I’m well aware that this will sound silly, but here goes.

i’m in a group chat with some other women of a similar age as me. We all met because we are fans of a sport. Last weekend that sport concluded and the competitor that I’m not a huge fan of won. No big deal, I’m an adult and I can cope with it.

One member of the group chat was @ ing me through the entire day, basically asking if I was really annoyed, am I pissed off etc etc and just being a bit weird.

i said no not really and left it at that. I went onto the shared document we have of addresses in preparation to send my Christmas cards and I can see that this person has now added comments to my address. It’s my name then (stinks) and under my address they’ve put shithole. From the edit history I can see that this was done by the member who was acting strangely last weekend and was done on the day of the last race.

AIBU to think this is weird behaviour and also a little upsetting? We’re all adults and it just seems strange.

Sorry I tried to vote YANBU but think I may have hit YABU by mistake. If so please ignore.

I've not read the full thread - so apologise if it's already been covered, but surely you didn't want max to win!? Even if you did - I think this is an extremely extreme reaction, he isn't that bad.

i said no not really

so “not really”

but leaves it hanging that maybe a…. Little bit peeved!

🤔

What a weird comment. Are you the weird friend??

SheSaidHummingbird · 14/12/2025 20:13

@alittlechildish On the shared spreadsheet, delete her address and replace it with a link to this thread.

BlondeBonBon · 14/12/2025 20:16

Sounds like she’s just looking for a fight, which seems pointless and silly

BlondeBonBon · 14/12/2025 20:18

Yep link them to this thread. They sound like nobs

autumnsheretimetogetcosy · 14/12/2025 20:20

Could you screenshot where it shows it was her that has made the edits and then @ her in the group message to say ‘you forgot to update my post code too- It’s SH1 TH0LE’

bit tongue in cheek but calls her out on her unnecessary sh1t behaviour! She’s a jealous person and not a friend!

bigfacthunter · 14/12/2025 20:23

I’d screen grab the page where you can see who made the changes, post it in group chat and tag the person saying “r u ok?”

🤣

Something I’ve found in these spaces (and I hate to say it because I sound so horrible) is that a lot of fans of certain athletes can behave a lot like teenage fans of one direction used to. Very unhinged behaviour.

Ah so like the music version of swifties

This time of year really brings the unhinged lot of the woodwork!

Op I'd screenshot it and post it to the group with the comment "did someone's 8 year old get bored?"

Definitely this!!

Wordsmithery · 14/12/2025 20:36

They sound completely deranged. Stinks and shit hole. What are they, five?

Horses7 · 14/12/2025 20:51

Your ‘friend’ is not worth any more effort but don’t lose your other friends on the group because of her.

Ohnobackagain · 14/12/2025 20:53

She’s nuts @alittlechildish - she was trying to have a joke at your expense, you didn’t take the bait and somehow you’ve stolen her joy/burst her bubble? Madness 🤯😂😬

sunflowerstory · 14/12/2025 21:06

Tell her to get back in her box box box.

JamesWebbSpaceTelescope · 14/12/2025 21:07

I’m a Lando fan but it is fine to want Max to win, he is the best driver by miles!

JamesWebbSpaceTelescope · 14/12/2025 21:07

@alittlechildish have you found the f1 thread on here - we are a very friendly bunch and don’t take it personally!

Unhinged and unwell should written under her address.

Okthenguys · 14/12/2025 21:17

Go into the document and edit “weirdo” for their name and “rent-free in @alittlechildish head” for their address.

Yes. Basically swifties but for sport!

Screen shot. Post it on the group chat and ask why she did this.

Don't get in an argument, just stay silent.

gamerchick · 14/12/2025 21:24

alittlechildish · 14/12/2025 18:46

I’ve just muted it and archived the chat. No point in even arguing with them anymore I think.

Good plan. Life is too short for strange people.

Ferrari weren’t even a contender :)

i was just happy Max didn’t win lol

WeNeedToTalkAboutIT · 14/12/2025 21:29

If you care to, I'd unarchive the chat just to add that a joke is something that the recipient finds funny. It wasn't funny, it was hurtful, and it was purile behaviour.
