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

Need a bit of solidarity right now!

A relative had a big birthday bash- 200 miles away. It was on the Sunday so we stayed in a hotel the night before, took champagne, presents. Stayed as long as we could but had to leave before other people to get home as had school and work the next day. And of course couldn't even drink the sodding champagne as driving. She texted vitriolically (sp?) the next day saying we'd broken up the party by leaving early. Never spoke to her again.

A friend asked to "borrow" DHs sperm so she and her wife could have a baby and we fell out when DH refused. Funny that...

[Springersrock]

Years ago a friend stopped speaking to me because we moved away. They told me I was making the biggest mistake of my life and would be back in 6 months. Nearly 15 years later we still live here and she hasn’t spoken to me since

Currently, a friend isn’t speaking to me because I broke lockdown rules. I didn’t, I followed all the actual rules and guidance, I just didn’t adhere to her made up, ever changing, contradictory, nonsensical rules. I also committed the crime of not agreeing with her posting FB ‘shaming’ photos and when one of her posts about her neighbours ‘constant stream’ of visitors turned out to be nurses tending to her neighbour’s dying mother and turned nasty, I suggested she gave it a rest but apparently, the abuse she was getting was all my fault

My daughter has always struggled with mental health and anxiety but early on in lockdown she got so bad I was worried she was going to end up having a full on breakdown or do herself some harm. DD has a pony and it’s always been a bit of a haven for her so DD and I would go to our yard together in the evenings to sort pony out - friend was adamant this was against the rules (it wasn’t), when I explained my reasons for taking her, she told me she didn’t give a shit, DD’s mental health didn’t matter, and suicides/breakdowns as a result of all this was just one of those things.

She can fuck off after that, I’ve blocked her everywhere but she’s too busy bad mouthing me as a Covidiot to notice

Because my kids eat olives.

Seriously - that was the criteria for them cutting contact with me and my kids completely (our kids got on well together and were similar ages and we're distant relatives). But my kids eating olives and all sorts of other stuff - but mainly olives - was the tipping point.

Same friend, twice (can't believe I carried on for so long with her as am quite no nonsense but I was younger and less confident)
First time, I had had to cancel going to a weekend away for her birthday with a group of friends as I had a new job and had to work that weekend (it involved a promotion so i couldn't get out of it) I offered to pay for my hotel place still so she wouldn't be out of pocket, I had already paid for flight. She said she would try and get someone else, which she did, a new guy she was seeing. She said if I could just pay the fee to change the flight into his name, he would reimburse me for everyhting else. I did, and woke up to long messages from her the next day ranting about how rude I was to expect him to pay anything when I had let her down and pulled out. To this day, they've never paid me back and he got a free flight and hotel stay with her (he's now her husband) But she's still apparently mad with me about it?!
Second time, she had approached me to make friends after first incident and I cautiously went along with it (no apology or reference to previous incident) She was very demanding and kept asking me to do things depsite the fact we now lived 3 hours apart. I also worked weekends so time to see friends and family was limited. Eventually we found a date that worked and I went to see her and freebie guy who she now lived with. He brought a friend (A) along who took a liking to me. Fast forward a couple of months and A and I started to really like each other, in quite a serious way. She was furious that I wasn't telling her all the details of our relationship (apparently as we met through her she had a right to know everything), kept telling A I didnt fancy him at first sight (true but irrelevant by then) and was really upset I could occasionally find time to see him and that I should be prioritising her. Ended up with her writing A a huge email about how awful I am and removing and blocking me on everything. I never quite knew why I was so awful just for dating someone but she did have a habit of overreacting about everything, inc blocking her husband from speaking to most of his family due to perceived slights towards her. I'm baffled as to why I kept going so long with her now.

[FudgeBrownie2019]

@GlamGiraffe

Because I dont like Vienetta😯
The other person was so outraged and upset she left in tears. We could never truly bond.

This is genuinely the best (and only) reason to fall out with a friend. Brilliant!

[Tootiredforsleep]

I had a friend fall out with me when my husband was diagnosed with autism, she was autistic and I think she felt somehow threatened by it. The same friend also fell out with me when my mum was dying so tbh I think she just couldn’t cope when someone else had any drama in their life

[FudgeBrownie2019]

The only one I can think of is when I was sat in a friends car and her DS piped up that she had called my DS "a nasty little fucker". The look on her face was hilarious because it was very clearly true - I walked home and she never spoke to me again. The oddest thing I've ever experienced with a friend.

[Iminaglasscaseofemotion]

I got the same hair cut as her sister , and when I was younger someone else just so she could bulky be for years. We had basically been best friends.

[Feralkidsatthecampsite]

Haven't spoken to a close relative since 27th December after they rocked up late and aggressive on xmas day, announced they weren't doing Xmas, ate a huge lunch, took over £250 of gifts home and left my ds5 sobbing after shooting him at point blank range in the face with a Nerf gun and a fake hard bullet. No doubt telling people I am the Baddie for not contacting them since..

[ForraM]

I put a hand on my best friends shoulder/back of neck when he was upset, and he told me I was always touching him inappropriately and it was disrespectful to him and his gf .

10 year friendship down the drain as I could never get to the bottom of what was really going on, even after they broke up.

[Toothsil]

One friend has totally cut me off because my husband and I are friends with someone her husband doesn't like! He and my husband were very close friends for years and he made no secret of the fact that he didn't like the other guy but suddenly he had a huge drunken go at the other guy on the phone one night, unprovoked, and then both he and the wife stopped speaking to my husband. Two years later the wife has suddenly stopped speaking to me too, after talking on messenger every single day, multiple times, for 7 years.

Another friend stopped speaking to me at university. We lived in a beautiful old halls of residence which had gorgeous rooms, all different from each other, and in the years after 1st year, we got to put in a choice of our 3 preferences. 4th years got their choices done first and then they worked down the years. I wasn't really close with this woman but we were friends. We hadn't discussed our room choices, we weren't THAT close. It was our 3rd year, I got my first choice of room. She suddenly stopped speaking to me but I had no idea why until a mutual friend told me that she had wanted the room I got 😂 I really had no idea she wanted that room, there was nothing that would give me a clue that she was after that room.

One of my bridesmaids hasn't spoken to me since our wedding, I can't even remember why because I didn't understand at the time - it was something to do with lending her some CDs!

And another friend has cut me off because our children fell out - they were friends again when the mum was still having a huge go at me!

[Aposterhasnoname]

Not me, but DH.

DH had been seeing his friends wife’s sister very casually, after his. divorce. Just as friends really, but once or twice with benefits. The sister ditched him because he wasn't ready for anything serious, he was very clear about that from the start with her.

Fast forward two, yes, two, full years, when he met me and we started a serious relationship. Friend fell out with him because he had obviously lied to the sister about not being ready for a proper relationship.

[JBizz]

At school a girl fell out with me because she didn't agree that dandelions were weeds

[uglyface]

Because I was on a pre-booked weekend away with DP when it was her birthday meal. The weekend away had been booked for nine months; the birthday meal two weeks. We are both in our 30s and have children of our own.

She eventually ‘forgave’ me when it became clear that I wasn’t engaging in repentance, but we are much less close now and mainly spend time together for our toddlers’ friendship.

[FrenchBoule]

I gave my friend a “bad look” and she blanked me out since. We’re no longer friends as she even refused to answer to “hello”.

[zingally]

My sister's fiancee fell out with me because I "didn't ask if I could have his old ipad after he bought a new one."

Fortunately, I knew him well enough by then that I could read him like a book. He WANTED me to ask, so that he could hold it over my head for all eternity, like "remember that time I gave you my iPad?! Wasn't I NICE?!"

I stayed completely, stoney-faced silent, and he then, in high dudgeon, begrudgingly gave it to the small-child daughter of an acquaintance of his, so he could show how NICE HE IS, SEE?!

He was FUMING and didn't speak to me for MONTHS. It was delightful.

[CoconutsHaveWaterInThem]

I mentioned that she may need to get a covid test as a precautionary if a family member she lives with has coronavirus (awaiting her results) 🙄

[vanillandhoney]

For no reason I can think of. Honestly.

We used to work together, stayed in touch when I left. She then messaged me on Facebook about TV programmes and I recommended Friday Night Dinner. She said thanks. Three days later I went to message her and found I'd been blocked and deleted from all her social media

I can only assume she didn't like my taste in TV shows!

[MitziK]

One person cut me off after I'd attended her wedding reception. I don't know why, all I can think of is that I couldn't afford more than a £20 Next Gift Card, rather than the £250 plus she was getting from everybody else (wealthy family, only child, new husband was minted - bought her a brand new Range Rover after they'd been together for six weeks).


Other than that, I was cut off by a sibling when I told them that our mother had physically attacked me with a weapon and after nearly 40 years of her punching, slapping, kicking and stamping and I'd just found out from the DDs that she'd also done it to the eldest five years previously when I was in hospital, I was fucking sick of it. Should have gone to the police instead, as I'd have still been cut off, but at least the evil witch would have been made to squirm for at least ten minutes before the 'I'm a poor little defenceless old lady, I don't know why she makes these wicked things up' got her out of trouble again.

So yeah, being cut off for not reporting violent criminal offences but telling the truth about them is probably the most ridiculous.

[FrenchtoEnglish]

I chucked my tenant out of my flat to let my best friend live there because his wife had kicked him out. I had to give the tenant a month's rent and lost 300 EUR for breaking the contract with the agency. BF then said there was a mouse in flat. I was 800 miles away. I asked him to buy a trap, he wouldn't. So, I called the mouse man. 350 EUR (for him to come and put a fucking trap down). The tenant had had the electricity/water/gas cut off when he left (normal). BF had to take a day off work to get it put back on (normal). He wouldn't do it. Didn't want to take a day's holiday. So, it all got turned on 3 weeks after moving in. He then said he wouldn't be paying the first month's rent because he'd had to stay with a mate because I'd rented him a flat with no amenities and mice. When I explained that I was massively out of pocket and had to pay the mortgage, he wouldn't accept it. I hadn't asked him for a deposit or a guarantor or any of the things I would usually ask for. I ended up making him pay for the first month and two months after that, he moved out. He hasn't been my friend since and tells all our mutual friends that I'm one of those "bastard absentee landlords") and that I wasn't a good friend during the lowest point in his life. The whole thing broke my heart.

Not buying something for myself in a shop on our very first shopping trip together. This was because I didn't have the money to buy it. Not without spending my bus fare home.20p a week just didn't go that far. I think it was a certain type of hair clip, but I can't remember. I wouldn't have been able to use it either. Apparently I was ruining the trip for her. I was very happy to watch and admire her buying stuff for myself, but that wasn't good enough. (I also had a couple of 2p pieces for an emergency phone call home, but I didn't let on about them.)
We were 11.
It actually taught me that some people will be very nasty if what you say or do damages the image they have of themselves, regardless of whether your actions are reasonable or not. Quite a lots of the examples on this thread come into that category.

[theBelgranoSisters]

As a teen my friend cold shouldered me after i didn't accept the mountain bike he'd stolen me for my birthday.

[Couchbettato]

I fell pregnant 3 weeks after she did. Neither of us knew that the other was pregnant till about 10 week later. She claims I stole her thunder.
