Grrrrrrrrr

It really peeves me off when people add me to a group without asking me if I even want to join the said group. :mad:

DON'T do it!!!!!! :(

Grrrrrrrrrr

    Was it the Tony the Tiger group?
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.
    (Wisdom, Courage, Self-control, Justice)

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change

    Is that on Twitter mansey? I keep getting added to groups, don't really know why, never been asked/invited. Some of the group names are really random!

    No it was FaceBook for me :)

    Either would be annoying if you weren't asked first!!

    Just leave the group and ban the person who added you ;)

    How do I leave a group? Still getting to grips with being a Twit

    block the person who added you then unblock them
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    Find them on your following list and click unfollow, sorry I aint very techie :rotfl:

    Go to your Twitter name to the left is a number of people/groups/companies you are following, click the number and it opens them all up, find the ones you want to unfollow and click following and it changes to follow.

    I hope that makes sense ;)

    Sixth Anniversary Combo Breaker
    Drives me nuts too. I always leave the group and click the box that says no one else can add me in the future. I usually block whoever added me too as I think it is the height of bad manners. How rude!
    2017 wins = £1350
    2016 wins = £125 (18 months off comps)
    2015 wins = £6,460
    2014 wins = £1,350

    There seems to be a spate of it at the moment. When you get in to the groups - the group owners seems to be running a comp where the winner is the person that adds the most people to the group - inspiring them to do it.

    I know facebook rules (broken by many anyway) say you can't ask for tags and shares so surely adding people to groups without consent is way over that line....

    Not to mention most of the groups are a load of rubbish anyway - mainly 'big discounts on rubbish' groups.
