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

[Rainbowb]

Need a bit of solidarity right now!

That my child was born in the same day as they're. A year apart.

Because I had a baby.

That's literally it. Had been friends for 14 years, found out that I was pregnant and has not spoken to me since. At first I thought it was a joke, but no...

My sister fell out with me because I wouldn’t leave my husband. He was a wonderful man and we had a great marriage. She knew this and often made nasty digs about how spoilt I was. She and her husband had split up and our brother (arsehole) and his wife had split and we remained close to our sil. She wanted me to leave my husband and we could “all be single girls together”. She was deadly serious!

She tried to get back in touch a year after I lost my dear husband. She can fuck right off.

Had a close male friend who was heartbroken after his wife left him.
Saw her in a pub one night with another man and she asked me how friend was.
I said tbh he's gutted and still hopes for a reconciliation.
About a week later friend comes and tells me he's furious with me because she'd told him I'd said he was doing great and wanted her to move on with someone else. 🤯
He believed her and accused me of wanting to sleep with him despite being with someone else. Bloody drama queens.

Sorry. Despite me being with someone else.

My sister over me wanting to dye my hair blond.
We are both naturally dark haired but we stopped talking for 3 years whilst living in the same house.

Cos I didn't go round to her house on a night I'd already previously told her I couldn't make, apparently she'd waited in for me and everything, it was a shame though we were really close and she'd never been odd before, several years later I heard she had lost her dad so sent a card and still never heard anything back.

BIL and my DH's entire family fell out with me because I told BIL he was a horrible cunt after he threw DH over the bonnet of a car and hit him with a fire extinguisher when he said he didn't want to drive him to work as he had a migraine. Apparently I took it too far 😳

I invited my friend round for a drink, she said yes. Then she said she wanted to invite two other friends (hers not mine) to her house instead.

I said no thank you although I like them I don’t want to take my (then) 9 year old out til late. I then got a rant about how it was ok for her to bring her (16!) yo to mine late but not me to take my child out til late and how it was unfair to expect her to treat her child worse than I treated mine.
So:
She accepted my invitation
She wanted to change the evening
She went off on one about not treating a 9 yo and a 16yo the same

No me neither.

We did make up though, she was good enough of a friend for me to pretend it never happened after a bit of baffled silence.

I was once late for a play date in a park (car broke down on the way and the AA had to come and fix it).
Rang friend to tell her I was running late but hoped to be there soon. Arrived 40mins late as she was leaving.
She accused me of making the whole thing up, drove off and refused to speak to me ever again.
Had been friends for about 8 years.

Had a close friend for a few years, she hated the fact I had other friends. Always made everything a contest, would go bug if I didn't text her multiple times a day...She moved away, we travelled to see her, arranged to meet regularly still when we could. I carried on with my life, I met up with other friends etc. She blocked me on all social media. Was the best thing she's ever done! She tried messaging months later after her tantrum, I've continued to ignore her for 3/4 years! I had a lucky escape she was an absolute psycho.

Because of DH’s went for the same job and mine got it!

@LillianBland sorry for your loss 🌸

Childhood friend I grew up with and bent over backwards for decided 8 years ago that I wasn't there enough for her and my life wasn't as bad as hers so didn't want to be my friend anymore :/

The reality is id spent my life in her shadow helping her through bad times so was enjoying finding myself when she left for uni (any time she needed me I was still there) but I ended up relying on alcohol instead of dealing with trauma got pregnant and changed my life around, don't think she liked that she wasn't the centre of my world anymore. She always had to be the centre of attention no matter what the situation was, it was tiring.

My brother doesn't like me because I don't change my car often enough. He is concerned about what 'people' will think about me driving a 9 year old car. We live 10 miles apart and don't even see the same 'people'.

I continued going to playgroup with another friend and our children - who was friends with them first and they had introduced me to, somehow that is really important- after her child got too old for playgroup and started nursery. That’s what it boiled down to. Lots of childish behaviour, tried to discuss the issues many times to be ignored etc, in the end I gave up trying. I was actually going through an extremely difficult time at that point and she made it so much worse. Before she had laid her cards out she repeatedly shot me down when I started to discuss what was going on in my life. I think that’s what hurt the most. I was at one of the lowest points I’ve ever been at, and she was still pretending to be my friend whilst giving it the passive aggressive act. Months later I managed to get her to discuss everything and she just kept shouting about how they had been friends for so many years. No other conversation could be had.

Because I called my black friend a brown nose. He absolutely knew the meaning of it and had even used the expression himself. Said he'd talk to me if I apologised. Nah, you're alright thanks pal.

Colleague/friend fell out with me because I had to check her work and she'd done some things wrong, and I had to keep them aside. Blanked me when I smiled at her and only found out what the issue was after my supervisor told me. I think she expected me to chase her but after a couple months and her realising that wouldn't happen she started talking to me again.

i told a work colleague/friend i was going for a job interview elsewhere. entire office knew i was looking to move on so wasn't a surprise. her role was below mine in the current firm so i actually gave her an early heads up so she could apply for my position once i was gone. anyway, interview goes well. get called back for a second round and its with some of the other finalists...shes there. turns out she liked the sound of it and applied after i told her about it. long story short i got the job (she was vastly under qualified for the role). she never spoke to me directly again (communicated through passive aggressive post it notes and grunts) as i "stole her chance" at a decent life. apparently after i left my old job she interviewed for my position and didnt get it. then told everyone in the office it was because i had black marked her name with the firm. crazy bitch.

On social media, because I said that the state pension should be means tested; and only for those that have worked hard for it- so many nasty comments saying that all old people live in poverty (only one in six do) and making threats.

Child benefit is now means tested- where was the upset about that? 🤔

An old uni friend who I had considered a good friend* asked if she could come and stay with us in a month with her new bf at our new house as bf had friends who lived nearby that he wanted to introduce her to. She didn't particularly hide the fact that it wasn't to see us. I said that this might be tricky as it was a week after my due date (of baby no.1) but I am such a muppet I still didn't say no. She seemed to have forgotten I was pregnant. Never heard from her again. Not even a "congatulations" card.

*inseperable at uni, had since spent holidays together and she had been to our wedding with her 2 children less than a year before

I am feeling like cutting off an old childhood friend for her ridiculous FB posts promoting every conspiracy theory under the sun

Lost one friend because I got an interview for a place on a course and she didn’t, and another wouldn’t speak to me for months because I made the mistake of saying I had an electric shower when her gas boiler broke. I was apparently rubbing it in her face! I had actually offered her the use of it!

Friend wanted me to go into Our Price and buy a Bryan Adams album for her, with her money, as she was too embarrassed to be seen buying it. I thought she was joking, laughed and she stomped off, never to speak to me again. Bizarre.

@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.

What did your mum say, @VivienScott? Did she ever know about that weird (and potentially violent) falling out?
