shit. I'm an asshole.

It's 11.12.13

So I posted that on my Facebook because I'm original and all of that.

A friend posted something like "We all know what day it is" (as his own status) - I thought he was being silly because multiple people probably posted that.

So I was all "duh - it's 11.12.13!"

His wife(a good friend of mine) emailed me for something else and then was like "listen just a heads up, no one is mad, but today is the anniversary of his Mom dying. "A" knows you were making an innocent joke, but I just wanted to explain why everyone was posting sad faces.

I apologized and deleted my post, and apologized again on the post. She responded and said I didn't need to delete and that there were no hurt feelings over my comment, but shit.

I feel like such a shit head. (I didn't even know that his mother had died - let alone that today was the anniversary.)

You can't be expected to know that, especially since he was vague booking.

You didn't know that when you posted. That wasn't the purpose of your post. Don't feel bad.

Thankfully these people are rational and understand this, but they are two of the nicest people I know so I just feel bad.

(Not because they are making me feel that way - freaking Catholic guilt)

Don't beat yourself up. You didn't know.

"We all know what day it is"

Um no, WE don't. His fault.

Don't worry about it, I know you feel like a shit but it's not your fault.

Oh no, how uncomfortable, I'm sorry. I agree with Jezebel, you really couldn't have known so try not to feel too bad!

[iamgrace]

I understand feeling bad, but you did nothing wrong.

I may be alone here, but I feel like the wife is kind of the asshole for calling you out. CLEARLY you didn't know. His vaguebooking is annoying, and her defending it is annoying. 

I'm sorry you're feeling bad though - Catholic Guilt is a feeling I am quite familiar with. Sucks.

[snickers]

You didn't do anything wrong.

You obviously didn't do this to remind him of the date his mother died, I think it's weird that he called you out/took it that way in the first place. Although I am sure his mind isn't in such a good place today.

She really didn't call me out so much, after I posted on his status there was a bunch of and people saying they were sorry. I didn't actually look at my Facebook before I had read the message. She was just explaining what the responses were there for, and if I would have looked at FB before reading the message I probably would have messaged her and asked WTF did I miss. 

If this was any one else in my group of friends I would be with you, but this girl is seriously one of the sweetest people ever. 

She was clear in her "don't feel bad, no one is mad"

I guess I should have posted in the OP that I really don't feel bad because I didn't know, I just hate sticking my foot in my mouth, especially with really nice people.

lol - ok good. 

i think i made her message much bitchier in my head that it probably really was.
