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

And that was only last week!

VillanellesOrangeCoat · 08/07/2020 12:11

Oh god this is BRILLIANT 🤣🤣 Sorry for laughing op, but thank you for sharing!

Do both the exes know each other? Maybe they will strike up an unlikely friendship!

Oh, OP. We all do it!

Holyrivolli · 08/07/2020 12:13

Oh bless. I’m cringing for you.

Agree with pp- if in contact with them then brazen it out and blame it on fat fingers/ booze/ combo of both. If not then ignore and try to forget about it.

TokyoSushi · 08/07/2020 12:14

Oh OP!! That's hilarious!

edwinbear · 08/07/2020 12:14

Oh OP, I'm crying with laughter, I'm so sorry, I know I shouldn't be, but that's one of the funniest things I've read in a long time. Especially the over sized thumbs up!

blanche85 · 08/07/2020 12:16

No - they don't know each other - does that make it better or worse?

And I'm not in contact with either of them anymore...neither were left on very good terms!

This has made my day. Thank you @blanche85. Thank you Grin

TimeWastingButFun · 08/07/2020 12:17

Haha! They probably think you're trying to summon up courage to talk about STDs or something!! Probably got them properly worried Grin

DifficultPifcultLemonDifficult · 08/07/2020 12:18

GrinGrinGrin that's amazing.

Never mention it, do nothing else, if they mention it just blame your kid/neice/nephew/a friends kid, who was playing a game on your phone. this works well, from experience

SmileyClare · 08/07/2020 12:22

Haha ha Grin

Sorry but the enormous thumbs up is very funny. You need to avoid Facebook forever and think about changing your appearance.

Not the same level but my boss sent me some instructions and I her messaged back Thanks, okey dokey. It auto corrected to Thanks oldey foldey. Blush

WhenISnappedAndFarted · 08/07/2020 12:22

I've had such a bad day and this has had me in hysterics.

I've done similar things before and not sure how they've happened. Like a PP said - style it out.

Alonelonelyloner · 08/07/2020 12:22

I'm laughing so hard right now that I'm annoying people everywhere.

blanche85 · 08/07/2020 12:22

That's a good idea to blame my child!

Finally having a toddler pays off ;)

BearSoFair · 08/07/2020 12:22

I've done the giant thumbs up a few times, it's so easy to hit by mistake! But never the rest Grin That's hilarious, sorry OP, I'm just imagining them sitting there wondering what the hell is happening. I wonder if they've spoken at all Grin

Oh OP that made me laugh . Easily done though , I sent that fecking huge thumbs up to a (not seen in 20 years ) ex as I was looking through our very old conversation thread. I’d just unfriend them/block them and forget about it, it’ll be funny tomorrow!

SlightyJaded · 08/07/2020 12:24

It's really easy to send a Thumbs Up by mistake. I did this the other week to someone I know but have no business messaging, and got a mortifying '?????' response which I have had to ignore because shame.

TheDogsMother · 08/07/2020 12:24

So sorry OP but I am crying here. Especially at the massive thumbs up.

blanche85 · 08/07/2020 12:26

I just can't help wondering what they're thinking...or worse...if they've struck up a conversation.

I have that awful feeling at the pit of my stomach.

Oh that made me laugh- we’ve all been there 😂

Beebeet · 08/07/2020 12:26

Sorry to laugh OP, but that is mortifying but also hilarious!

amiascrazyastheysay · 08/07/2020 12:28

Aw op you made me laugh so much
With this! Thanks for making my day. I hope your ex's are reminiscing about how great you are Smile

indy1282 · 08/07/2020 12:29

Thumbs up I can believe, easy to do but starting a conversation with another person who happens to be another ex....Hmm

BluebellForest836 · 08/07/2020 12:31

I had someone add me as a friend the other night at about midnight and unlucky for them I was on my phone at the time and then they quickly took the friend request away as I clicked on their page (it’s a male and someone who’s distant friends with my bloke).

I decided to message them saying ...

Bit of fb stalking and accidentally clicked add as a friend?😂You didn’t remove it quick enough before I seen😂😂
