I’ve been named and ‘shamed’

[EstuaryBird]

Admittedly it’s only on our local WhatsApp group...

Opened it this morning and there’s a message from a ‘founder’ member of the group.

“Me, hubs and the kids were out last night making lots of noise for our NHS heroes. Disappointed to see that some of this group don’t care enough to give up 2 minutes of their time!!! Maybe you forgot..(then a list of names including mine). Will be sending you a reminder next week!!”

I know she’s a twat but I’m fuming. I’m not going to dignify it with a reply because she and her little crew of followers love a public war. I’m just going to ignore her but if she thinks she’s forcing me out next week she’s got another bloody think coming.

Tbh if I wasn’t on lockdown I wouldn’t even give it 2 thoughts but I’m winding myself up about it now!

AIBU to think that clapping is not compulsory and nobody else’s business?

I’d reply with a 😂

Nope, she's an idiot. Delete the group!

Omg that’s batshit.

So funny! shes such a knob.

Mute the group

Wtf? Some people have become really strange during this time.

YANBU, she sounds like a nasty twat and a virtue signalling bully.

Yanbu to be fuming - what a busy body! Definitely ignore, will probably wind her up more!

LOL!!! What a dick she is - call her out she had no shame doing the same for you

Oh god, I'd have to sit on my hands to not reply. What a dick.

What are the benefits to staying in this group?

She's a knob.

Just leave the WhatsApp group - what a silly comment to put.

She’s a twat. Leave the group.
Forced cheering, how’s that going to help anyone?!

I’d tell her to go fuck herself. Then delete the group.

Omg that’s hilarious! What a twat! (Her not you!) I agree 😂 is an appropriate response.

But.... A local WhatsApp group? What fresh hell is this? Can you leave the group? Sounds awful!

Tell her you're too busy setting up a petition for better pay and conditions long term for NHS and other emergency staff which I'm sure they'd appreciate more.

Say you were having a massive shit and couldn’t get off the toilet quick enough.

Not that I would have joined a local WhatsApp group in the first place.

Everyone who was named and shamed should leave the group now. That would be an excellent response.

That’s insane, insane! I wish we could somehow get her on this thread to explain herself. What are some people thinking!

I’d reply with

“Wow. #BeKind”

Then engage no further.

Join the club!! Our house was named and shamed on the X Street Community facebook page, because we didn't go out and clap! Someone was filming in their front garden, and zooming in on house numbers, to post in the group and shame those who didn't go out to clap and bash pans with wooden spoons. I could not find it more funny

Wtf! Our ndn messaged me at 7.40 asking if we were doing it,she then proceeded to put a video of her and her dc cheering at 8pm.My phone was off and I had genuinely forgot.Weird.

Leave the group.

I didn't go out and clap last night and it's not because I don't care or appreciate the NHS (and all the other workers trying to keep our lives on an even keel).

I don't feel bad for not doing it and I wouldn't feel self-righteous about it if I did.

@Thymelord that's mental behaviour! I'm glad I dont live on your street
