Being unfriended by people on social media who I’ve never had a disagreement or any bad blood with.
Such a small and stupid thing but it really bothers me when I suddenly see I’m not friends with someone on social media who I knew from my past but we were on good terms!
Were you interacting with their posts at all ? (Like/commenting), Sometimes that can bug people friends watching their reels/stories & never give a like or comment.

When you invite someone to your house for a catch-up and they bring someone you don't know.

I don't like strangers coming to my home, and it meant we couldn't have a decent catch-up.
Who does that? My friends would NEVER. I genuinely can't even fathom this happening in my lifetime 🤣

My mother could give lectures on how to be passive aggressive.
Most of the time, MOST of the time, I rise above it. And I watch myself to make sure I am not passive aggressive, because it's just so tit, and a horrible way to be.
I bit back very very slightly tonight about a gift I had given her which she had not acknowledged in any way. I'm not sorry.

I had to witness another sibling being fawned over when she was leaving the house today and when would she be visiting again, and thanks so much for visiting. I got just about civility, just about, as I was leaving. I'm sick of it. I don't visit, I'm wrong, I visit, I'm still wrong. duck it.
Oh and stop looking me up and down disapprovingly. Maybe that's another reason why I don't visit much eh 🙄

Had a rant upthread about a sibling who is treating me like tit over not attending her birthday party in January. Due to illness. A bit more of the same over the weekend, addressing her conversation to whoever was beside me, looking past me. Just duck off, the lot of you.

And breathe.
Oh that's horrible. Sorry you have to deal with that BS.

This annoys me too particularly when they added me rather than other way around. I rarely add people so then to be unfriended a few months later is a bit strange.

I dont go on social media too often but I have one acquaintance who never comments or likes posts of mutual friends but instead she is constantly commenting on what I think are called "mourn porn" pages ie where a mother has a page about their child who has died or where they have a life limiting illness. She doesnt know these people and i find it odd and voyeuristic.

People who constantly say they can’t afford things… there’s a lady that’s pregnant where I work and everytime we talk about anything, she’s like oh I can’t afford it though and then starts laughing. Like… yeah. We all can’t. Not poor enough for you not to have another baby though 🫢

Yes how annoying is it when people say they can’t afford things but then are having babies, buying new cars and spending money on unnecessary things!!

I worked with a woman who was just so miserable about everyone and everything. She'd regularly insult people then delight in them being too polite to say anything (she'd smirk away). On occasion, when the odd person had had enough, they'd snap back at her ... to which she'd gasp and make a big deal about their overreaction - which, surprisingly, other people would comment on (about the reactor, not her instigating the whole thing).

One day when a group of us were chatting in the kitchen and she made a quip about someone who wasn't there, someone turned to her and asked, "Do you mean to come across as so rude?" The look on her face was one of pure shock. This person then added, "The way you talk to and about people is shocking - I just wonder if you realise?" This shut her up for good! She left quite soon after.

I don't know if the same thing would work with your mum, but I wonder if she doesn't know she's acting like this? I have family members who treat people differently depending who's in the room at the time and it is very odd ...

When you have family and they never reach out to you, I’m a single mom and my brother never messages to see if I’m okay his wife does occasionally but they are both selfish and narcissistic beyond belief! We were supposed to have a family meal for my dads birthday last week but they said they couldn’t make it as they were apparently unwell so myself and child went only for my niece (who went with us) to let slip that my sis in law had been for a 4 mile walk and to get her nails done?! Tell me your not ill without telling me your not ill 😠 of course as usual my parents take my brothers side and barely ever say anything negative against him but again this is the person that never reaches out to me and yet I have helped them so much over last few years such as looking after there dog, babysitting my niece the favours are never returned so not anymore ☹ myself and my child are rarely asked to do anything/go anywhere with them, we have asked before to make plans but they are conveniently always busy yet seem to have time for others 🤔I used to be really close with my brother until my marriage broke down (he was really close to the ex husband) and now he just doesn’t seem to bother as if he resents me for it in some way even though it wasn’t my fault! Why are people so self centred?! Has anyone else experienced this? For reference I have now distanced myself from my brother who has clearly just used me over the last few years 😔

I’m so sorry that you have had problems with your brother. I wonder if it’s his wife that is making him like this? Some people can be really controlling in relationships.

My brother recently moved close to me (within 5 mins drive) and we always made the effort to go to their house, they never come to our house. Anyway last week he asked me to pick up my niece from school (my daughter goes to the same school) an hour before school finishes because he decided he needed to go the shops and would take more than an hour. I was like ok I’ll do it because it’s my niece and I’ll do anything for her.. but then I said oh do you want me to have her at my place for one day over the first week of school holidays as my brother & his partner work.. and they said oh sorry their other niece (not related to me) is coming for the week… then they said in a later message maybe the following week and I flat out said no, we are busy at it’s my daughters bday that week… which they had probably forgotten about too mind you! Sorry for the vent and to intrude on your post, just thought it was a good opportunity to let out my frustration of my own brother issues!

Tiktokers/youtubers who talk really expressively flapping their hands about everywhere, I can't focus on what they're saying because their hand movements are really distracting. Even more irritating when they've got really long acrylic nails which they feel the need to tap on everything they touch

No problem to vent at all! Sorry to hear you’re going through similar! ☹They really are selfish aren’t they! My daughters birthday was the other week too and my brother couldn’t be arsed to travel 15 mins down the road to post her card/ present 🙄 it really does help to talk on here as I have nobody to talk to about this that understands! Ps a lot of it is down to his wife she is quite controlling it’s very obvious with my niece though seems to be only me that notices 😫 thank you for taking the time to reply ☺

On the topic of being unfriended on social media - there’s a few people I used to follow on Instagram who have deleted me as a follower yet still follow me and watch all my stories?? Weirdo behaviour

Totally understand. Sounds like most of it is his wife then. I have no one to speak to about it either, I told my mum and she just shrugs it off. She’s always on my brothers side and never mine 😒 I will update you after my daughters bday to see if they message or what gift they give her (if anything)

That is very odd. I would remove them from your followers list so they can’t see your stories/posts anymore 😊

Most "normal" people when saying their telephone number do the 5 3 3 method. (12345 678 910). Yes?

My husband does 4 3 4 (1234 567 8910). It annoys me sooo much. I don't even know why it bothers me so much but it is SO wrong!!
Late on this one but it really made me laugh, I’ve never thought about how I say it and now I feel odd

5 - 4 - 2 🤣

Potatoes, apart from loose baking potatoes which tend to be old, which are sold in huge bags and are heavy to carry. Then you have to cook a load.
