I join in the fist shaking.

As a possible distractions (I'm not sure if this has already been shared on the board as I do tons of skimming and skipping these days) - vagina baby shower cakes. Even less work safe than you are probably imagining. [link] (Some have teeth).

That is the most disturbing thing I've ever seen.

Steph, that disgruntled lady was actually on the list of people you'd invite if you had room? I imagine for any future festivities, she won't be on the list at all. What a pill.

I must be seriously exhausted from working all weekend in the not air conditioned office because I thought those were hysterical. Although if I went to an event that had one I might feel differently.

The comments on that are hysterical, especially all the people who scrolled up to look at #3 again.

I thought #7 wasn't really a cake, but an art installation. Their stuff is brilliant, savage, and tasty-looking.

The rest? Look very cakey and in significantly less good manners.

Having a friend's face to directly associate with the vulva in question would really change things, and not for the better unless I had extremely warm fuzzies about her warm fuzzy.

(And the funniest part is that this person, earlier in the summer, was invited to a mutual friend's wedding that Tim and I weren't invited to, and she posted pictures, and my reaction was "Wedding pictures YAAAAAAAY!!!" I totally missed the part where I was supposed to be hurt that someone else's wedding wasn't all about me.)

See, now, to me this seems like a perfectly reasonable response.

But I'm an asshole sometimes.

Word. If you'd like to be an even BIGGER asshole you could tag on, "looks like we made the right call here."

I have a real peeve against "blind items" in social media. You're not Michael Musto so you're an eighth grader. Seriously. More than once I've just embraced my a-hole tendencies and flat-out lectured people on this. If there is even the teeeeniest tiiiiiniest possibility that the people you are referring to could see it just stifle yourself. Don't do it. Never do it. Its bullshit. Just don't.

You should have an X-mas or Solstice or whatever party and invite everyone but her and send her a note saying space was limited so you couldn't invite everybody but you knew she'd understand.

Passive aggressive bullshit in general bothers the fuck out of me - social media or not. If you haven't complained to the person directly first, then shut the fuck up. If you are feeling hurt you weren't invited, then email Tep and then perhaps you could have a conversation or have a celebratory gathering for people who couldn't/weren't able to go.

There was someone I knew years ago who celebrated her marriage with something like 10 parties because she and he came from huge families and acquaintances and they couldn't all be invited to the wedding.

You do not know how many times I have nearly shouted "work it out in thread!" To work people and others who would have no idea what the f I'm talking about.

Venting I get. If you say, "Some people need to step the fuck OFF" about, say, your 85 year old in laws who you don't want to name by name but are never going to read facebook its relatively harmless. But its still probably better avoided.

I have one blessedly former friend who is the QUEEN of the passive aggressive tweet. "Sigh... left out AGAIN". Honestly. 43 years old and she tweets that.

Man do I not miss her.
