Because I didn't go to her wedding as I was miscarrying.

sueelleker · 06/08/2020 08:46

@Iverunoutofnames Do you think she was hoping to be invited to stay with you?

sueelleker · 06/08/2020 09:09

@Nurgleturtle I've got a few full stops you can have if you've run out!

mogtheexcellent · 06/08/2020 09:13

Because I didnt ask about how the scattering ashes as sea for her DF went. 7 months after he had passed. On my wedding day. She was my bridesmaid as well.

People are odd.

Getting sick/ disabled and house/bedbound has meant I have lost all my friends.
As my health has deteriorated especially over the past 5 years, (3 coming up 4years bedbound) I haven’t been ‘fallen out’ with, rather I’ve fallen out of their lives, I can no longer do favours or go out, and friends visiting have to be shortish visits as that’s all I can manage so they stopped coming.

All my friends lives have moved on so I’ve been forgotten.

If you’ve got sick/ disabled friends, please, please check in on them from time to time, they don’t turn down your invites because they don’t want to see you, they just can’t, but still very much value you & your friendship.

@sueelleker that would be great thank you, shame I'm severely dyslexic, wasn't aware that the gramme police had to take a turn on a pointless post

sueelleker · 06/08/2020 09:25

@Maria1921 Does she have weight problems too? Perhaps she was annoyed that yours had another reason apart from overeating/underexercising.

highlandshortbread · 06/08/2020 09:29

Because I had a better job than him.

GinDrinker00 · 06/08/2020 09:52

Because I wouldn’t give them money. I’d understand this more if they hadn’t previously stolen £300 of my children’s money off them. Hmm Their loss! Smile

Iverunoutofnames · 06/08/2020 09:56

@sueelleker no, she wanted DH to have a 2 week jolly with her in Hong Kong, she had zero interest in spending time at ours esp with a baby on the way

GinDrinker00 · 06/08/2020 09:59

Another one a family member fell out with me because I wouldn’t get off the internet (back in the days of dial up) so she could ring my GM who was staying with us at the time. I was 10 at the time and the phone call wasn’t important.
They still don’t bother with me to this day. 🤷🏻‍♀️

itsgettingweird · 06/08/2020 10:03

Mine is a story where I still literally have no idea Grin

I was there all the time for someone going through a difficult time. Constant support after working all day to take them to sort out something for family.

Then kept getting odd attitude when phoning and texting. Then FB post about how their kids don't need people coming into and out of their lives.

Then post about kids forgetting certain people already.

Then a really shorty lengthy FB message about how I'd only helped them out for my benefit and her kids didn't need someone in their lives who would come and go.

I'd not seen them for 3 days and they'd cancelled out meeting 2 days previously about 30 seconds before the FB post.

Spent far too much time and energy wondering about it. But considering she's done it to 6 other people I know of since I can safely accept she's just batshit Grin

endlessstrife · 06/08/2020 10:50

Absolute decades ago now, when I was 14... I wouldn’t show my friend my maths homework, because I knew it was all wrong. My dad had helped me!! She never spoke to me again, except to be nasty. It was a double blow because my homework was indeed....completely wrong!

Playingchesswithpigeons · 06/08/2020 11:01

Ex sil - She wanted me to go to the same university she did. That uni wasn't accredited with BPS. Chosen uni had degree with (Hons) Birthday present's stopped for the children first, so I didn't reciprocate. The next family gathering brother stated why she was so annoyed. She was difficult at her best. Best decision she ever made.

Jojofjo44 · 06/08/2020 12:23

@GlamGiraffe i'd fall out with you for not liking viennetta. Heathen.

Not even the mint one? :) :)

Esspee · 06/08/2020 12:57

Apparently I got dropped because I was always right. ? 😳

RyanBergarasTeeth · 06/08/2020 14:00

I suffered a serious injury after being assaulted by a resident i cared for in a care home. I put a photo of the injury on facebook with the caption "another day in the office". Now i never ever said the name of the care home or took any other photos other than the more serious of my injuries and someone who had been my friend throughout college told me i was a vile bitch and if it was her relative she would sue me and i was a disgrace taking the piss out of mentally ill people and how her mom knew so much more than me as she had been a carer for longer. It was all very very bizarre not once did i mention the person, the name of the work, what had happened or took the piss out of mental illness. It was all very strange havent spoken since its been about 4 years now. She was a weirdo anyway fell out and completely ignored me at college for 2 weeks as well for literally no reason.

lampshadery · 06/08/2020 14:02

@RyanBergarasTeeth that was very very unprofessional of you. I'm not surprised it pissed people off

RyanBergarasTeeth · 06/08/2020 14:03

Whatever i was fully entitled to make an online documentation of very serious injuries i sustained at a place that didnt allow you to fill out accident reports. She was a cunt end of story she still is in fact and has since cut off everyone she used to know.

lampshadery · 06/08/2020 14:51

@RyanBergarasTeeth In what way were you fully entitled to make an online documentation?

RyanBergarasTeeth · 06/08/2020 15:19

Maybe in that it was my own body being shown. And that not once had i ever said what my job was/where i worked/who with and the fact that i nearly lost my arm that day and had been refused an accident book and told to not make an issue out of almost losing an arm? Nothing unprofessional or nasty in that. Instead more fucked up that anyones concern over such a serious injury was... Well what exactly im not sure? That someone might stalk me to find out where i live and find out who did it to me? Yeah ok.

Tink2007 · 06/08/2020 15:36

I was friends with a girl from Secondary school and we remained friends for years after. We fell out because I said......I cannot abide Katie Price. She went completely batshit, insulted me, my husband and our then 4 year old daughter and we never spoke again.

It’s sounds like it’s a massive drip feed but honestly it isn’t. That was literally it.

PablosHoney · 06/08/2020 16:06

It’s only unprofessional if you have your place of work listed on FB or mentioned any identifying details which she didn’t.

India999 · 06/08/2020 16:13

I used to work in a bank. A work friend lost a really important document (that literally had ££££ tied up in it) and all desks were searched by management. We didn't have 'ownership' of desks and would lock our stuff away in different desks on different days. The desk I was sat in that day had her folder in from the previous day, and the document was found in there. I had nothing to do with it other than being sat next to the desk 😆😆. She never spoke to me again! Still, no loss.

It's not even an accident. It's a violent incident and legally assault.
