Well, I NEVER!

[luvsJack]

I have had people get mad at me over some dumb stuff before, but I think this takes the cake.

Friend is in Gulf Shores for the weekend. She posted on FB that she is at The Hangout. Several people were commenting about it and I said "fun place, horrible food" and went on to say that when we go in July, we have already told dd and friend that we will "hangout" at the Hangout but eat at Mike's Seafood. And then I said "have fun and be safe". Just a comment. I really thought she would say something about loving the food at Mike's and agreeing about the food at The Hangout. We all love Gulf Shores and compare trips all the time, making suggestions or talking what we found to be fun or whatever.

She's mad! She won't even speak to me! Its the craziest thing. If I had known she was so sensitive about the food at The Hangout, I certainly would have never said anything.

Oh, well, maybe I won't have to see anymore posts about every step she has taken down there. "on the beach" "at the pool" "at Lulu's" "walking down the street" etc. etc. etc.

Maybe she has a vested interest in The Hangout's food. Yeah, not likely! Don't sweat it. Some people are so touchy.

 

[luvmy3]

Is she the chef there? If not then I'd say she is definitely being too sensitive, but like you said maybe you'll get a break from the minute by minute goings on

 

[tink20]

The atmosphere is fun, the food is so-so and a little overpriced. But, can't see why she is mad at you, unless she is friends with the owner

 

[luvsJack]

Its crazy!! I was just so stunned by it.

I would apologize but I am not sure what for "I am sorry the Hangout has such horrible food"

That isn't a friend, that is 5 year old brat in a grown up's body. unfriend.

 

[Goofyluver]

How do you know she's mad at you for this? Did she add something after you commented on FB?

Maybe you could comment back that "You guys can 'hangout' again after she gets off her high horse".

She isn't usually quite so sensative but I think I will be a very quiet friend for awhile.

She and I usually actually talk back and forth going from fb to text when we start discussing something like that. She is ignoring me. The only thing she said was "that was totally uncalled for" uhmmm, ok??

I think that is EXACTLY what I will tell her.

So odd!

It's food. It's not like you commented on her hairstyle or her hubby.

 

[Disney Doll]

Ignore her. It'll drive her crazy.That's what I do when people act like idiots.

 

[krcit]

Ughh. good riddance. I have zero patience for drama queens.

Maybe she was annoyed by the highlighted comment. It could be taken in a negative way: "Have fun, but don't get too drunk." or "Have fun, but don't drink and drive.". While both are no-brainers (don't get too drunk and don't drink and drive) some people might be upset that their friend felt they needed to tell them not to get too drunk or drink and drive.

Maybe your negativity about where she was just got on her nerves. Sounds like she was just being easy-breezy and pumped about her little vacation and you sort of "rained on her parade."

Certainly not a reason to ignore you or act like that but your remark does sort of remind me of the Debbie Downer character on Saturday Night Live.

I dunno, I sort of understand her being annoyed at your comment. It's like you are mocking her for liking a place where YOU think the food is horrible. I have a relative that is constantly posting negative stuff on my facebook feeds, little digs like this, and to her it may feel like you are being judgmental and attacking her taste.

I wouldn't get in a huge huff over it, though. Sounds like you may have just hit her on a sensitive day.

 

[kristen821]

Either she is extremely crabby or she feels like you always have a negative comment. I know some people that no matter what you post their response is negative. It gets annoying. I wouldn't get that angry about it though

 

[Imzadi]

Maybe she thought the "Have fun and be safe," comment was referring to her possibly getting food poisoning, like you meant the food was that bad.

Or her codependency & boundary issues have been activated. You ARE allowed to have your own opinions, INdependent of hers.

 

[hereyago]

One thing about the internet, whether it be facebook, email,etc. sometimes it's hard to understand the "tone" of what is written. someone who may be joking around doesn't put j/k or whatever, and it could be thought of as not a joke.


Then again people are just nuts.

I agree you have to put an lol after everything on facebook to not offend anyone

I agree with this. She was enjoying yourself and was probably eating their food and liking it fine. Why rain on her parade?

I don't think her thinking it was an uncalled for comment and not continuing to respond ( by my understanding she's in the middle of her vacation) was any worse than telling someone you don't like a place she is currently enjoying.

Think of it it terms of WDW. Would you want someone telling you how bad the food is when you're there and having fun? Let her enjoy her trip. If she's mad when she gets home, THEN she's over-reacting. IMO right now she just wants to enjoy her trip.

My son and I decided at the same time to delete our FB pages. This is one of the reasons. Being on FB is like being in high school again and my real life is craxzy enough.
