To ask what is the most ridiculous reason someone has fallen out with you?

[Rainbowb]

Need a bit of solidarity right now!

Toss up between these weirdos:
-- for not having a beer on my birthday (I'm teetotal)
-- for unfriending a relative who never spoke to me but was gossiping about me to all our not online kin in very odd ways (this relative had actually told me to block a different family member cause they were going to do that...). She and another relative were so offended they refused to talk to me except for, years later, to blame me for my grandfather being ill.
-- because one of my friends and I hug/are platonically affectionate and apparently this person decided that meant they needed to be affectionate too - to the point of pulling me over to hug them on the couch - and then the day after doing that went off on me about how they hate it, hates the idea of affectionate relationships, and had been lying about enjoying it to make my friend and I happy. They then got pissy because I refused to hug or allow them to elbow/poke/touch me after that. Thankfully this one moved away.

I've just remembered. Shortly after DS1 was born a friend came round with a present. She also explained that we could no longer be friends.

I had named my son a classic but not widely used name and it was the name she'd chosen for her first son. And she didn't want him to know anyone else with the same name.

She wasn't pregnant. She wasn't even in a relationship. As far as I know she never had a son.

DH had a friend who was moved to Hong Kong for work. They had to use their annual leave when they got there as it was March and it needed using up. They wanted DH to come out and spend this holiday with them. This clashes with DDs due date, they couldn’t see why this was an issue, apparently I would be ‘fine on my own’ and i was ‘making a fuss about nothing.’ He didn’t go.
We had a Xmas card that said nothing and nothing else since

SIL got the right hump with us because we didn't go to her 40th birthday party. Which might have been reasonable, if it wasn't that ds and I were in hospital as he'd been born that morning at 35 weeks, and dh wasn't going to do a 5 hour round trip to the party when ds was in SCBU...

For not going on a third date his friend.

I tried calling him and apologising, it just wasn't meant to be. He was heartbroken. Storage, as his friend was fine.

At school, being told by my 'best friend' who constantly bossed me about that I needed to face up to reality and not live with my head in the clouds? Shortly after I went to college and we went to reading festival together. I have no idea why as she ignored me the whole weekend and we never spoke again XD bus trip home was fun!

I honestly don't know what I did... a good friend I worked with about 15 years ago when I was 20ish.

Everything was fine at work on the Friday afternoon at 4pm. I said goodbye and said I might see her out later on. Went to the local nightclub at 10pm, went to say hello and she told me to fuck off. I asked what was wrong and she spat "you fucking know what you did, now fuck off and if you ever try and come near me again I'll fuck you up."

I've seen her a couple of times since at various mutual friend things and she just outright blanks me. Still none the wiser about that. Sometimes I wonder if I should DM her and ask.

Not really. Us Remainers are still here...... still pissed off ..... as the Irish Newspaper said last week, if Brexit is so great, why its the British Government pretending that it's not happening ?

Not to mention getting European nationality for themselves and their families, in some instances ?

15 years ago -

I was studying the same course at college as a friend from secondary school. We were close but her family had a lot of money and I felt uncomfortable going over to her house. She was a bit of a show off.
One weekend (about halfway through our first year) she was thrown from her horse and broke her leg. I didn't go to visit her. It was a very heavy course and I worked evenings/weekends to pay for travel to and from college (my parents couldn't afford to help). I hardly had a minute to myself for 2 years.
When she eventually came back to college - on crutches - she started a horrible rumour about me that spread to our other friends and I was pushed out of the group. Then she left. She literally came back for 2 days to hurt me.
Eventually - weeks later - she admitted to one of our mutual friends that she made the whole thing up.
I know I am probably a terrible friend for not visiting but I was 15 at the time and very shy.
She tried to add my on FB a couple of years ago but I declined.

My DB fell out with me because I didn't visit his PFB often enough.

I was working full time and had an 11 month old, I was also looking after DB's dog whilst they adjusted to having a new baby and he needed walking at least twice a day.
The ridiculous thing was I saw them once a week at my DP's house. We still don't speak many years later!

At the peak of the after Brexit vote a dance friend called me a racist on social media for voting leave...I think there was a lot of remainers on FB, in fact the majority of the people I know were banging on about it. Oh how things have changed!

I don’t understand this one - how have things changed? Is everyone on FB now celebrating all the benefits of leaving the EU, or is it that everyone’s friends again?

My sister - i got divorced, she was furious about it. Blanked me for a couple of years and moved away.

Got back in touch with me out of the blue, to invite me to travel to them (with DC, during a contentious child access period, within a few weeks' notice) to spend Easter. I declined, after wringing my hands over it for a bit, I couldn't risk the delicate truce I then had with my ex.

She announced her pregnancy at Easter... I realized I was supposed to have been present so that she could do some kind of cosy, heartwarming family pic/reaction video, to put on FB regarding how she surprised me with an announcement etc.

Hasn't spoken to me since, she replies to my birthday greetings but that's it. Had another child since as well.

When I was with my ex, he would fall out with me over everything you could possibly think of. A memorable one was because someone called Duncan had been interviewed on the tele, and I had told him once that I had dated someone called Duncan when I was 17.

The day after my wedding my DM suddenly started shouting at me that I did not seem happy, what was wrong with me, this house is full of tension, you’re not happy etc - over and over again. She was enraged, and said many other awful things to me and also about DH.

I told her to leave my house and we’ve not spoken since, that was 7 years ago. Really, in hindsight it was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me. And surely if you genuinely thought your adult child seemed unhappy the day after their wedding would you not raise your concerns gently over a coffee?
Ps I’m happy I got married and had no idea what she was going on about!

Because I’d mentioned that Shelly Duvall has a very hard time while filming The Shining and said it had ruined her life.

The Shining turned out to be their favourite film and they said I’d ruined it for them and they couldn’t watch it again.

When I was a teenager my best friend asked me to buy her a bottle of wine (we had just finished GCSE’s). She didn’t give me the money and my last exam was the day before hers, so I drank it with some other friends and was going replace in time for her to celebrate hers the next day. She saw me when I was a bit merry and had a massive row with me about drinking her wine and the friendship was over after that!! I tried to make up with her, but she was having none of it. We didn’t sort it out until our last day of sixth form.

Just remembered another one. A friend, who was not from the area, asked me about the Alice in Wonderland statue in Warrington, so I told her about Lewis Carroll's connection to nearby Daresbury. She got annoyed, told me she didn't actually want to know and would rather have believed the statue was totally random.

Because I wouldn’t Immediately sell the garden furniture set they gave me 7 years ago to help pay for their holiday

My old manager fell out with me on my last day.

She was an extremely volatile person; she couldn't hide her (frequent) bad moods and when she was in one it but a downer on the whole team.

My last day was near Christmas and the whole office had a Christmas party that started after lunch. We were on our way to the party, in a group, and she was talking about this new film by her favourite director. I said I had seen it the weekend before and hadn't liked it very much. She snapped a bit, but she was a snappy sort of person, so I didn't think much of it.

It became apparent over the course of the party that she was blanking me. We were sitting together in our small team the whole time so it was obvious, and noticed by others.

She left early under the guise of 'going for a cigarette' at the same time as someone who was leaving early. She never came back in, never said she was leaving, never said goodbye to me, never said good luck in your new job, nothing.

I was very young at the time and felt awful, and was upset. A colleague who had noticed her coldness comforted me and told me a few stories about her.

Manager emailed the next day saying that she had left because she 'didn't feel well'. Never saw her again.

2 friends stopped speaking to me 20 years ago because I "stayed friends" with a mutual friend who came out while at Uni. Said friend is now married with 3 DC and we are best friends so they did us a favour really!!

One of my closest friends (along with her mum and sister) stopped speaking to me after her husband committed fraud. Apparently it was all my fault he was arrested because I had a vendetta against him

When I was at secondary school, one of my friends suddenly stopped speaking to me for a week. Discovered eventually she hadn’t realised I am a twin, had fallen out with my sister and was now blanking me, thinking I was her.

@Doingtheboxerbeat

The DW of my EXH fell out with me because I said that according to astrology, she was incompatible with her DH . It was at a party and I was talking shit about my childhood obsession with horoscopes and everyone wanted to know who was compatible with who - total drunken bollocks. She was very upset apparently.

I am not surprised. . Unnecessary and unkind thing to say.

A boyfriend split up with me because his aunt told him I wanted to marry him!
We were both early 30’s, I owned my own home & business, he had moved to the area when we got together (he had family locally so it wasn’t just for me but I was the main reason)
He rented and was working for an agency at a factory, but I was the bad bet!
Lucky escape!!!

My boss refused to speak to me after she had a dream in which I slept with her boyfriend. She's in her 30s fit, firm and beautiful. I'm in my 50s, fat, flabby and not beautiful. She was really horrible to me.

Fell out with my best friend because he got angry that I didn’t hang out with him like I did “before”.

“Before” was prior to my partner being diagnosed with terminal cancer requiring 24/7 care.

He didn’t get it.

My BIL1 sent a photo on the huge family WhatsApp of the mountains saying "sending you some mountain air". I sent back "sending the small of manure" as that's what I could smell. Nephew neighbour (farmer) said "it's not me". I said "it's our horses".

BIL removed himself from all the groups I'm on 2 days later. And then created new groups without me. Months later BIL2 said he thought this might be the issue. I asked BIL1 if that's what had upset him. It is.

I'm the person the organises and hosts Christmas for all 25 members of his family. I'm not sure I'll be over my anger by then.
