Hi,
AIBU to be slightly annoyed that my husband’s barber, added him on Facebook and he accepted?

What a bizarre question! Why are you annoyed? Why do you even care who he is friends with on facebook?

MildlyFedUp · 21/05/2018 13:03

It must be hard, naught, I do sympathise. However if you use words that sound the same but are incorrect most people would assume it was an autocorrect error or ignore it anyway- people put lose for loose all the time on here and I've never seen it pointed out to them directly.

I'm afraid that spelling phonetically does look amusing though, and people will probably make jokes if you continue to do it. So it's up to you; grow a thicker skin/ shake it off, continue to have these altercations where you explain your dyslexia, or use spellcheck. Smile

Is @CrazyCatLady8 going to come back and explain to us what the issue is ?

Or @AnyFucker for that matter ?

Naught picking someone up on their spelling or grammar is considered an arsehole move by the vast majority of MNers.

I’ve very sorry you had a bad experience on another thread. Don’t let it put you off posting.

I’d much rather see poor spelling than poor manners.

As for those sticking it to AF with such glee. ShockHmm

Fair enough to disagree with her point but the personal gibes just make you look terrible.

Midly you do realise you just implied that it’s acceptable on MN to laugh at someone with a disability?

It’s really not.

This thread makes me realize I have no real interest in my husband. If this is the new normal, a forensic level of involvement in his day to day is not for me.

StealthPolarBear · 21/05/2018 13:13

Yanbu op I'd be fumming

StealthPolarBear · 21/05/2018 13:15

What... I would be! I love a good fumm.

MildlyFedUp · 21/05/2018 13:15

Not saying it's alright at all. Nobody knows if someone is dyslexic though, they may assume it's just someone who doesn't know how to spell a word and has a stab at it that ends up looking amusing. Like the many threads about 'chester draws', 'walla (for voila)' etc. I was just trying to suggest how naught could make her posting life less fraught.

ApocalypseNowt · 21/05/2018 13:17

I don't I have barber, I have a hairdresser. He is my hairdresser. His name is George and his dad's a farmer.

He hasn't added me on Facebook.

I am sad.

Maybe he was never mine to begin with Sad

PanGalaticGargleBlaster · 21/05/2018 13:20

It’s a slippery pole

Never trusted those east European barbers

Sunflowersforever · 21/05/2018 13:23

WTF (aka placemarking) Wink

VauxhallVectra · 21/05/2018 13:24

I'm a hairdresser and I have lots of my clients on FB, men and women.

Sorry, I said my clients, I should've said "I'm FB friends with lots of people whose hair I style".

Hmm

Come back, OP... we need to know more.

NaughtToThreeSadOnions · 21/05/2018 13:24

Mildly spelling words phonetically is common way of getting round dyslexia in the late 80s early 90s it was even a taught technique

So how about instead of finding phonetic spelling amusing you go oh theyve apelt it phonetically theres a massive chance their dyslexic

Sunflowersforever · 21/05/2018 13:25

Actually, maybe 'barber' is autocorrect for something else.

Barbie
Ex-girlfriend
Antichrist

Puttingthefootdown · 21/05/2018 13:25

Look what his barber has started OP.

Jump in his/her DM and tell them how ashamed of themselves they should be 🤦

Gazelda · 21/05/2018 13:28

My hAirdresser has never friend requested me. I thought we were close. She's seen my roots close up. She's seen me in rollers. She's washed behind my ears.
I guess I've been kidding myself.

PinkCalluna · 21/05/2018 13:29

Nobody knows if someone is dyslexic though

That’s very true Midly we don’t know, they might not be dyslexic they might not be writing in their first language, or they may just not have had the benefit of a good level of education due to a chaotic or disruptive childhood.

The polite and kind thing to do is let it pass without comment unless you really can’t discern the meaning.

A general thread about “Chester draws” which isn’t in response to a specific poster is not the same thing at all.

Whywonttheyletmeusemyusername · 21/05/2018 13:30

This thread is hilarious. I have no advice. I'm just placemarking for the banter

StealthPolarBear · 21/05/2018 13:44

My husbands antichrist has added him on Facebook aibu to be miffed?
Oh and he accepted the request, the devil!

DiagramFan · 21/05/2018 14:12

Can someone message me when there's some sort of diagram?

Rosielily · 21/05/2018 14:13

Perhaps the OP doesn't like the way her husband's barber cuts his hair!?

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 21/05/2018 14:19

DiagramFan I have to sing your username to the tune of Telegram Sam! Blush

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 21/05/2018 15:01

Has anyone else googled 'barber killed in Facebook rage'?

If your in jail op, we won't do t-shirts or a just giving page without an update and diagram.
