FB, best passive aggressive tool ever!!!!

VarunaTT

MIL sent a forward to me (not to DH) that I did not enjoy.  I have to endure enough of this crap @ work, I'm not getting it in my personal e-mail, thankssomuch.  I e-mailed her back and said please don't send me forwards anymore, I didn't enjoy reading things that had false (photoshopped picture) information and rude sexist and racist jokes.  She didn't respond.

(No, I didn't have to do this.  I wanted to, I'm not having her e-mail me this crap.  She and I have been round about this issue before.  Just b/c she doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, doesn't mean I have to or have to endure it.)

She then posts on her FB, "Don't you hate it when you forward something to someone as a joke and they take it completely wrong?".  DH and I are eyerolling about this.

Oh well.   She won't forward them to me again for another few years and that'll all I wanted.  Let her get her needed validation.

*snort* @ Heffa.

I'm not FB friends with her, so I didn't have to see it.  DH saw it and it induced the eye-rolling, then he told me.  I had already told him that I had e-mailed her to stop it again.  

This behavior is so predictable that it is almost funny.  The part I don't get is why I am not predictable to her.  She should know by now that I'm not going to tolerate her "funny" stuff and that I"m gonig to e-mail her back to say stop.  So, why bother?  Why get yourself worked up and have to post a vaguebook status for it?  I can only guess that she likes this stuff or somehow magically thinks I've become a different person.

I'd be so tempted to just comment "yup" on her FB status.

There's a reason why we're not FB friends.  I have a lot of self control when it comes to her now, but I do have limits.  FB status would definitely be straining it. So, I just don't.

I would post on my facebook page (in response):

"Don't you hate it when someone posts something about you, but does it in a passive aggressive attempt to make a point, without mentioning your name, and rather vaguely referencing an incident that you know is about you?"
