To post a childish meme to display that I'm fucked off?

I am. I know I am... I'm mid thirties with kids and I'm pissed off my friend is having a big party with all our joint friends and didn't invite me & DH.

My DH doesn't care. Everything is like water off a ducks back to him... which kind of annoys me more.

I want to find some perfect 'didn't invite me to your party, well Fuck you' meme but a) I wouldn't know where to look, b) I'm not a teenager and c) I'm sure I would regret it.

But I still want to. I need to get over it don't I?! Blush

I had someone stewing over the lack of invite to a party; she was really upset and had, unbeknown to me, been asking around to find out if she had upset me in some way. Fortunately I chased up her lack of reply to the invite and found out she hadn't received it. Even more fortunately her neighbour got back from a fortnight's holiday and found her invite, misdelivered. She could see from the postmark that she had been invited at the same time as everybody else. But she had a week of feeling wretched before it got sorted out, and apparently there had been tears. Sad

JUST. FUCKING. ASK. FFS.

LiveLifeWithPassion · 02/11/2016 13:57

She doesn't place much value on your friendship. Don't post a meme and don't have much to do with her anymore.
It's sad when this happens and I agree with everyone else who said to organise something for yourself that day so you're not sitting around feeling upset.

I do love a good meme

I would ask. As it is the friendship is being spoiled by something that may be a misunderstanding or if you're not invited you can refocus your attention to people who want to enjoy your company. Just ask. Don't stew.

AbelMancwitch · 02/11/2016 14:07

(OT but is it pronounced "meem" or "meemee"? Am never sure!) Blush

MackerelOfFact · 02/11/2016 14:07

Wrong thread? Grin

Meeeeeem

LOVE the Hyacinth Bucket Bouquet one Grin

griffinsss · 02/11/2016 14:16

Seriously, just ask! There's no way I'd sit back and wonder, but then again I'm the person who needs answers right away.

I'd have phoned the friend as soon as the mutual friend who assumed you were attending had gone!

GeekyWombat · 02/11/2016 14:17

Oh that clock meme. In fact this whole thread...!

That said OP, I understand you being hurt but if it was me I'd go off and do something much more awesome with DPs and brush it off.

leaveittothediva · 02/11/2016 14:18

Don't meme. Don't ask. Don't care. Next time you see her, be polite, be nice, but in a very formal sort of way. Don't be your whole self, save that for people who give a damn about you. Maybe next time plan a nice meal and drinks out, with these friends but don't invite her. See how she likes them eggs.

This memes are sooo funny Grin

Sallystyle · 02/11/2016 14:21

This thread made me feel a bit better.

I am in the same position as you. I'm not brave enough to post any memes though Grin

KurriKurri · 02/11/2016 14:22

Don't ask - just move on. Honestly do you want to ask and have her be flustered and embarrassed and say 'oh it must have got lost' then you will be the person at the party who begged for an invitation. It is the height of unclassy to ask why you haven't been invited to an event.

Enjoy the memes but don't send them, mentally hope at least twenty people are sick on the carpet at her party and find something else to do that day (And of course post photos on FB of your amazing day so she can look at them while she is trying to scrub mysterious stains off her furniture)

Queenbean · 02/11/2016 14:26

I can't believe anyone wouldn't ask

I have two groups of people I know:
Friends:

  • close enough that I would ask them if not invited and if not, why not
Aquantainces:
  • wouldn't ask because I would assume we aren't close enough and wouldn't really care about being invited

Really don't understand upsetting yourself for ages because you can't ask a supposedly good friend

AnthonyPandy · 02/11/2016 14:31

I love that old field of fucks one, I saw it on another thread earlier, too. I'm on the mobile site, can anyone tell me if it is a computer generated meme or a tapestry?

OliviaStabler · 02/11/2016 14:37

Unfortunately here's the time when you know now you are not her 'friend' you are simply to her a casual acquaintance.

You thought you were closer, she clearly thinks otherwise.

I've been there, it bloody hurts Sad

NightWanderer · 02/11/2016 14:41

Yes, text and ask if she is doing anything tonight and if she fancies popping round for scrabble and cocktails. Much classier than a meme.

mscongeniality · 02/11/2016 14:41

Don't ask her OP, for whatever reason she doesn't consider you a close enough friend so if I were you I would realign my expectations from this friendship and move along accordingly in the future.
