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

[Rainbowb]

Need a bit of solidarity right now!

I kissed the boy she fancied. Except I didn't know she fancied him. Nobody did. She had kept it a secret. And actually, I didn't kiss him, he kissed me. Because she had been bothering him all evening and he wanted her to leave him alone. And I had no idea he was about to kiss me. One minute we were dancing as we had done a million times before, the next moment he'd jumped into my mouth. When I asked her later how anyone was supposed to know she fancied him if she hadn't given any indication, she said I should always check with her before I get off with anyone, even if I didn't think they'd ever even met. Just in case.

A couple of months later, he came out as gay.

[Springersrock]

Oh, the religion one has reminded me

One of DH’s old friends (they were close for years) did an Alpha Course and became a born again Christian

Kept on nagging at DH to do it too, DH absolutely not interested, politely declined a few times, bloke kept on and so DH told him no a bit more forcefully but still pretty polite about it. Bloke took offence, hasn’t spoken to DH since.

[MaintainTheMolehill]

A close friend who I worked with and socialised with weekly stopped talking to me suddenly and has never spoken to me again.

She used to give me a lift to the train station from work. It wasn't an arrangement we would just be leaving work at the same time. One night after finishing she was still on a call so I started walking to the station. Just before I got there she pulled over in her car and told me that I had been ignorant and I had really upset her (I was a bit shy and didn't like presuming I would be getting a lift).

I worked there for a few more years and she blanked me even when I was pregnant and on my last day there. It still annoys me.

[Iamclearlyamug]

Someone called me something extremely personal and rude on social media under the guise of a joke, and when I called her out (very politely given the insult) she went mad, told me I was a twat who needed to grow up and get over herself (oh the irony) and then blocked me 😂😂 it was wonderful, like the trash took itself out - and I didn’t like her anyway 😁😁

[EoinMcLovesCakeJumper]

I sent her a supportive email when she wanted to change jobs 😂 She sent me a long email complaining about how crap her employers were and how they'd actively discouraged her from applying for a promotion which had recently come up, and did I think she ought to look for something else? I used to work with her at the same place, so I knew what they were like. I replied telling her that she should definitely start looking around because she was too good for that place and she wouldn't progress as long as she stayed there. I got radio silence for about three months, then she sent me a reply which said she couldn't be my friend any more because I'd said she was shit at her job. I have no idea how she got that from what I wrote! But she's apparently cut off other people on equally flimsy pretexts, so I think it's her problem really.

My oldest school friend, who I lived with for five years after uni, suddenly started blanking me when I tried to contact her. I found out years later, through a friend of her sister's, that she didn't want me to meet her cool new work friends in case I told them about any of the stupid shit we used to get up to at school. She had tried to build a new image for herself and I wouldn't have fitted into that if I'd let slip about the games of Shag Marry or Kill that we used to play on our free periods!

[Bells3032]

Cos I owed her a Euro apparently. Went on a girls holidays with two friends to my grandparent's house in Spain. I covered the rental car as well. She continually underpaid her part of every bill that came. on the third day the change from our lunch bill came and i split it. She kicked up a massive fuss that I had underpaid her change by a Euro.....She stormed off and went to stay with her parents who were staying in a hotel nearby. Never spoke to her since.

[Buccanarab]

Not me but my wife's former best friend stopped speaking to her because my wife's aunty was diagnosed with terminal cancer at the same time she got pregnant. Didn't want it overshadowing her special time apparently.

[BrassyLocks]

My brother because I enjoyed the Scarlet Pimpernel which sets me on the wrong side of history and clearly I'm the bourgeois scum of the earth 😂

[Imissmoominmama]

@Ginfordinner- I asked for a Donny Osmond mug for Christmas and was given a David Cassidy one instead.

I cried .

[Pantheon]

A friend (no longer) fell out with me because my emails were too short...

[BrassyLocks]

@EoinMcLovesCakeJumper 'shag, marry or kill' I'm so gonna play that 😂😂 Really enjoying this thread.

[Thelnebriati]

She spread a rumour I had stolen her boyfriend. I hadn't, we weren't involved; and in any case he wasn't her boyfriend.

[HalloumiSalad]

My cousin, also my best friend, so together 20 years, as course as two people can be. She was at uni and had a boyfriend, he became my friend as they were together a long time but they both lived miles from me. They broke up and she was worried about him as he was taking it hard and she was worried he might do something silly. She asked me to keep in touch with him to give him support as his friends were 'useless'. So I did, not lots but occasional phone calls, enough to know he wasn't likely to top himself. My relationship with her was unchanged, we were close, spoke often etc. Then she dropped me out of the blue, I spent a year begging her to tell me what the matter was, after a year of heartache I gave up. Saw her at her brothers milestone birthday a couple of years later where she gave me a stiff hug and pinned a fake smile on. I find out later she had cheated on the heart broken boyfriend and he in his anger took to bring very rude to her when they saw each other (uni campus so crossed paths regularly). I had no idea about her cheating or his being rude but somehow she joined some dots and I was history. It was very hurtful.

[EoinMcLovesCakeJumper]

@BrassyLocks you have to choose either three complete fitties or three total mingers, though, otherwise it's too easy 😂

The friend who fell out with me over the email also fell out with another friend of ours because the other friend started seeing a man who stroppy friend was widely believed to fancy. In fact, she was gay and had never been the slightest bit interested in him. But she still felt that he should have been off-limits to anyone who knew her, as they weren't to know she was using him as a sort of smokescreen for her sexuality.

[OdaMaeBrown]

A friend broke up with her boyfriend but they didn't tell anyone for a few weeks.

Then she decided to make the break up "Facebook official" while she was on holiday, without letting her ex boyfriend know.

I happened to be with the ex boyfriends sister that night who asked me if I knew about it. I confirmed I already knew but hadn't said anything as they weren't telling people. The Sister then rang the ex boyfriend to check he was okay.

My friend stopped speaking to me because I confirmed what she put on Facebook herself. This must have been 12 years ago. She never spoke to me again.

[VivienScott]

My brother won’t speak to me because my mum served him a dinner that he didn’t like one Easter at a family gathering I wasn’t at. When I tried to talk to him about it, he called me a w@nker (which is odd as I’m female and it’s normally an insult to a man) and threatened to punch me if I spoke to him again. I have absolutely no idea what happened, he just flipped out over a dinner that I was nothing to do with.

[aquashiv]

My opposing political opinion lost me a few acquaintances on FB. GOOD RIDDANCE

[Gottalovesummer]

Because I told her I couldn't meet up as my son was ill, and suggested an alternative date. She ranted and raved that I'd messed up weeks of arrangements for her as she'd now have to rearrange all her other social events.

Never spoke to me again. This had been a 15 year close friendship.

I'm still baffled.

[Lifeisconfusing]

I told my friend that her bf had tried it on with me I wanted her to know as I loved her and cared and didn’t want him to mess her around. She was furious with me calling me jealous etc it was all my fault she stopped speaking to me but stayed with him then married him. I’m still the worse person alive to her. 100% he tried it on with me funnily enough before all that I actually really liked him and was happy for her.

[PrepperJack]

Because her biological clock was ticking and she decided she would be marrying her new boyfriend and having kids with him, no matter what. She didn't want me slipping up and mentioning things she'd got up to in the past and putting him off.

[julybaby32]

I mean, very happy to watch her buying stuff for herself.

[Modestandatinybitsexy]

Because me and my bf (now DH) asked her boyfriend to pay his share of the petrol money for a 700 mile round trip.

Apparently because her dad had driven her most of the way, filled up his car with petrol and lent it to her for the week meant her bf didn't owe us anything. No matter that we had done most of the driving on holiday too.

Woke up the morning after to all our friends - including her bf - gone. Then they all blanked me on a level results day too. Haven't spoken since.

[CatbearAmo]

When we sent out our wedding invitations, we wrote just adults names on the invites and sent a separate text to all of our friends with children. We explained that they could of course bring their kids to the wedding if they couldn't or didn't want to organize childcare. However, we emphasized that the wedding wouldn't be very child friendly. The whole thing took place next to massive open water, which was our main concern. There wouldn't be much to do for kids but we would provide coloring books and pencils.
Most parents agreed it wasn't very practical and we did end up with just two kids at the wedding.

One couple from my dhs hometown (where the wedding was held) didn't even rsvp, and we were secretly relieved because they had caused a big argument at another friend's wedding the previous year. We just invited them because they were part of a group of dhs school friends who had all been invited and it would have seemed weird not to.

The next time we visited the town we had our newborn dd with us and sent a group text to all of the friends inviting them for a day out. The dh of the couple said that they would only meet us if we left our dd at home, as obviously we didn't think children were important at events. In fact, they didn't want to meet our dd at all. Haven't spoken to them since.

[SultanasofPing]

A friend asked me to be her bridesmaid - was thrilled, very excited for her, went to a couple of fittings etc then one I couldn't make because I was really ill - I apologised profusely and offered to make myself available at any other time once I was better. Have never heard from her since and she blocked me on everything
Bizarre

[Isthisnothing]

Because I asked her what made her late. I was having a lunch for a few friends in my new place. She ignored messages asking should we wait (not aggressive or anything, I wasn't too bothered) finally texted when she was over an hour late - no apology or explanation and just said she would be there in half an hour. Two hours later she arrived, no apology or explanation but did say "I can't believe you actually had food". This was very strange as it was a lunch invite and I do like to cook / entertain.

She stayed around forty minutes then phoned her boyfriend and loudly asked him where he was and arranged to meet him. As I was walking her to the lift I casually asked what had held her up, she spun around and yelled she was so sorry to inconvenience me and stormed off.

She then ignored all my messages and calls over the next few weeks asking what I had done to upset her and saying I missed her.

She decided to emigrate with boyfriend and had a going away party and all of a sudden broke her silence and summoned me on the day of the party for a sorting it out chat. She told me she was far too busy to meet halfway so I would have to come to the party venue an hour before it started. I said sorry but on such short notice I can't, I have committed to stuff today but perhaps we could talk later on or I could meet her tomorrow? No reply. I went to the party, wished her well and left fairly early before the night got messy.

She got utterly hammered, bawled crying to anyone who would listen that I had refused to prove to her by arriving to the party early that I wanted to fix our friendship. Something had happened the day she was late but she didn't want to say what.

I messaged her the next day asking could we meet up and talk. She wrote back saying she had too much to drink the night before and I had my chance.

Ok.

She is back in the country now. I completely avoid her and her drama.
