To be totally embarrassed...

Youjustgotlittup · 19/08/2019 15:42

So my husbands best man posted a gif of him and a mystery girl sharing spaghetti lady and the tramp style. I got all excited as he’s been single forever and messaged him right away to find out details. Turns out was other best man’s new fiancé. I forgot they were visiting him! I am mortified I didn’t recognise her. I’m mortified they know this. Any help for my reply 🙈

More concerned that he's sharing spaghetti 'lady and the tramp' style with his mate's fiancee...

Yes, am I misreading totally or is this the situation?

VLCDoingIt · 19/08/2019 16:43

Huh.

This isn't funny or embarrassing Confused

Anotheruser02 · 19/08/2019 17:02

I hope the DM don't pick this one up.

ScreamingValenta · 19/08/2019 17:03

I'm awful at recognising faces so I get why you're embarrassed, OP. I agree with the advice to laugh it off as best you can.

A friend came round one day and commented on how sweet baby DD looked in a photo on display then said "who's that holding her?" It was me!! I was baffled but did not take offence....

Just forget about it OP

SeaSaltandLime · 19/08/2019 17:36

If I'm reading this correctly you mistook BM1 for BM2? Is that it? Really?

I don't understand the big drama? Apart from whoops wrong person?

Can't you make some comment about the fact you'll have to go to Specsavers and pick up your new varifocals.

colourlessgreenidea · 19/08/2019 18:21

He’s now plastered his Facebook with gifs of him sharing spaghetti with the other best man 😂 definitely aimed at me. I know this is going to be all over the WhatsApp group my husbands in so I’m screwed 😂 can’t even quietly slip into the background

Judging by the 20 or so ‘😂’ emojis you’ve used, it’s clear that you’re truly howling with laughter about this, aren’t you? Confused

colourlessgreenidea · 19/08/2019 18:23

I hope the DM don't pick this one up.

I’ll be honest, I do not see that happening.

All of the DM’s journalists will have guffawed themselves senseless before it makes it to press.

Hahah I understand Grin some posters are taking this thread to seriously obviously it is light hearted and funny 😂 @Toastedstrudel it’s just a joke don’t get ya knickers in a twist

Bertieandernie · 19/08/2019 18:26

@DarlingNikita obviously a joke 🙄 don’t have to take life so seriously

colourlessgreenidea · 19/08/2019 18:31

some posters are taking this thread to seriously obviously it is light hearted and funny

I think most people don’t really understand the ‘joke’ of not recognising someone in a photo, or why the OP is so beside herself with mirth that she didn’t recognise someone in a photo.

Bertieandernie · 19/08/2019 18:34

I don’t think the OP is taking herself too seriously

Owlsintowels · 19/08/2019 18:34

Just out of interest... Why do so many PP feel the need to be complete bitches?

Yes the story is a bit of a non event, IMO. But maybe there was additional contact / colour to the comments, or maybe OP isnt used to getting something wrong in a public forum and get friends are ribbing her for not recognising the new fiancée

Whatever the reason, if your only v comment is to say effectively 'OP you are boring' then why bother?

The world is a better place for you not saying it. It is not witty, and the only purpose is to tell OP she is a dick.

How about instead you think 'you tedious dick' to yourself and scroll on instead?

I'd love someone to tell us all exactly how muhh satisfaction they get from bringing an annonymous stranger down a peg or two, because I can't think why they'd bother posting otherwise

For info the reason I'm posting this is because I've had enough of these crappy comments on MN threads, they don't add anything and I'm calling the pdsters out as bitches. Bringing a nasty person down a peg or two will make me feel better. That's my motivation. What's yours?

DarlingNikita · 19/08/2019 18:48

Bertie, thanks for the patronising eye roll but it's not that I don't think it's funny; I genuinely don't think I get the joke.

Is it just the case that the OP didn't recognise the woman as best man 1's fiancee even though she has met her? If so then OK, I get it, it's quite funny.

But how I read it is that one man (best man 1) has been sharing spaghetti in a romantic way with another man (best man 2)'s fiancee.

i.e. best man 2's fiancee is cheating or at least flirting with best man 1.

If I'm wrong then fine. I'd just like to know either way, rather than you just assuming I've no sense of humour.

Bertieandernie · 19/08/2019 18:51

@DarlingNikita ok I apologise for the eye roll I don’t mean to be patronising, I just assumed that it was a joke between the best men as OP also posted the two best men were also sharing the spaghetti together

Derbee · 19/08/2019 18:52

Filing this under “things that aren’t actually events”

ElizaDee · 19/08/2019 21:03

Does anyone else also want spag bol now?

TwoPupsandaHamster · 19/08/2019 22:01

So to recap.... BM1 was eating spaghetti (Lady and the Tramp style) with BM2's partner? Why are you embarrassed OP? Are you BM2's partner? Am I missing something? 🤔

Toastedstrudel · 20/08/2019 07:09

I still don’t understand the joke and it’s just frustrating how nobody will clarify!

DarlingNikita · 20/08/2019 10:29

That's OK Bertie. I still don't understand, though... Grin

'I just assumed that it was a joke between the best men as OP also posted the two best men were also sharing the spaghetti together'

But the best man posted those images as a joke reply to the original issue, no? Which was that he someone else's fiancée were doing the spaghetti-sharing thing, no...?

Aaarrrghh, I don't get it!
