High school reunion

[JacksSprat]

I've been invited to a high school reunion through Facebook. I don't know why because I had zero friends at school, absolutely hated the place and regularly wished it would just burn down.

The person who invited me once walked past me in the street. I smiled and said hello to which she stared through me, gave a sidewards glance to her followers and walked past.

So I have replied and said

"Thanks for the invite but I would rather plunge my own eyes out with tooth picks and eat them - and then choke on them. But thanks anyway".

She posted my reply to the group to which they all acted shocked initially before coming back with the "why did you invite her anyway?? 😂" and "to be fair, she was never going to come! 😂" comments as well as a couple of "who was she anyway? Don't even remember her" comments.

DH thinks I shouldn't have replied and I suppose he's right but my only regret is not posting a more honest reason of why I wouldn't be going. That school and its contents made my life hell.

Brilliant

How old are you? What a silly reply you gave.

Good for you.
May they all reflect on their twatism teenage behaviour.
Being a grown up is so much easier!

I wouldnt have replied it makes you look like you still care im friends on facebook with a few people i went to school with i wasent very popular at school but we are all in our fourties now school was a very long time ago and most people seem like reasonable adults now.

You were very rude. You should have politely decline - you aren’t 17 yo anymore.

Santa they won’t reflect on anything and even the ones who thought kindly of the OP will now think she was unnecessarily rude.

I think you put yourself in the rude and silly catagory and played into their hands.

You should have politely declined, told the real reason in a measured and honest way or ignored it.

Or just ignored the invite my sister was badly bullied at primary school from a boy in her class he apologised a few years ago when she bumped into him she thanked him for it they are in their mid forties they have both grown up .

^^ 5 for you that was brilliant I felt the same about mine but i just muttered something about i would see what i was doing.

Meh you owe these people nothing so what if you were a bit cutting you could have said a lot worse

Pretty childish response from you really-you could of been the bigger person and said thanks for the invite but I can't make it or just ignored it. You played into their hands so clearly all as childish and immature as each other.

It’s a great reply! Silly and childish which is exactly what high school is/was. And true. I’m just waiting for a reunion to be organised so I can not so politely decline

Stop living in the past.

So was EVERY single person in your year group nasty to you at school? You insulted every single one of them with your very rude and non-sensical reply ("plunge" your eyes out?!) which seems a bit mean. I'm sure you weren't the only one that found school difficult and struggled with friendships.

I suppose it depends on how long ago school was if you only left a couple of years ago you might still hold some resentment i left school nearly 30 years ago i wouldnt judge someone on who they are now because they were unpleasent to me when i was 14 .

To be fair having already responded as you did, and having received those replies, I'd probably just go back on and say something like "And that is why I replied as I did!"
