...in a laughing my head off at the sheer cheek of it kind of way?!

Ok so a colleague defriended me on fb, not all of our group of colleagues, just me and one other. Genuinely couldn't give a monkey's-I go to work to do my job and although I have some really good friends there, I'm not there to socialise. I just keep myself to myself pretty much other than having lunch with the same close colleagues every day etc. This colleague hasn't been doing his job properly for a while and keeps getting caught out and pulled up for it so is not very happy at work at the moment and seems to feel it is other people's fault for pulling him up on it and not his for failing to do his job from what I hear of his complaints to other colleagues etc. I have genuinely no idea what I've done to offend him though and really am not interested-have no intention of mentioning it at all or anything.

However...the day after I found out about 'fb gate' Grin, I had a birthday and made some deliciously yummy cakes to take in (if I do say so myself!) , as we all do when it's our birthday.

Can you believe the cheek of my ex-fb-friend colleague waltzing in, and taking not just one, but two big cupcakes, exclaiming how delicious they were, then wandering out again with a breezy, 'see you later' (not so much as a 'thank you'!)

I had a good laugh with my friend-friends about it but AIBU to have wanted to shove his face in the frosting and take a pic of his buttercreamy un-fb-friendly face for his fb profile?! Grin

To be fair he might have been having a friend clear out and deleting people he doesn't view as close friends rather than meaning it as a snub. Sometimes I get the urge to claw back a bit of privacy but don't want to offend random ex school friends and friends of friends I added or accepted on a whim after a hen do or whatever. Nothing personal and would still eat their cake if offered!

I agree with longest he could quite simply have decided that he only wants close friends and family on his Facebook. His waltzing in bright and breezy could have been his way of making you sure he doesn't actually have a problem with you or dislike you. Facebook stinks Angry

I hear you both but this one's a definite snub. The lucky few who remain are certainly no friendlier with him than I am-we all work closely together as a team and although he has his own 2 closer friends within the team, the rest of us are all just work colleagues. No idea why I'm one of the chosen (or unchosen!) ones. 'Tis very funny though.

He may like you and want you to miss him on there? Or if you,re a strong opinionated women he may feel inferior?
Anything is possible but if its niggling away at you why don't you just drop it into conversation in a jokey way and see how he reacts.

sounds very immature
