Wedding Woes

OMG, FB is dumb -- your drama pleasure

I have a friend that I'm none too pleased with.  Let's call all the people involved Al, Bob and Varuna.  Al is my BFF of 13 years, 34.  Bob is a very good friend of the past 4 years, 40something.  Both gay men (this is important later), Al and Bob have met briefly b/c of me, no other reason, for (liberal estimate) a total of 10 hours.  However, b/c Bob is a FB nutso, he has FB friended Al.  Fine, whatever, I didn't even know until this happened.

Background:  about five years ago, I was worried about Al b/c he he was behaving in some ways that I felt pretty strongly were risky and stupid.  However, it was related to being gay and so I went to Bob to ask his opinion on if I should let Al know.  He told me to stay the hell out of it, it wasn't my business.  I agreed with him and left it alone.  Al and I actually ended up speaking about it b/c he brought it up to me.  I did not tell Bob this.  It didn't freaking occur to me.

FB fight:  Al posts that he went to see Rock of Ages and that it was fun.  Bob posts in response, "Barf".  They get into a bit of words about it and I post (thinking to lighten the mood):  Some movies are movies and films are films.  And Bob, everyone knows you love the 50s surfer movies, so let Al have his Rock of Ages".

This turns into Bob going after me personally, in a rude enough manner that Al gets on his page and has to delete everything.

Then, Bob has the audacity to TEXT me (not attempt face to face adult communication) that  I had talked to Bob about Al's lack of immaturity before, that seeing Rock of Ages was a sign of immaturity and why would I get involved when Bob is attempting to take Al to task for his immaturity?  W.  T.  F!?!  

I took care of it, but I'm still a bit miffed.

  • WTF (who tf) cares enough what movies someone chooses to spend their time watching enough to stalk pages and post crap about it?!?!?  These people need more important things in their lives to worry about, apparently.

  • Oh good grief.  It is a movie.  Are you sure there isn't something else going on there?

  • Zsa, I have thought before that Bob was jealous of my and Al's friendship.  I think that's silly.  Bob has another female friend named Sue that he's been friends with for 30 years.  I wasn't jealous of Sue, we actually get along well enough that she's called me when she's visiting here.

    IDK, it was all just very odd.  I can see Bob being irritated about me interjecting and forgive that, but when he launched into Al's maturity level, I can't concieve of any reason he thinks that's any of his business.

    The other weird thing is that Bob has followed me in another comment on Al's page, again being snarky.  I know FB let's you know when friends comment on friend's pages, but it still feels skeevy to me.  I don't think he's trying to be weird, I think he just is being weird.  Al has asked if I want him to unfriend Bob and I've been considering telling him yes.  But it's not my page.  Weirdo.

    Bob has some sort of issue.  Midlife crisis?  Jealousy?  Feels father figurely?
  • Well, considering I want to see Rock of Ages for completely immature reasons, I suppose there must be something wrong with me too. 

    Bob totally has issues.
