So paranoid, is this offensive??

[tightwad]

fecking hell.

friend who i havent seen for years found on fb.

has doen a bungee for charity and put about it on face book thingy.

i posted that this was fantastic and that i could not do this because i get on the trampoline with ds and a little bit of wee comes out hehehehe

next posting is "WHAT! why are you bieng offensive?"

do they mean me or are they replying to a private message do you think?

Wasnt bieng offensive at all....how could she think that??? was she thinking that???
ahh jeez

I would have found it funny too!

I'm more confused by people who would have their grandma/mother on their FB. My mother would be greatly offended by a LOT of things on my FB page which is why she's not allowed on there!

has she replied?

Offensive? No. Just get off Facebook, IMO it is for children or those without a life.

Kreecher thats a bit rude. Its a good way of keeping in touch. Why is it just for children or those without a life?

I can only assume she hasn't had children and doesn't talk to any friends who have, in any detail! She's being very prudish and buttoned-up, if it was the pee thing she was talking about. God, I thought all women giggled about rubbish pelvic floors together!

I'd ask her, nicely, what she's on about and then if she's still narky, ignore her.

Kreecher that is rude. I'm not a child but i do have a life.......Facebook allows me to keep up with dozens of people I no longer have time to meet up with or speak to on the phone since having children.

I have no life, I have a child instead..

Facebook allows me to pretend I still socialise....

I don´t find it offensive, but I would find it an odd thing for someone to post me on FB-unless it was private.

I think Kreecher has a point, actually. Not at all rude. Which isn't to say that I don't go on facebook. FWIW I am quite childish and I don't have much of a life

It does cause an awful lot of grief though, as this OP and dozens more demonstrate.

Ditto Madascheese

Strange thing to say Kreecher...IME its for people who very much DO have lives, & have friends who also have lives, kids, busy careers etc& therefore struggle to find time to keep up with people individually.....its also a fantastic way of getting back in contact with people scattered to the 4 corners of the world who because BUSY lives get in the way..... you'd lost contact with....at least thats MY experience of it

& for the OP......yes odd that shes taken offence as you say she normally DOES have a sense of humour,

so it suggests its either not aimed at you, or she's had a temporary humour by-pass due to either being hormonal, or perhaps she has incontinence problems & mis-read your reply??

good luck sorting it out, it would bug me too

PMSL madascheese

I'd find what you wrote crude and bizarre, in the context of where you wrote it. Some people find crudeness offensive, maybe it's that?

Not every woman's got pelvic floor issues, maybe we're the ones who fail to get the jokes about it? They do encourage a generalisation that not every woman who's borne children wants to be labelled with

Children aren't allowed on FB? I have a life, which is exactly why i love FB, I get to catch up and keep up with several friends that i've known for years, at a time thats suitable for me. I have alot of family living around the world that i see pictures of all the time, its great.
Its so easy to arrange get togethers with old friends etc .. and easier to chat with people than trying on the phone with Kids etc, i don't know how i survived without it!
I don't like it that my mum can see everything on my page, but because i like to share pictures with her etc.. then i have the option to message people things i wouldn't want family to see.

I also wonder if people who can trampoline without weeing don´t realise that this can be an issue for some women & so would find your comment well, just bizarre.

sorry OP didn't actually answer! I think i would remove your comment..
If you really want to know then ask, but if she never really had much time for you before, and shes not a good friend, i would forget about it. If she doesn't get your humour, then that's her problem!
That is the annoying thing about text/posting, is that things you write can be taken several ways.. and if you're not quite on the same 'wavelength' then theres not point in worrying about it.

It's obvious your friend finds the word trampoline offensive.

I think you should apologise at ONCE and promise to call it 'the bouncy floor thing' from now on.

Signed

A child without a life

OK, I will apologise to all those I offended. I loathe FB with a passion (which I think came across in my OP). SORRY.

I used to feel the same, Kreecher until I realised how easy it is to put up photos & message friends-I´m abroad.

I am more offended at some of the appalling grammar and spelling on there, the mention of a bit of wee coming out when you trampoline wouldn't even register. Some folk are strange.

Its OK!!
She says she didnt mean me and found it quite funny and her dh was laughing his head off at it!!
Phew.
Note to self...."crude and bizzare is not the same as light hearted and humerous as was meant. In future tightwad, avaoid crude and bizzare with those who have strange and odd humourless outlooks. NEVER EVER try to brighten some ones day with a funny comment again."

Thanks for all of those who reasured me and understood the spirit of my intentions. I was thourouly freaked out until you all started to talk to me. x

Yey

Have been watching this thread to see how it turned out. Glad all is well

no crowley, op didnt have a turn out, just some wee came out.

sorry if that offends anyone

So what did offend her?

Thanks for the update! Thats funny!
