought she was responded rudely, and deleted and blocked her, but then I was thinking about whether I really was in the wrong? Yes, it was a bit strange sharing her photo, but she put it on there herself. In this day and age, posting pictures on a public forum you then don't want to be shared across the internet is risky, especially when you have a few hundred friends and acquaintances on your Facebook?

Aibu to think I wasn't wholly in the wrong?

This is a long AIBU for saying I don't care about Facebook.

You weren't in the wrong and I sympathise as have done similar before with sharing things accidentally!

parakeet · 18/10/2014 21:12

You made a mistake - it sounds like you didn't say sorry.
You should have said sorry.

furtivefeline · 18/10/2014 21:13

What do you think she meant by "I can't talk to one of you"?

Wishfulmakeupping · 18/10/2014 21:13

Think her response was a bit weird and OTT

OwlCapone · 18/10/2014 21:14

You were in the wrong.

You shared a photo you shouldn't have and did not apologise.

Caboodle · 18/10/2014 21:14

YANBU...tis public and it was an accident, and you apologised. She may want to remove said picture from her FB...but once it's out there it's probably out there forever anyhow.
And there was just no need for her to be so rude!

teaforthree · 18/10/2014 21:14

Yes I agree, I should have said sorry, I fired off an email quickly to sort of say it was an accident. I even put a kiss at the end.

She isn't talking to my friend any more, so feels she can't talk to me also.

So easily done. Apologise and move on. Simple error. If they make an issue if it, it's their issue

raltheraffe · 18/10/2014 21:18

I thought you were going to say everyone from Church has blocked you,

roland83 · 18/10/2014 21:47

She sounds like an idiot, you were right to block her. Don't worry about it anymore, I delete anyone that makes me feel like crap.

raltheraffe · 18/10/2014 21:56

I am with roland on this one. If anyone's posts repeatedly annoy me I delete and block.

teaforthree · 18/10/2014 22:08

I text her and said "hi, I really am sorry for sharing your pic, don't know what I'm doing on Facebook sometimes! Have a good weekend, sorry again" and she replied "already I said I can't talk to you now because I'm not friends with [mutual friend] so please back off"

Nice.

MyGastIsFlabbered · 18/10/2014 22:12

Forget her. She's rude & weird.

GetTheRedOut · 18/10/2014 22:17

Well you've explained you didn't mean to and apologised. She been rude and unnecessary in response. Leave her blocked on there, delete her number and forget about her.

raltheraffe · 18/10/2014 22:19

Please back off? WTF...she sounds like a right weirdo, block, ignore, move on.

lornemalvo · 18/10/2014 22:20

Is she 14?

She sounds an idiot, rude and with an inflated sense of her own importance. Why would you want to talk to her?

WhereYaFrom · 18/10/2014 22:23

If think I would text back with "you're weird...but if that's what you want" Hmm

OraProNobis · 18/10/2014 22:24

These people live amongst us and you can't even tell by looking at them. Scary.

gamerchick · 18/10/2014 22:33

Tell her to fuck off you weirdo. Don't put shit on the Internet if you can't handle it.

Or grown up just Don what you've done and ignore the silly cow.

womanofacertainage · 18/10/2014 22:35

Ora

Totally!

CaptainAnkles · 18/10/2014 22:36

I'd send 'I've apologised already for my simple mistake but that doesn't seem to be good enough, so I've deleted and blocked you now. Best of luck to you in all your future endeavours.'

Bluetone · 18/10/2014 22:42

I'd reply with 'Keep your knickers on you fucking loon'

Just the mood I'm in.

OraProNobis · 18/10/2014 22:46

I'd probably say "you are very hard work, not worth it, and I hope your rabbits die". That'd tell her. Grin

CrispyFern · 18/10/2014 22:50

Put the picture back up!
