I started working 😳 and they couldn't see me in the middle of the day like we had been doing.

Rollercoaster21 · 05/05/2021 13:37

Because I cancelled a couple of nights out when my kids were ill 🙄

@KatherineofTarragon

I can’t believe what I’m reading. You must be a very sad person to have a grudge on a child minder decades ago. The fact that you would still have words if you saw her. Absolutely sickening. I hope you get your karma as well.

I was unknowingly volunteered to hand deliver something to someone on my street. When I found out I was a bit narked but did it - only I had to do it after work because y'know WORK. She was fuming when she found out, I think because it meant because of the timing I handed thing to the person's partner and not the actual recipient? It wasn't anything like court papers unless they're frequently disguised as posh hand made confectionery. We haven't spoken since and that was at least a decade ago...

Oh and having children. A single friend still fuming at me that I can't drop everything and go and get pissed with me like I did when I was 20.

She passed on through friends that she didn't want to be friends with me as she had been "the ugly friend" in a twosome and hadn't wanted me to feel like that. LOL A - I wasn't ugly (no supermodel but hey) and B - I was only inviting her out as I felt sorry for her as she had no social life at all!!!

@RichPetunia

Showing my age. One of my friends was an ABBA fan. She fell out with me when Blondie got to number one 😁.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
3babylady · 05/05/2021 13:56

Similarly to lots of others close friends from age 5 went right through school together, she had a baby and became a single mum at 16 I was there everyday to help, she then got pregnant again at 18 and was left again a single mum to 2 DD's, when I told her I was pregnant to my now DH (complete shock at 20 was on contraception) she told me if it was a boy she would never speak to me again.
I had a boy.
We never spoke again Confused but I was more hurt by the fact I'd been there for her through thick and thin and now when I might of needed her she dropped me.
I still remember our last text exchange it went;

Me - OMG I found out today what I'm having!!

Her - A boy?

Me - Yes! I'm so shocked

Her - ....I can't believe you.

Me - What?

Her - you did this on purpose

Me HmmHmmHmmHmmHmm

So in her mind I literally had a son to spite her.

CirqueDeMorgue · 05/05/2021 13:58

A male friend once fell out with me because I told him I'd had an abortion in the past.

DespairingHomeowner · 05/05/2021 14:00

This is a thread to enjoy later!

  • girl I vaguely worked with. Was annoyed when I didn't want to go on a hen weekend to Milan with 11 or so of her friends I'd never met ... I was annoyed that she invited me to the hen do but not the wedding!
NoProblem123 · 05/05/2021 14:00

I THINK it was because I was 15 minutes late to her house once. But I’m really not sure.

Work friend who I became close to, and went through a lot with. Really liked her.

Said I’d be there at x time - arrived at x:15 - she never opened her door (she was in and never drove), wouldn’t pick up her phone, and never spoke to me again.

Oh yes she did, I saw her by the magazines in Sainsburys and she was acting like the intervening 10 years hadn’t happened and asked me to call round.
Err no thanks!

ArrrMeHearties · 05/05/2021 14:02

Ex employer fell out with me 2 years ago after I'd finally had enough of his inappropriateness at work and left my job. He expected me to stay as it was just a laugh and harmless between us... going home from work close to tears and having anxiety about going is no way to live a life

Pyewackect · 05/05/2021 14:04

I never got on with my mother in the first place. She was an abusive bully. 10 years ago she stopped talking to me. I have no idea why and care even less.

Pogmaasal · 05/05/2021 14:06

As a child, because I didnt own a horse and the new girl did, we couldnt all be friends, no, I was dropped like a hot cake and barely even looked at again.

Then more recently because my car broke down and I wasn't able to help drive her kids around while she went on holiday. I was no longer tripping over myself to do stuff for her, therefore I was no longer useful

Bloodybridget · 05/05/2021 14:09

She cancelled a date at the last minute because she was upset at my suggesting it, because I was "assuming she'd be free to see me at short notice". We'd been friends for nearly 40 years but this was the last straw, I haven't seen her since.

FangsForTheMemory · 05/05/2021 14:11

Friend with quite a lot of monitors spare. She’d put off buying her first mobile forever and when she bought one, it was unbelievably basic, cheap and tacky. I don’t remember what I said but I think it was on the lines of ‘why didn’t you get a smartphone? You can afford it.’

Diamondnights · 05/05/2021 14:13

@sand2345

I was rude to her in her dream and let her down. Apparently she can't trust me not to let her down again... Hmm
I think this one wins!

Totally agree. What the childminder did was certainly not ok in any way shape or form but that is one hell of a grudge to keep going. It seems almost sadistic now.

My sister fell out with me because I got engaged the same year she did. (now) DH and I were already engaged with the venue booked when she went on holiday with her new boyfriend (6 months) and came back engaged.

Put a crimp on our announcement - planned for a meal out for my birthday 2 weeks after the holiday - so we said nothing and let her have her moment. We had to speak up a couple of months later so we could let people know the date of ours and make sure hers wasn't the same week and she didn't speak to me for months. She told my parents and siblings that they had to choose which wedding to support.

She contacted me just before her wedding as I didn't plan to go and my parents told her that fact (I didn't get an invitation so why would I think I was welcome?). I think she had a moment of clarity or something.

I love her, but I will not put up with her shit.

MindGrapes · 05/05/2021 14:18

Absolutely pissing myself at the idea that a grown man remembers what he had for tea for a few months when he was two years old! Grin

MrKlaw · 05/05/2021 14:19

I was mean to my wife in her dream, and when we woke up I woudln't apologise

DShrute · 05/05/2021 14:22

@Tappering

Hmm, this has bored Daily Mail journo written all over it.

Why don't you share your experience OP?

Think you are right
AdobeWanKenobi · 05/05/2021 14:25

Because I had the audacity to share a post on Facebook when his brother had a mental breakdown and went missing.
He and brother had fallen out, anyone who showed any kind of concern was swiftly deleted.
TBH he showed his true colours and anyone who couldn't show a little concern and kindness wasn't someone I wanted to be friends with anyway.

MaisyMary77 · 05/05/2021 14:26

Sending a moonpig card. Apparently it wasn’t personal enough. In my defence we were in first lockdown, I live miles from any shop and I had no stamps. Took me longer to design the moonpig card and decide what to put in it than it has ever taken me to choose a normal card.

Still1nLove · 05/05/2021 14:27

Friend of 33 years isn’t talking to me because I didn’t want to meet with her and her dd, who had just had a positive covid test! I explained that, apart from her ignoring the test and putting people at risk, I’m self employed and can’t risk losing the little income I have. Apparently im taking a risk being out anyway 🤨

oppositeofbubbly · 05/05/2021 14:29

As a student one of my 3 housemates screamed at the rest of us and barely spoke to us for the rest of the year because we decided to cook together on Fridays and apparently it was 'too stressful catering for that many people'. We'd already agreed she could just bring dessert each week as she didn't enjoy cooking, and if she'd spoken to us we wouldn't have minded her just chipping in with a couple of quid instead. Instead she refused to discuss the situation and sat awkwardly eating her microwaved meal for one whilst we had our 3 course shared meal.
