Being angry and controlling with members of Facebook group

9 replies

PassingStranger · 05/04/2024 19:28

Person set up a coach holidays/day trips page recently.
People have joined page, but not enough people have signed up for the trips leading to a cancellation lately.
Instead of just accepting that people don't want to sign up for various reasons for a trip and leaving it and taking it in their stride they have resorted to anger.
It's quite painful to see. They are threatening to remove people from the group if they don't partake.
Asking people why they joined etc etc?
I've never seen such anger and control.
All this will just turn people off surely?
The trips I've seen are actually quite expensive. Do they make money out of this or is it a hobby?
Wouldn't you just move on if it didn't work naturally?
Don't organise things if it's so stressful?

Absolutely. If you want people to attend something, it has to be a good experience. One can't badger other people to make one's own business a success.

This sounds like the best way to make people shop elsewhere.

Are people still using this misogynistic slur then?

Not the right way to go about things for sure.
Some people have no idea.

Their going about it the wrong way no one will want to give them money for trips if their resorting to that level of angry behaviour I would just leave the group and be done with it more people that do it the better

Their is no drama like specific group on fb drama! You should see some of the fights on my local ones.
Best to stay out of it (and quietly watch the mess unfold)

Now they have set up a WhatsApp group and asking people if they want to chat on there.

Why won't people give something up if it's not working. It's obvs getting stressful .
