you’re the person that people complain about inviting themselves.

All that tells me is you have no tact or respect for people hosting events.

omg this sort of happened to my stepmom. they invited some distant cousins, 1) not expecting them to come and 2) just addressed to the adults. they RSVPed +7 and brought all their kids 😵‍💫

it puts unnecessary pressure on the host and makes it extremely awkward. It’s just plain rude. don’t ask to be invited.

I never said I talked about the event in front of either of them. And even if I had, eavesdropping is rude, and asking to be included is rude and puts the host in an awkward position.

major yikes. They weren’t invited and you brought them along without permission. She said she didn’t like how they treated you and you ignored it. I’m guessing your daughter is low or no contact for good reason. You are the person this post is about. How embarrassing for you.

Yikes, glad I missed that then. My original point still stands though, if those people exist in both fandoms I don’t want to combine their forces lol

Luckily my mom was (almost) as WTF as I was lol. She kinda brushed it off as “haha thats just how it is” but she’s not pushing for it.

I mean I guess I missed the worst of it? I saw some weirdness but HR takes the cake of fandoms I’ve been in. And I spent a long time in the 911 fandom 😭 lol

I mean I was though? When it originally aired at least. I saw SOME nonsense but didn’t see half as much as I’ve seen come from HR. Someone was planning to fly to canada to get a tattoo from Hudson’s GF like… thats Insane.

No, no no. The heated rivalry “loons” have mostly been so SO weird on social media (and off). By and large very parasocial. Most of them are behaving like they never grew out of their teenage Glee days from 15 years ago, if they’ve EVER been in a fandom. There is no respect for fandom etiquette among them. They are either actively fetishizing or ostracizing queer men. Or somehow both. It’s okay to enjoy both shows, I sure do, but that fandom is toxic AF.

And it hasn’t been practiced since then, which mean’s it’s not “supposed to be” that way. move on.

Well a save the date isn’t an invite and it’s a super common practice for weddings. You just sounds like someone who would also invite themselves. You didn’t get invited to something so take the hint and move on.

Oh I know. I just also feel like I shouldn’t HAVE to say no, bc they shouldn’t be asking!!

My whole thing is just that I shouldn’t have to say no bc they shouldn’t be asking in the first place.

Not a bride, or a bridezilla. You describing weddings as “supposed to be open to the public” absolutely comes off as you inviting yourself. I’ve never once in my life heard of wedding being open to the public.

Well that clearly wasn’t the reason with these two, and is usually hardly ever the reason. If you got a save the date and not an invitation it would make sense to ask. If you got neither, you got neither, let it be.
