My friend will send me pictures every couple of days, like a picture of her face captioned 'tell me how good I look' or a body picture captioned, 'what's that runrun, I'm looking rather skinny?' Or a selfie saying, 'isn't my skin positively glowing'. It actually is making me laugh writing that down, I'm not even kidding 😂

This is very odd right? What do I respond to these? So far I ignore.

Send her a photo of your foot and say worship my almighty foot.

IMNOTSHOUTING · 10/06/2021 22:03

Errr yeah that's completely mental. I have no idea what kind of response she thinks she'll get or what I would actually send as it's just too damn weird.

mediumbrownmug · 10/06/2021 22:03

My response would be, “And humble, too!” Grin

Bluntness100 · 10/06/2021 22:05

Send her this.

If it was a friend of mine I would have to assume she was joking and reply with a 😂

It's a fairly new friend, a school mum. Really strange.

If it was a long term friend I of course would take it as a joke but we don't have that kind of relationship

I would block her. No kidding.

redcarbluecar · 10/06/2021 22:11

Ignore it, I’d say

User3253465621 · 10/06/2021 22:12

Maybe it's the beginning of a MLM scam?? A new script to test the waters?

Stichintime · 10/06/2021 22:12

I'd definitely block her. Would hate that sort of crap in my in box.

ChatterMonkey · 10/06/2021 22:12

Please send the meme posted by a PP 😂😂

Bluntness100 · 10/06/2021 22:13

Oh she’s a new friend? That’s so weird, and absolutely hysterical 😂😂😂

CuriousaboutSamphire · 10/06/2021 22:14

Please send in the cat.

At least you'll find out if she has a sense of humour.

Ohhh that makes it a bit more tricky then. I think maybe I would just send a thumbs up emoji, hoping that wasn’t a good enough response for her and that she would then stop sending me that shit.
Faranth · 10/06/2021 22:15

My first instinct is she's going to start trying to flog you some MLM shite.

DotsandCo · 10/06/2021 22:15

I was just coming on to say it sounds like an MLM bot...but @User3253465621 beat me to it 🤣👍

PaniniHead · 10/06/2021 22:15

Weird! I think it’s a build up to an MLM sales pitch too

At a guess it's Shit Me Out Coffee 🤮

userxx · 10/06/2021 22:17

What the fuck does runrun mean? She sounds a twat to be honest.

Whatthefucculent · 10/06/2021 22:17

You ok hun?, would be the perfect reply

TwinklyTits · 10/06/2021 22:18

@Bluntness100 that is hilarious
@Whythesadface I'm sooo using almighty foot pics for random texts. thank you for that

Actupfishy · 10/06/2021 22:18

Definitely going to start telling you that her positively radiant skin and gorgeous bod are all down to this amazing new tea she’s drinking, hun!

User52739 · 10/06/2021 22:19

It sounds kind of tongue in cheek and funny to me!
