You meet a friend you haven't seen for a while.
You report the meeting to another friend who knows the person you met.
They ask, "Did you tell them about my ?"

AIBU to be a bit WTF about this?

Eh? Can you give an example, I am not sure I understand.

Do you mean, like, say friend A is pregnant, and it is not a secret, so you bump into friend B, don't even mention the pregnancy because friend A does not come up in conversation, later tell friend A that you saw friend B and they say "Oh, did you tell them about me being pregnant?"

SearchingForMyInnerJoan · 03/03/2010 19:56

No not like that. Much more random obscure.
Stuff like "Did you tell them about the food poisoning I had last week."
Or "Did you tell them about my hassle with the insurance company?"
I mean stuff that is on their minds that they think everyone else should be thinking about?

Whatty?

independiente · 03/03/2010 19:58

Oh, right. Um, no, it doesn't really bother me...

ReneRusso · 03/03/2010 19:58

Sounds a bit odd. Some people are a little egocentric I guess.`

compo · 03/03/2010 19:59

I know what you mean

but luckily no one I know does that

my friends must not be quite as dull as your

you need new friends

but yanbu in case you're still reading , lol

SearchingForMyInnerJoan · 03/03/2010 19:59

Your friend. Your catch up. Your time.
Other people thinking it should be all about them.
Not clear?
Perhaps I have the wrong friends...

Did you tell them I got loads of reduced meat in Waitrose?

Honeypeckle · 03/03/2010 20:02

I don't think I know anyone that does this

Mumcentreplus · 03/03/2010 20:04

Did you tell them the guy on the desk next to me at work had his arm-pit boil lanced last week?

independiente · 03/03/2010 20:05

But hang on, you reported the meeting to the mutual friend in the first place. Maybe she's thinking, 'hmm, my friend, my catch up, my time. Why is Joan telling me about this other friend on MY time? I know, I'll show her...'

nickschick · 03/03/2010 20:07

Mrs Ruffallo I love a reduced meat fest

mumcentreplus ouuuch bet that hurt him was it severely infected or was it an ingrowing hair??

independiente · 03/03/2010 20:09

Hey, who doesn't love a good boil-lance story?

I agree it is a bit annoying

Mumcentreplus · 03/03/2010 20:27

shatteredmumsrus · 03/03/2010 20:45

mrsruffallo · 03/03/2010 20:46

SawneyBeane · 03/03/2010 20:56
