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

Can you link her to the Friends episode where Phoebe finds out her mother fudged all the stories with sad endings.

Beth, Ginger, Old Yaller, Bambis mum......

That's fantastic, please tell what she says!

Please op, use the line about the Titanic

So funny.

@harriethoyle

I thought this was an Archers thread and I was both FURIOUS with you *@wellwellwellhereweare* and absolutely delighted Excellent message back to her!

I thought it was an archers thread and the op meant Nigel. (I assume that's not going to be a spoiler for anyone?)

Suggest she watches Apollo 13 or The Dam Busters instead.

Assuming she knows he was an actual person, that's a bit crass of her tbh.

I love your response OP, please let us know how she replies.

She sounds a right pain in the arse! I love your response!

I thought it was going to be about The Archers too.

Thought I might have to start listening again.

As you were...

Wait, what? Germany lose the war?

@KatherineOfGaunt LOL, I know someone who said the same as your dh (let me guess the ship sinks) to someone who had been to the premiere and she said yeah, but I was shocked Jack died at the end. Cue total and utter detestation from the entire office.

@wellwellwellhereweare

Right, I've put in the chat

"Sorry about that. The titanic sinks and Germany lose the war in Saving Private Ryan, saves you some watching time."

Love it! Brilliant

Well done OP I was told off for giving away ‘spoilers’ about the Gunpowder Plot and was equally confused by the reaction!

Me too!

I hope she doesn't watch Rocketman.
Elton John coming out as gay will come as a complete shock

I also thought this was an Archers thread, in which case YWDBVU!

But in this case YADNBU

Bloody hell, the movie is 3 years old and Freddie is dead what, for 25-30 odd years? What did she want you to do? Take the secret to your grave?

Eugh- very self centred of her.
As an aside and very much a point of the film it’s so poignant that so many of a generation died who could still be thriving and creating today.

There was one thing I learned about FM from that film that I really didn't know. Am I allowed to say?

Someone I worked with did something similar with that Sixth Sense.

Someone was having a moan that her husband had ruined the ending of a film and colleague pipes up “I hate that when that happens. OtherColleague did that right before I went to see the sixth sense when she said the kid was dead and it ruined it... ... just like I have for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet”

Several people, including the original complainer, were raging with her 😂😂

I messed that up as it was the other one that was dead 😂

Right. She's replied.

"Not all of us know the endings and it's just good form to keep quiet. I'd rather not know, thank you and a lot of effort has gone in to maintaining the suspense".

No one else is commenting.

I think she thinks it's all fiction!

I knew a woman who once berated us for “spoiling” the end of Anne Frank’s diary for her. Some people are just idiots.

Sorry for the Archers mix up. Not a clue what that's about but hope that Freddy is ok

@wellwellwellhereweare

Right. She's replied.

Haha! She has doubled down on the idiocy.

Nice work.
