That Freddie dying isn't a spoiler FFS

[wellwellwellhereweare]

Got this 'friend' who is the first to jump in at every opportunity to say 'oh, you've done that wrong'.

One of her hallmarks is calling you out when you've supposedly let others down.

Her call out today on a WA group is when I've said after watching Bohemian Rhapsody how tragic for poor Freddie Mercury to die at such a young age from aids.

Her response? Spoiler alert! 'Ruined that for me now'. It's a public fact not a work of fiction. What next, letting her know the titanic sinks!

Any suggestions on a response that is better than F off?

Or AIBU

My MIL babysat for us once.
There was a very important England football match on.

We told her several times, in no uncertain terms that we didn't want to know the result as we would watch the highlights when we got back.

When we got home we reminded her not to mention the result.

"Of course I won't tell you...but what a shame for poor England right at the end"

I was furious, but she said "What's the problem, I never told you the score"

Gah

Just ignore? Simplest option surely.

Why don’t you reply ‘Good one!’ and assume she’s joking.

Saw the thread title, hoped it was about Mr Mercury, wasn't disappointed!

Liking the Titanic example! She’s batshit for clarity

F off would work for me

You’re friggin kidding right ?

He died almost 30 years ago . Tell your friend to get her head out of her backside, stupidity at its finest

You should have whispered to her ‘and JFK was shot’

You must be living under a rock to not know that Darth Vader is Luke’s father. I’ve never seen any of the Star Wars films and i knew that!

Some people do somehow manage to go through life missing things though. When Prince died MIL commented on how sad it was as he was only young, she guessed my age (late 30s). I was like ????? Baffling.

Some people are idiots. Much of life is explained by this.

@minou123

Who Is Keyser Söze?

Now, 1995 was a fucker of a year for spoilers!

Remember the 'line-up' poster for this? There was a massive billboard for the Usual Suspects on a really busy tube station tunnel.

Some absolute bellend had drawn a large arrow and 'HE IS KEYSER SOZE!' over one of them 😆

OP, your friend is a loon. She'd hate Hamilton then...you find out in the first song how he dies and who killed him.

Also, the ignorance of many people just astonishes me.

Years ago, we were queuing for the cinema. People in front were discussing the film they were going to see...'Saving Private Ryan.' One of them had already seen it.

They'd missed the first half hour. The one who'd seen it said 'Doesn't matter...nothing happens in the first half hour anyway.'

What? Apart from the entire D Day Normandy landings??! Which the whole film hinges on?!! 🤦‍♀️

It's all about not liking sci-fi, I wouldn't go to seen Chariots of Fire when it first came out.

I'm still confused about this comment, bearing in mind what Chariots of Fire is about?

@ememem84

After watching one of the more recent Star Wars films a colleague and I stopped to get pizza before heading home. She said (whilst waiting for take away) “that was totally unexpected that xxxxx happens” a guy in the pizza place was suitably annoyed. He was going to see the film immediately after his food. Oops.

My friend and her husband booked a babysitter and had a (rare) night out to see one of the latest Star Wars films, (they're both sci-fi fanatics). As they waited to go in, the audience from the previous screening were coming out. One young boy turned to his dad and literally shouted, "OMG, I CANNOT BELIEVE GOT KILLED!!!" Friend's DH nearly cried.

Indeed! There are no chariots, they're not on fire and it's not in the least bit a "sci-fi" film.

It's also based on real-life events...

Well played @BullOx Well played

Going on your title, I thought that this thread was about ‘Bates Motel’ and Freddie Highmore. 🙄

My friend called his dad from abroad during the World Cup

He dad, I'm in Thailand. Going to watch the football later. We're six hours ahead of you

Yes son, don't tell me the score , it's not started here yet

He died nearly 30 years ago, and I thought everyone knew about it: certainly anyone interested enough to watch the film.

Are we also not allowed to say that Richard the Third got killed at Bosworth, in case it's a spoiler to someone watching the play, or the film based on it?

I had a work friend who was most annoyed that the trailer for titanic showed it sinking, she didn't realise it was a real event. Some people have very limited general knowledge

Not really sure how you’d go through life and not know about that. I’d say it’s a bit more than general knowledge.

Don’t mention Princess Diana dies if she watches the Crown lol

The ONLY response you can put to that that message is

😂😂😂😂

Every one watching will crack up

She sounds like a secret hater, what ever you say is wrong so I would just keep dishing out real spoilers 😂

I’m just here for the Chariots of Fire reveal.

OP I am in admiration of your deadpan brilliance. Giving me a good chuckle. She can only be an NCT ‘friend’? Christ they’re unbearable (as is the tumbleweed on the group chats).
