After being ‘told off’ in front of a group to leave group after

[31133004Taff]

Group activity. I OK’d it with assistant group lead to basically go to the loo. I inadvertently caused a 5 minute delay in the group activity. It’s a social group. When I returned, I was told off by the group lead in front of the whole group.

When told off, I agreed not to do this again. I felt awful.

I’d really like the activity and if I left there is no alternative locally.

How do I get past the humiliation of being told off. WWYD?

Perhaps this group lead is too hard core for me? Perhaps the lead was acting in response to complaints from the group?

Well we always think too late but I'd have said at the time I was told its OK. Why don't you make your own seperate group if you like the activities, maybe you could make a more friendlier and laidback group that others maybe appreciate more, maybe they feel scared to need a wee in that group too

It will be cycling. All the world's greatest twats are cyclists.

Sounds like the twattishness of cycling

Oh god, I’ve just realised I thought it was an online group 😂😂 I need to get out of my house, I thought she’d been told off over whatsapp!

Is this why the Indy car 500 didn’t go off as quick as I thought it would?

You like the activity, it isn’t otherwise available locally, so would ignore your annoyance and embarrassment and give it a bit more time to see if you like the meet ups, the people etc.

I just innocently stumbled onto MN this evening and now am a) thoroughly over-invested in knowing what group activity is running in current circumstances vis a vie COVID and b) having to re-evaulate my understanding of the difference between autocorrect and a typo.

One (potentially both) of my daughters is Autistic / Aspergers so no judgement here but fascinating side theme.

I only popped on for a mooch.

Changes are OP won't reveal as 'top outing'

Too* outing

Were you launching a space shuttle?

'10, 9, 8, 7 ..... oh for God's sake, stop! Stop!. Nigel?!, Nigel! Stop, stop! Doreen has had to go for a whizz.'
Actually, I imagine even space shuttle launches have a less mad attitude to going for a pee.
What did the others in the group make of it?

@Moranne

Ego states. The leader communicated from their Parent ego stage, and you responded from your Child. Not unreasonable really - being reprimanded in front of others, toilet-related, being shamed etc.

( Sorry for typo “okayed” Played is really not a typo of okayed! This is a real bugbear of mine).

P is next to O L is next to K

circumstances vis a vie COVID

Or even vis-a-vis? Sorry couldn’t find the accented a on my phone keyboard

• has also all made me laugh out loud twice (unlike the shit film I was half watching). So thanks to all for that.

Incidentally if we are sharing bug bears (and we're not really are we?), I refuse to use 'lol' (hence the above). I don't mind anyone else using it, that doesn't bug me, I just cannot bring myself to use it.

Anyhoo....

@IDontLikeZombies - astronauts wear a sort of nappy don't they? But I like the joke!

@bluebluezoo

lol

This thread is giving me best laugh. I am reluctant to say what the activity is but ....

Is it dangerous circus skills? Did you going to the loo mean someone fell off a tightrope?

Thanks Mumwon I was thinking more of the control room than the astronauts but your reading of it is a lot funnier. Perhaps we should go into writing together?

This comment alone should get this thread into Classic! What with the side spat about autocorrect.

Activity is indeed walking.

Come oooooooonnnnnnn!!

WHAT. WAS. IT???

Pleeeeeasseee.

All typos ^^^

Haha same.. just when you think every bizarre and conceivable situation has been covered on MN a brief look on active topics shows us that there is a limitless box of strange situations that can occur!

But anyway. Christ, if theyre getting that uppity over a wee holding up a walk for 5 minutes then they really need to get the stick up their arse. Its not like it made any difference to the activity whatsoever. Half the people just be standing around chatting oblivious. Not like other sports where there is a time element / people cooling down when they should be high impact exercising.

Get the stick out from up there arse i mean

Ooh, sorry

Your group lead sounds so mean OP, what a twat. Jesus, people need to pee.

That bun fight about autocorrect vs typo was magnificent.

Tears are falling from my eyes, this is so funny!!

Loved ALL the comments
