To think this friend has got a bloody cheek?

Friend (not a close friend) has become involved with a MLM company over the past year. She is constantly adding me and everyone else on her FB friends list to groups regarding her 'business', chat groups about it, and tagging me and many others in daily posts about competitions she is running and new products. Literally every single day she adds me to something or tags me.

Yesterday, she did a massive rant on FB about people adding her to their 'business groups' and 'trying to sell stuff to her' and said anyone who does it to her in the future will get deleted and blocked!

AIBU to think she's got a fucking cheek moaning about this? She is quite fond of trying to dictate (via FB status) about what others think/do/say whilst doing that very thing herself, but this takes the biscuit!

I friend her on FB. Or if you don’t want to, I think you can at least set it so she can’t tag you in things.

Unfriend her, I mean!

If you still want to be her friend just drop her a message to ask her to stop tagging you.

She sounds like hard work, I’d bin her!

Just share the same status she did then block her next time she tags you in a sales post or whatever. She couldn’t possibly complain then!

Just block her

I would question what you get out of this friendship at all? She sounds pretty awful TBH.
At the least mute her or hide her notifications and tags on Facebook if possible if not block her. I couldn’t be doing with all this hypocrisy nonsense.

@RunBackwards

I just unfollow people like this.

FB rarely upsets me, I find it useful for knowing what's going on locally and keeping in (light) touch with old friends and acquaintances I actually like, but my feed doesn't have any of this nonsense. They might be posting but I don't see it Grin

I have done this with one FB friend. The rest of my friends on Facebook don't post this kind of stuff anyway, so I don't get the drivel that everyone else on mumsnet seems to get.

Why don't you just stop being friends with her? confused Why do people waste their lives getting annoyed at people like this...and call them friends.

"Because she's a lovely person really deep down, like one time about 30 years ago (before she changed into an mlm bot and stopped caring about the health of other people), she told me that my boyfriend was cheating on me. Of course it turned out to be her sleeping with him, but she was such a nice person to tell me and we tots bonded over that experience, I can't drop her from my life. She might seem crazy, but she is a lovely person deep down."

Insert other random excuse people use to keep these idiots in their lives as required.

These people are not friends - they’re parasites
