Oh, social media, always hurting people's feelings

[miso]

I posted photos of a trip to a local museum that I took with three co-workers yesterday.

And another co-worker commented, "You guy went without me!" with a sad face.

Ugh.

We are in our thirties and forties, man.

Get over it.

[vicky]

Ew. I hate that needy shit.

[miniroller]

Aw, sounds like your trip was really missing an essential member... Wahwaahh!

[themysteriouswife]

I do not understand this mentality. You don't always need to be invited to everything! This applies to your kids too.

[vicky]

Weenies. All of them.

I do too. I had one recently that commented, "Thanks for inviting me." Obviously sarcastic. How do you respond to that?

SERIOUSLY? This is the third or fourth story this week of a grown adult asking someone why they weren't invited somewhere (or otherwise calling them out for that). WHY.

[nursecramer]

Well you should have at least had the consideration to contact your coworker in advance and tell her she wasn't invited.

"Stop being a weenie."

[sofamonkey]

You probably should have told her ahead of time that you were going & that she wasn't going to be invited. I hear that's the polite way to do things.

I don't get it either! I mean, don't get me wrong, if I felt left out of course my feelings would be hurt but I wouldn't dream of asking them why I wasn't invited along. And if it happens continually, they're not really your friends. In the end, I don't want to spend time with people who don't want to spend time with me. That's no fun for anyone.

Why wasn't I invited miso?

I said, "You're never free!" with a sad face.

Which is true.

I do invite him to a lot of things, but he often declines.

I only had three tickets, so he wasn't on my A-list.

[tacokick]

I've had the 'invite me next time" which awkward. Instagram is more complicated than it should be.

I don't know if saying "you weren't on my A list" would have been quite the best response.

This is going to happen again, too.

My other co-worker (who is NOT at all mad or bitter that she didn't come on this trip) just reserved some tickets for December and invited me.

And I don't care. I'm going to instagram and Facebook again. NYAH NYAH NYAH.

I SEE HOW I RATE!!!!111!



I was going to insert a dramatic stomp off gif, but found this one...and I like it.

[miso]

LOL. I can't see the gif!

I work down the street.

I go with co-workers, or I don't go at all.

I kid man...I don't think I could make it to that part of town on a weeknight without tearing my hair partially out anyways.

Surface streets or I-10E...no thank you.

[dexteroni]

I noticed that, and rolled my eyes for you.

Also, that looks like a great place. What a collection!

People have got to stop with this shit.

Although I don't see why being a guy makes it worse. I've heard it from both and it's always the same amount of awkward and inappropriate either way.

Not to hijack your post, but damn the selfie pancake truck said it was coming this weekend and the stupid liars are in a different town! You cannot claim a 44 minute away city as the city you are visiting.

I'd want to reply to the sad face poster with a super smiley face & why yes we did!

This is even worse coming from a dude!

I have male friends who are just as clingy as some of my HM girlfriends. 

[miso]

Yeah, typically, you make male friends, so you have some friends sans drama.

(Yes, yes, stereotypes, yadda yadda yadda. LOL.)

What is HM? I'm sure they exist, but men are generally less bothered by this type of situation, and I'm ok with that generalization. lol

High Maintenance. Maybe the clingy ones are just in my neck of the woods, or maybe I just attract them, since I tend to be a little needy myself. Not ashamed.

[eb777888]

I think it's totally fine to think it, but you never SAY IT! OMG, I'm embarrassed for him.
