To ask if I was being weird?

One of those memories came up on Facebook of me and some friends at a hen party. Shared it and tagged friends but one had deleted me so I put 'unfortunately I can't tag 'anna' as she has deleted me.'

Then I got an irate message from Anna telling me why she deleted me and to take down my status at once did I do something wrong?

What did you say about brexit?

podrig · 06/04/2017 23:05

Lol

Yes, you were

lunchisabanquet · 06/04/2017 23:05

That I was angry and upset about it is all

Agree with all PP. If I were Anna I would feel like you were having a very public dig at me.

EdSheeranswife · 06/04/2017 23:08

Rather petty op Hmm yes you were being weird.

ohdoadoodoo · 06/04/2017 23:08

YANBU purely because she voted Brexit

But on a serious note, yes writing that was weird.

ShoesHaveSouls · 06/04/2017 23:09

Well, I agree with on Brexit, OP. Anna is best forgotten Wink

RebelRogue · 06/04/2017 23:09

Weird and pointless. Why even mention her unless you wanted to make a point?

ShoesHaveSouls · 06/04/2017 23:10

*agree with you on Brexit....

SeraOfeliaFalfurrias · 06/04/2017 23:10

Why on earth did you say that? No one would have noticed or cared why Anna wasn't tagged. So I can certainly see why she thought it was a personal attack.

GiraffeorOcelot · 06/04/2017 23:13

Yes you were being weird. Frankly a childish ridiculous attention seeking comment to make. I do wonder why people don't restrain themselves and just keep the moral high ground sometimes. It doesn't make you look good OP.

NightWanderer · 06/04/2017 23:16

I didn't delete people for Brexit but I did over Trump (from both sides). There's only so much ranting I can take over my morning cup of tea.

Your comment was definitely passive aggressive. I'd have laughed it off though.

AtrociousCircumstance · 06/04/2017 23:20

You were poking the bear Grin Presumably because you think she was dumb to delete you just because you were expressing your feelings about Brexshit and dumb for voting Leave

Zippydoodah · 06/04/2017 23:25

I really hate being deleted when we have an unfollow button. I think it's quite a statement.

But if you were putting up union jacks and banging on about immigrants and getting 'are' country back with a blue passport, I am with AnnaGrin

TheRealPooTroll · 06/04/2017 23:31

A little weird and attention seeking. However I wouldn't be removing it or responding to 'Anna'. She shouldn't get to delete you and veto your statuses!

Papafran · 06/04/2017 23:31

Anna sounds like a dick. You are better off without Brexiteers in your life.... I also had people delete me over it.

pipsqueak25 · 06/04/2017 23:31

hurray for facebollocks ! Grin

Kalizahara · 06/04/2017 23:31

Well I agree with you on brexit, but why do people post their political beliefs all over social media? It's obviously going to rub people up the wrong way.

RebelRogue · 06/04/2017 23:34

PooTroll I'd normally agree,but she kinda has a say if OP used her name and specifically mentioned her.

It's all tit for tat for twat really.

TheRealPooTroll · 06/04/2017 23:35

Well she didn't say anything that wasn't true. And she doesn't have to worry about souring their friendship. I'd leave it up.

CatoSoup · 06/04/2017 23:37

How did she know you'd posted it if she deleted you?

Message her back saying you have no idea what she's waffling about and go one step further and block her Grin

gleefully encourages public Facebook drama

FeralBeryl · 06/04/2017 23:38

Zippy Grin
** OP the fact is, you had no need to make the comment at all, you knew this really.
You could have even said 'can't tag Anna' if you had to mention it at all.
You implied a slight but didn't post it in a forum where she could respond which is why she contacted you.
Everything on fuckbook is magnified x 10000000 so an off the cuff remark like that will have come across as Bad.
Just smile and nod and try not to worry

DemelzaGee · 06/04/2017 23:39

I don't think you did anything wrong, OP. Anna clearly didn't care about your feelings when she deleted you so I can't see why others are taking you to task for having a dig at Anna. And in any case, you were only stating a fact, that she had deleted you. It's not like you said 'fucking stupid bitch Anna has deleted me'

Itaintme · 06/04/2017 23:47

She might as well have said that though.A dig is a dig is a dig.

BackforGood · 06/04/2017 23:48

Yes, YWBU and YWB weird.

Why would you make a public statement about someone deleting you ? Very rude of you. Confused
