O. M. G.

Please help me to feel better.

I HATE Facebook! I haven't actively used Facebook for years,but have the Messenger App as I sometimes get the odd message...

Anyway,for some reason,I decided to open the Messenger App and clicked on a conversation from my ex. We haven't spoken for about two years. Then,somehow I managed to accidentally send a thumbs up! I then panicked and then somehow changed the conversation colour?!!! Which came up as 'blanche has changed the conversation colour' and I was then like 'ABORT! ABORT! ABORT!' and then....god knows how....I managed to create a group with him and my other ex!

Oh the shame. I immediately left the group,but now,as I've left it...i seemingly can't get back in to delete it? So they're know in this sad little group together? Wondering why on earth I've suddenly randomly created this group and then left it!

Bloody hell

Someone recently sent me a video link to THAT video clip of the lady with the unfortunate swimsuit malfunction during a limbo contest. Of course I forwarded it straight on to the elderly chap who enquired about my chest of drawers for sale several months prior. I had no idea until I received a small thumbs up and a polite "thank you", which was actually quite disconcerting as he obviously thought that it was intentional on my part!

ALongHardWinter · 08/07/2020 22:13

Sounds like the sort of daft thing I'd do! Grin

Fb stalking, accidentally 'loved' a photo from about 10 years ago. Undid it, praying the person didn't get notified. Can you imagine the notification - 'someone you've only vaguely heard of liked your photo from 2010' 🤦

@worstemailever I was trying to read your post to DH and cannot even breathe, he thinks I'm mental 😂

SlightyJaded · 08/07/2020 22:55

There really is nothing funnier than a super-deluxe sized 'thumbs up' at an inappropriate moment.

DH has just reminded me of the time he had multiple messages open in messenger and was typing across a number of them as he tried to arrange Christmas lunch, including to his Brother and their Auntie. Mid messaging, his auntie called him and then disconnected herself after one ring, and DH wrote to his brother that 'Auntie X had just 'chin dialled' him and then cut herself off with her double, nay tripple, chin'. Followed by a smiley and a thumbs up. Except of course he typed it in the wrong box and sent it to Auntie X.

Who simply replied 'charming'.

DH cringed all the way through November and he and his brother had to avoid looking at her chin for the whole of Christmas.

Fabulous thread! It reminds my of the time I apparently asked to join the class Facebook group of the year several years above my DC. I had absolutely no idea till one of the mums I knew to say hi to asked me why I needed to be part of the group. Obviously I didn't 🙈 And the whole year group would have seen the join request 🙈🙈

Quinn81 · 08/07/2020 23:04

OP this thread is fabulous, thank you! I’ve NC for this as friends know this story but I was once asked out by a famous musician who I’d literally had posters of on my wall in college. We’d swapped numbers and I couldn’t believe my luck. A few days later my sister (who has the same first initial as musician guy) mentioned she was booked in for an intimate bum hole, to be precise waxing session the next day, so that afternoon I texted her to ask how it went and generally take the piss out of her. Except of course I didn’t send it to her. You can guess who the accidental recipient was Blush

Never heard from him again, funnily enough, and I still blush when one of his songs comes on the radio!

I honestly want to crawl into a hole and die just remembering it, and it was over a decade ago!

rosebb1 · 08/07/2020 23:06

Grin that's so funny! Have a drink and hopefully it won't feel as bad!!

sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea · 08/07/2020 23:17

oh god OP, I did something similar with DP when we'd had a MASSIVE MASSIVE row one night (we don't live together). I woke up at about four in the morning with The Horrors, wondering if I'd overreacted, so scrolled back through the conversation trying to see where the misunderstanding arose. Instead I sent him about eleven MASSIVE THUMBS UP in a row without realising.
Got a message from him a few hours later. 'You don't normally agree with me so easily?' He knew exactly what I'd done, and thought it was hilarious. Grin

And one ex whom I hadn't spoken to for about six years (on good terms, but just didn't really chat) sent me a Spongebob Squarepants sticker. That was it. Nothing else. Just Spongebob. I cackled quite a bit over that and replied with 'well, that's nicely random! How are you?' and we actually ended up having a lovely chat, interspersed with both of us sending ever more random photos of nonsensical things.

Springersrock · 08/07/2020 23:36

Oh I've done worse.. stalked my ex on Facebook (drunk) only I didn't use the search bar. I used my status update. Woke up to see 'Bob Smith' in big letters on my timeline. Someone had actually liked it. This is one of many reasons I no longer drink alcohol

God, I’ve done that too Blush

Unfollowed my sister in law as the bollocks she posted got right on my tits. Curiosity got the better of me one so I searched her, except I typed her name as my status. Didn’t notice for ages until she commented ? on it

Also typed a text message for DH into my status by accident - although I’ve done that on here too

sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea · 08/07/2020 23:37

Oh, OH! I've just remembered another one! A group chat amongst school mums. All very much 'is it non-uniform tomorrow/have you had the letter about the trip on Tuesday/what are the spellings for this week?'. One mum who never, ever replied to anyone finally broke her duck. With a rather revealing photo of herself. That was it. Just a photo. None of us knew her well enough to say anything or make a joke out of it. It was excruciating seeing all the 'seen by' little notifications under the photo. She obviously didn't realise, didn't delete it, and there was a sudden flurry of messages between us all, so that post got buried by other updates. I don't think she ever knew quite why we were chatting so much about the lollipop lady retiring, and who was going to be able to go to sports day.

Anyone else just googled ‘old lady limbo’?

MrsGoggings85 · 08/07/2020 23:48

Crying 😭😭😭😭

backseatcookers · 08/07/2020 23:49

This thread has MASSIVELY cheered me up after a shit day, I'm going to wake up my other half from laughing here in bed while he's asleep.

In future whenever I need to change I'll be honouring this thread "NC for this but I'm a long term regular - Sistine chapel, penis beaker, giant thumbs up etc"

When I sent an accidental fucking giant thumbs up (it's always to an ex isn't it) I thought it was like the like heart on Instagram where if you click on it again it cancels it.

So I did that. Then because another one appeared I panicked and because I'm stupid pressed it again. So they got THREE giant thumbs up. Ffs.

MrsGoggings85 · 08/07/2020 23:50

Loving this thread, cheers op! Had to work all eve and its cold and wet here but this has cheered me up no end!

LunaNorth · 08/07/2020 23:51

@Worstemailever

I just found it and now your post is about 10 thousand times funnier Grin

Slinkymalinky1 · 09/07/2020 00:06

This thread is so funny. Definitely should be in classics

FlossieTeacakesFurCoat18 · 09/07/2020 00:14

I'm crying! I'm glad you're feeling better about it OP, you've certainly given a lot of people a good laugh Grin

@Sneezyweasel I love the appropriateness of the LOL you sent. I do wonder about actual real-life phone gremlins sometimes...

I recently subscribed to my ex on youtube, so really obviously stalking, no chance I can brazen it out... I instantly unsubscribed, but I know he'll have still received an email saying "Flossy Teacake subscribed to you...." My youtube name is my real name. THE SHAME!

TurquoiseDress · 09/07/2020 00:24

This is funny OP!GrinGrin

SingingSands · 09/07/2020 00:53

This thread has reminded me I need to delete all my old chats, was extra careful not to give the thumbs up though! Grin

Yester · 09/07/2020 01:17

One of my business clients rang to cancel an appointment because their father had very sadly died unexpectedly. I emailed back sending my condolences. Some how the text message got a weird effect added to it that meant balloons kept floating up saying congratulations and shite happy music played. I completely panicked tried to delete the text and of course sent it. Still feel sick when think about that dreaded send moment.
