DH tagging me in a FB post that my customers can see

I'm hopping mad right now! My DH is off today (his first day off in a week) and he's having a lovely day in the garden. He just cracked open a cider, took a photo and posted it to FB, tagging me, basically saying that "we" are in the garden drinking cider.

I am not! I am inside working. I am friends on FB with my clients who I am working for right now. They will have seen the post. I've taken it down now. I am so mad at him! I was going to join him after I finish for the day, but I'm now sitting inside seething at his stupidity. I feel like just sacking our evening plans off entirely.

How could he be so silly?

People tag others in all the time they they are with, that's the point of tagging someone. Others tag people in so they see the post.
I would 100% tag my DH in and we both WFH..it does not imply he was drinking too.

OP was not with him, she was working - that’s why she’s upset.

He put the post on FB so everyone could see it.

He didn’t tag OP just so she could see it, it was for other people’s benefit.

If it was directly aimed at OP then he would have sent it privately, not so both of their followers could see.

You only post things on FB if you want all of your followers to see it.

You are not getting it, he's not saying he's with op drinking he said he was drinking and tagged her in so she saw. He never said she was there or that she was drinking. Yes he wanted others to see it not just OP but the point is he did not say OP was with him drinking

If he tagged her and said we, which is what the op says, that is including her. If he was just talking about himself he'd say I.

I don't think he literally said we, reading the OP she says he tagged her "basically saying they are drinking together" I read that as by tagging her he's implied she's there drinking.

I guess it is a bit ambiguous. I read it as her condensing the accompanying text. I don't think it seems like she will be back to clarify though.

We could mean him and his dad or his best mate or Jim from next door. It needn't mean him and op.

Anyway, why would he know that op has clients as fb friends? Does everyone know who all their OH's fb friends are?

Honestly I feel you’re the silly one for allowing customers to have visibility of your Facebook account.

You’ve made it worse by deleting it. If they saw it, they’ll now be convinced you deleted it because you didn’t want them to see you were drinking in the garden. All you had to do was just reply along the lines of ‘He lives the life of Reilly, this one! Will join you after work, so top up the ice cubes’. Repost it with that reply, problem solved.

Who is going back to Facebook posts checking whether the tags have changed?

Surely that's not a thing

She wouldn’t be changing the tags, she’d be adding a reply, so that if any of her clients got a bit sniffy with her, she’d be able to show them her response.

In the absence of inventing and building a Time Machine, I thought it was probably her most sensible option.

I’m guessing most of these posters think that FB is life and are just on it constantly tagging everyone in everything.

I also think many of them are in relationships where they don’t have what’s seen as a ‘proper’ job and so assumes OPs job isn’t a proper one either.

I bet if if was DH at work in his ‘important’ job and she implied he wasn’t there or not doing it properly, he’d be going mad and everyone would be in support of him.

Late to the party but this is such a bizarre reaction!

Yes he did.

It’s you that’s not getting it.

OP has said he implied that they were BOTH sat in the garden drinking, whilst she was supposed to be working.

I don’t understand why posters are tying themselves in knots to make out she is the one in the wrong.

No one would tag someone who wasn’t there for the sake of it.
If it was a jokey haha wish you were here/not working type thing then he would have either privately messaged her or written a comment saying as such.

Your followers will see your photos and so unless you’re there with them or aiming the photo at them with a comment, then you wouldn’t tag someone else.
