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

Grin so funny

Sorry OP this is hilarious 🤣

Don't message saying sorry and blame it on a child, they will think you are telling them one of them is the father! Mamma Mia eat your heart out.

msflibble · 08/07/2020 12:37

oh god, I'm sorry OP - I don't have any helpful advice to offer but that really made me laugh!

Signalbox · 08/07/2020 12:37

This actually made me laugh out loud which doesn’t happen very often so thanks op! It’s the sort of thing that Bridgette Jones would have done (and me actually if I’m honest) xx

MyBingaling · 08/07/2020 12:39

Oh, OP! That has made me laugh out loud (really!). Cringing for you. I’m a chronic over thinker, so I feel your pain. That would probably have me obsessing for days!

Block. Delete. Pretend it didn’t happen. Shrug it off with a casual ‘no idea how that happened?!’ if there is any comeback. These are the laws of social media fuck ups.

Signalbox · 08/07/2020 12:40

I can’t stop giggling each time I think about it. You should write comedy op.

ImaWomAnnotaWomEn · 08/07/2020 12:41

Oh OP BiscuitFlowers for you, you poor sod Grin.

timeisnotaline · 08/07/2020 12:41

They have obviously both been reminded of everything they loved about you and are fighting each other for supremacy to be the one to (Re)claim your hand. They have forgotten about your now partner (if there is one) which seems a little dismissive but I’m sure they’ve just assumed that if he were a worthy contender you would also have added him to the contender group, which you didn’t, which seems a fair assumption.

ImaWomAnnotaWomEn · 08/07/2020 12:42

I didn't add a biscuit btw, that biscuit invited itself.

Teacuplady86 · 08/07/2020 12:44

Gosh this made me laugh!!

Blame it on the cat walking across the keyboard (they don’t need to know you don’t have one - if you don’t) Grin

NameChange84 · 08/07/2020 12:44

Love this OP thanks for making me smile.

If it makes you feel any better, over a year after I broke up with my ex and deleted him off every platform I accidentally snapchatted him instead of my baby niece with me doing fish faces and saying “Aaaassshhhhhhhhhhh my ickle squidgy face guess who wants to cover you in sloppy kisses and eat you right up?”

Blush

I genuinely have never got over it.

Bloops · 08/07/2020 12:45

LMAO

Auridon4life · 08/07/2020 12:46

Blame on booze and delete the FB messenger app when you actually get drunk

Houseworkavoider · 08/07/2020 12:46

Oh that’s brilliant! Grin
An ex’s sister was texting her friend. She was moaning about another friend but sent the text to the one she was moaning about!
They’re all still friends but the horror was tangible!

WhenISnappedAndFarted · 08/07/2020 12:47

There are very few threads that make me lol but the OP and some of the comments really have.

CautiousOptimist · 08/07/2020 12:47

This is brilliant OP, mortified for you but thanks for the giggle.

LaurieMarlow · 08/07/2020 12:49

😂 😂 😂

This is what the cry-laugh emoji was made for. You poor thing.

Abandon FB I say. Never go back there again. Sorted.

SnakesOrLadders · 08/07/2020 12:49

Sorry op 😂😂😂that made me laugh so much

Spied · 08/07/2020 12:49

I'd send more random letters of the alphabet or something then in an hour or so send a message saying that your phone's gone wild and sending things and setting up groups?
Then delete.

Teacuplady86 · 08/07/2020 12:50

I once pocket dialled my ex during a smear test. All he heard was the nurse saying she needed the smallest speculum.

Dresses with pockets aren’t always a good idea! 😂

SmileyClare · 08/07/2020 12:51

I'm thinking the only explanation for setting up a group messenger for exes is to inform them of a chlamydia issue or similar?
So that's awkward.

You seem to know what you’re doing. 🤣

SmileyClare · 08/07/2020 12:56

You seem to know what you're doing Grin

Fake a phone malfunction by sending random letters of the alphabet. Then follow it up with Sorry my phone's gone wild? Brilliant.

CornishTiger · 08/07/2020 12:57

Oh OP whilst everyone is finding it funny and trying to get you to see it as light hearted I sense you are feeling really crap about it.

Personally I’d set up a new group. Apologise for accidentally setting up the original group. State something like technology was never my strongest point, brief explaination you were deleting old messages And somehow added another.

Tell them obviously feel free to delete both conversations and that you wish them both well.

DifficultPifcultLemonDifficult · 08/07/2020 12:59

Or you could post up on facebook "sorry for all the random messages, friend requests and posts everyone, problem solved now", either leave it open for all to comment on or just make it so those 2 can see it.
