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

If it makes you feel any better @blanche85 I once sent an FB message to a male friend when I was about to give birth which accidentally read as though he was the father (he wasn't). I also managed to copy in another male friend to the message whose wedding we had been at the night the baby happened to be conceived with my DH.
I never spoke of it with either of them since. Cringed solidly for about 6 months afterwards tho

@blanche85 As they say threes a crowd Grin

Ellie56 · 08/07/2020 13:26

You created a group with your exes then left them together after giving a huge thumbs up?

This is hilarious.Grin Grin

Thedogscollar · 08/07/2020 13:26

Three's.

confusedandtired99 · 08/07/2020 13:29

I feel for you OP Grin

Ellie56 · 08/07/2020 13:32

And no YANBU as you've entertained us all so royally. I'm still laughing. Grin

BanningTheWordNaice · 08/07/2020 13:36

Oh man I’ve been accidentally friended by so many people’s exes. Also a friend once accidentally left a reaaaally long voicemail complaining about someone (who’d been really obnoxious), thanks Siri.

TheVanguardSix · 08/07/2020 13:37

There's imagining one's worst fear and then there's making that worst fear your reality! Grin Oh God, you know when people say, "Look at that plant. Now imagine what it tastes of," and you know what it tastes of because at some point in your childhood, you've had a nibble of its leaves? Well, this is how I feel about your shame. Your shame is my shame, OP. I have tasted that shame! I have worn your badge of shame and hand on heart, I salute you, for committing yourself to the cause of utter foolishness experienced by those who have come before you and those who come after you. Grin
Don't be hard on yourself! It doesn't matter at all. Nobody died and just keep telling yourself: "They were exes for a reason." Flowers
They're probably feeling rather quite special, flattered by your sudden but passing attention, so don't worry.

Sassenach85 · 08/07/2020 13:39

Omg I laughed so hard at this my dh is annoyed 😂😂😂

Cherrytangfastic · 08/07/2020 13:39

Ahahahahaha thanks for the laugh this morning Grin

Sassenach85 · 08/07/2020 13:40

Keep giggling when I think of it lol

TheVanguardSix · 08/07/2020 13:40

Just to add... it's the thumbs up that has me crying with laughter! Seriously, tears in my eyes. This has been such a good laugh. Sorry! Grin I'm actually worried that there was no alcohol involved... like, this is YOU sober, OP! Grin

pipnchops · 08/07/2020 13:41

This is hilarious 🤣 don't worry at all, they're exes, what they think does not matter one jot but I can just imagine the panic you felt! It's embarrassing now but a really funny story to tell!

DontStandSoClose · 08/07/2020 13:47

I was laughing so much my husband asked what was so funny? I explained and he laughed too 😆. Thanks we needed a good laugh!

I can’t come up with anything helpful or constructive other than to just laugh it off!

Dinoctoblock · 08/07/2020 13:49

I’m another reader crying with laughter, thank you OP! I’m imagining them scratching their heads, wondering if you’re hoping they will discuss in your absence. Or whether you just thought they’d get on really well with each other. 😂 Love the big thumbs up too. 🤣

DaisyBrain · 08/07/2020 13:52

Tears of laughter here! Really needed that today so sorry OP your shame is my gain!! 😂😂😂😂😂

VeganCow · 08/07/2020 13:57

It wasn't even a casual thumbs up either - it was fucking huge! Took up most of the screen! god I'm pissing myself here Grin

Lightswitches · 08/07/2020 13:59

Just say you were deleting old contacts but something went wrong. Smile

SmileyClare · 08/07/2020 14:00

Personally I'd set up a new group. Apologise for setting up the original group

This has the potential to backfire after all Op's previous technical issues..

SuckingDieselFella · 08/07/2020 14:00

Tell them you are matchmaking and you think they should get together.

Lightswitches · 08/07/2020 14:01

On the same kind of topic, does anyone know if it's true people can see when you've been looking at their (public) social media page? Not as standard necessarily, but if they download something or the other?

thesedaysarescary · 08/07/2020 14:03

You've made my day! I'm absolutely howling with laughter as this is the type of stupid thing I would do 🤣🤣

VeganCow · 08/07/2020 14:06

does anyone know if it's true people can see when you've been looking at their (public) social media page? They wont know, I believe, but you will then come up in their 'people you may know'

rainbringsjoytome · 08/07/2020 14:09

Thanks - you gave me a good laugh!

FlaskMaster · 08/07/2020 14:11

Brazen it out op. Make the group again and post "I'm desperate for some dick tbh, any offers?"
