One of my "friends" on facebook (a term I use very loosely since what she did seriously angered me) decided to post a picture of a series of messages a guy sent her. They had a back-and-forth exchange (I could see the cutoff on the top of the picture of her message,) before she went cold and stopped replying to his messages. There was nothing bad or explicit in the messages: just salutations, saying that she may have lost his number and that he was coming to town. Basically, it was a guy getting ignored. She then took liberties to make fun of him with a sarcastic title (one that mocked rejection) and in the comments section with some of her (female) friends, who also partook in laughing at this guy's expense.

Needless to say, I was furious. It's bad enough to blow somebody off, but I find it downright disgusting and reprehensible to mock him in front of hundreds who are friends with her. Who does this? I would expect something like this out of a preteen, immature girl, but she's in her early 20s! I confronted her about it, and told her that I thought posting that for the world to see was disgusting and rude, and she told me to lighten up, and that guys who don't get a hint deserve to get called out.

Really? Sorry, this just makes me extremely angry. It honestly makes me wonder if anyone I know has done this to me. If you're going to reject someone, be honest, blunt, don't blow them off and certainly don't humiliate them in front of your friends.

Just a person with no class. I don't see why people think they are so much better than other people.

I agree with you, this was not appropriate. For some reason people get on FB and are emboldened to post things they'd never say to your face. It's a shame really.

It's a simple case of low self-esteem on her part. She wants her "friends" to see how "desirable" she is. It's a rude and inconsiderate way of trying to make herself feel wanted.

She won't be laughing if one of those disgruntled guys comes back and blows her head off.

I can't stand stuff like that. No class and immature. I know someone who is constantly taking pictures of random people she finds dress trashy or whatever. If their outfit looks bad or whatever it is she finds "funny", she snaps a photo and puts it on FB so she and all her friends can make idiotic remarks.

Yeah, she should just make fun of him in private, not on fb.

That's mean. The poor guy. If he's just being nice, there's no reason for that. What a little brat she is.

However, back in the MySpace days I did have a Hall of Shame. Anyone who sent me lewd or completely socially moronic messages ("Hi, I'm 22 and want to experience an older woman.") were subject to the derision of all of my friends, male and female, and anyone else who came across my blog on there. Some people deserve it.

Just not the guy you're talking about.

It speaks volumes about the girl herself, and really nothing about the guy she is trying to embarass.

What a B she should just tell the guh , PRIVATELY that she's not interested. Not be a coward and hope he will take the hint. She sounds like an attention w*ore.
