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

Need a bit of solidarity right now!

@Queenoftheashes

Hmm this thread has potential. My boyfriend fell out with me last night because he’d put on my silk cap I wear in bed for smooth hair (it looks ridiculous) and I tried to take a photo. He claimed this was cruel and the moment was just for me not for me to laugh at at my leisure. Then he fell out more with me when I couldn’t stop laughing at his silk-capped indignation.

I can see he did n’t want to be photographed and no one likes being laughed at.

Not a friend but a co-worker. Her DH called into the lab after everyone had left for the evening. I told him co-worker had left. Turns out she was waiting in her office and was hugely annoyed that I hadn't told him that. The fact that I did not know she was in her office made no difference. I should have somehow known it. She never spoke to me again after ranting about my "sabotage" of her marriage.

Went to see PS I Love You with my flatmate. On the way there I mentioned having read the book and wondering whether it would have the same unhappy ending (didn't specify what that meant) as the book. Flatmate said I'd ruined the film now. After seeing the (awful) film (in which they had in fact changed the ending), she repeated that I had ruined the film, and didn't speak to me for the next few months (when we were still living together). I just took it as a sign of what sort of person she was, but I think our other two flatmates were bizarrely on her side!

You know, the older I get and the more I hear, I find myself occasionally wanting to "this is Sparta" some people into a giant blender.

I was living with relatives as a fifteen year old. The adults were out one Sunday.

I was feeding the dogs.

According to their daughter, nearly same age as me, I was opening the dog food can "arrogantly" and she started on me. Pushing and shoving ensued and I got my hand cut on the lid of the can.

Fucking bitch, said I started it and I got a mouthful of abuse from her mother.

They didn't speak to me for weeks even though I had no choice in living there.

@eatyourcake

The worst reason is no reason at all. I've been ghosted by two close friends on separate occasions, simply went NC one day, no argument, nothing, over a decade ago. I was going through a tough time as well each time. This really affected me, I don't let people in anymore :(

This made me so sad.

I'll be your friend .

Some people are just bizarre

A work colleague/friend unfriended me on fb and stopped speaking to me at work because I couldn't go to a pub quiz. Nutter. But she is one of those who is either ignoring you or all over you. I'm too old for that shit.

I asked her to put her phone on silent at night and try to be considerate by not talking loudly on it in the middle of the night while we shared a room on a summer exchange thing.
She was also really immature and getting on my nerves but I didn't mention that as it didn't seem to be constructive.

This thread is awesome. A real reminder it's other people's crud that makes them end friendships on the whole and not something people do. Some of these are so outrageous. I mean to end a friendship because someone likes one book over another = they can't cope with people having differing opinions and take everything personally.

Well rid in most cases!!!

One bridesmaid fell out with me a few days before my wedding because she didn’t want my other bridesmaid to be bridesmaid and wanted me to remove her from the guestlist totally

I obviously wasn’t going to do that so the bridesmaid never turned up to my wedding and I’ve not heard from her ever since

Because I had a baby. I was 42 then and she has never acknowledged my daughter's existence. Dd is now 9!

Not a single thing from her since dd's birth despite me texting, calling and sending Xmas cards for the first few years. What a dick as she knew I had had 3 miscarriages before DD.

Because she didn't like the colour of dress I'd chosen for her to wear as my chief bridesmaid.....

.

Well my cousin hasn’t spoken to me properly for a while now and seems very off with me if I try to initiate a conversation with her. I’ve given up trying to make an effort now.

I think she feels personally hurt that I had a termination a few years ago and has “lost respect” for me . I think she is struggling to conceive and I have so much empathy for her about it, but she needs to realise that my life is my life and I don’t have to apologise to her for a choice I made for myself. I keep my distance from her now as she makes me feel like scum.

I was suffering with low mood and a bit of agoraphobia after being sexually assaulted. Friend said I better start paying her more attention or she wouldn’t give evidence against my attacker. I reminded her she had a legal obligation and we are no longer friends.

My (erstwhile) best friend (l'll refer to her as P) has taken umbrage over someone l went out with 45 years ago.

I was best friends with his sister (M) back then, he (R) was a musician and ended up quite well known, where we live, at least.
I lost touch with his sister (M) years ago, but recently she 'found' me again through a mutual friend. Her brother (R) died a long time ago. Decades ago. (M) were very close when l went out with him, and we've been lucky enough to almost pick up where we left off.

When l mentioned this to my friend (P) and she realised who (R) was, she got quite stroppy. Said he was her 'hero' back then and she couldn't believe l'd gone out with him and 'hadn't told her'.
(R) was twelve years older than me, and l'm twelve years older than (P). So he was 24 years older than her and it was hardly likely he'd have gone out with her, even if he'd met her.
The upshot being, that as l live alone, (P) had suggested last year that I could form a Covid bubble with her and her partner (they're engaged and live together).
Which worked fine, until she found out about (R). Whereupon she announced that "mum's been coming over twice a week so you can't".
(P) is 50 years old. And has, in effect, fallen out with me over someone l went out with in my teens, 40 odd years ago....

Went away with 2 friends. Friend A had mentioned going to a pub a long distance away. Friend B was driving and wasn’t keen.
Had a great night in nearby pub and both A and B drinking moving pubs never mentioned. Pub rings final round bell A asks when we are going to other pub (at least 20 minutes away). B points out distance and fact she is over limit. A goes psycho and never speaks to B for rest of weekend or ever again.

Stupidly i stayed friends with A. She told me she was thinking of having elocution lessons. I asked why. Stopped speaking to me.

@eatyourcake had exactly the same happen to us. Best friends lived next door, they moved house- and within 24 hours they had unfriended us from all social media, as well as any mutual friends we had, blocked our phone numbers and never spoke to us again. We never even knew where they moved to.No fall out, no arguments, nothing. Weird!

I'd love that @PuppyPupPups ! What an ace idea 😁

@MindGrapes

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!

This 😂 such utter nonsense

"And while my ex was picking up his pizza from a childminder I'd hired during our divorce, she decided to tell him each and every way in which her life has collapsed in exactly the way I hoped it would"

Was asked by a friend if there were vacancies at my work, I passed her the HR email and NEVER heard from her again . Go figure

I had an abusive boyfriend and when I got out of that I had therapy for it - I was making her sad, I was made redundant and had to skip Xmas gifts - I was mean for not getting her anything (she didn’t get me anything), my mum was ill - I spent too much time caring for her.

She took her dog into the play park (decades ago but even then it wasn’t on, signs everywhere)
A small child said “excuse me but dogs shouldn’t be in here”
Her reply, “and you shouldn’t be so cheeky to grown ups”.
Told her he had a point. Never heard from her again

My childhood best friend stopped talking to me the day I got a full ride for a US-based university for my undergrad. I only found this out four years later when someone finally filled me in that she felt I was too determined to move up in the world and had no place for her. Apparently she would have been fine had it been a less 'flashy' option. As soon as I found out why, I ceased caring: I'd have been so excited for her if it had been the other way around.

She wrote me a letter a year or so ago to ask if we would donate toward her fundraiser to get set up at a local university. In the letter was a joke about the 'alphabet after my name'. I didn't find it quite so funny.
