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

If I was in your position, I know I'd be reading all the memes and sniggering (as I am now) and feel better knowing I COULD send one (but wouldn't). I definitely wouldn't ask but I would text and invite her out or over that same night. I like that idea Grin

TisMeTheLadFromTheBar · 02/11/2016 14:47

Have you fallen out with one of the other couples? Are you being 'wendied'?
I would just ask. Especially, if the rest of the invitees are good friends too.

You could always be a little bit PA as a meme would be, but ask at the same time. 'X told me you're having a party at the weekend, I hope you have a lovely time.' Then she knows you know, you've wished her well, and she's left feeling awkward and needing to explain why you're not invited.

Couldashouldawoulda · 02/11/2016 14:54

I wouldn't ask, and I wouldn't meme. You have to just be cool and ignore it I think, to maintain your dignity. Mentally downgrade her to a C-list friend in future. I know how much it hurts. This happened to me once, nearly 20 years ago now, and it still pains me to remember it!

I was the only one of a group of friends not to be invited to a big birthday party. I was really hurt and it was embarrassing because everyone else assumed I'd be going (lots of texts 'where are you staying?', 'what time are you going to arrive?', etc. - I had to keep texting back to say that I hadn't been invited, then they were embarrassed too! It was really awkward). I hope it's a misunderstanding but whichever, make sure you are busy on party night!!

ChasedByBees · 02/11/2016 15:04

I was going to say be all mature but these memes are far too good to waste. Grin

BeMorePanda · 02/11/2016 15:11

if she really is a friend of course you have to ask her why she didn't invite you.

if she isn't a friend go all Meme on her ass.

BeMorePanda · 02/11/2016 15:11

or more like ask her "did my invite get lost in the post"?

HubbleBubbles · 02/11/2016 15:12

Grin I would LOVE to post a passive aggressive meme on Facebook but I haven't ever worked up the nerve. So satisfying I would imagine!

OP this has happened to me .. I maintained a dignified silence ..Halo

BakeOffBiscuits · 02/11/2016 15:12

Post all of them Grin

hmcAsWas · 02/11/2016 15:21

I've read the thread (which is unusual for me Grin) and there are two posters who relate tales of lost invites to parties. Are you sure you can't bring yourself to ask her about the party in case this is all a misunderstanding?

This might be a lot of needless angst

diddl · 02/11/2016 15:28

" I accidentally found out because a mutual friend assumed I was going..."

Is TMF likely to tell her that you know about the party, thereby if it's a mistake it could be rectified?

Pettywoman · 02/11/2016 15:45

I was NFI to a BBQ at one of my best friend's houses a couple of weeks ago. All my other friends were there. I honestly don't know why. I just ignored the issue and moved on. I think that's always the best policy. I'm still wondering why, and still a bit pissed off.

MaryPoppinsPenguins · 02/11/2016 20:17

Okay... I posted a meme. The first one.

No one EVER do this!

Someone Else decided it was about the and went batshit at me. Seriously..... she'd never entered my radar before, but she sent me the shittest (public) message you've ever seen.

She's clearly a crazy person... but still.... serves me right for posting a meme!!!!

Shock how rude!!

What did she say????

Squashberry · 02/11/2016 20:21

Maybe its a suprise party for you? Have you got a bday or anything coming up?
Memes are hilarious but maybe dont post one til you know why you didn't get the invite etc. I agree with a pp ask her out on that night- make her feel awkward.

I can't post what the crazy woman said because it would really put me... but it was batshit!

MaryPoppinsPenguins · 02/11/2016 20:27

It's definitely not a surprise party for me... but I'm so over posting memes now! Grin

How often do you usually see the party giver?

Squashberry · 02/11/2016 20:29

Maybe post a meme about people responding shittily to posts that weren't for them in response .... Grin
