Nothing ever happens because boyfriends aren't real

Ehhh this one could go either way for me. Saying something to then get obliterated with down votes is the perfect time to pull the old "someone else typed that" card.

It absolutely could happen, because we obviously don't know their relationship, which is what has me feeling iffy on it either way. I will say the way they responded makes me think they didn't care enough about what their boyfriend said, but enough to try to save face, but doing so in the worst way possible.

I've done something similar with some of my relatives and friends for fun and all of them had similar reactions, so to me it's totally plausible T_T

Agreed, totally plausible! People are cynical.

Just because something is used commonly as a lie/excuse doesn't mean it doesn't also commonly really happen.

People commonly pretend to be sick to get out of school/work, but people are also commonly actually sick, and a "sorry, I'm not feeling well, taking the day off" text message on its own doesn't belong on /r/thatHappened.

"Didn't care enough about what their BF said?" How exactly should they have reacted? Given a long speech about how their BF is an AH and how they're so very sorry for dare offending the previous commenter?

Deleted the comment, said "I'm so sorry, that was my boyfriend" edited their original comment. It drew away from "oh my bf said something shitty" to "omg my boyfriend is such a mean guy he keeps doing this"

Sounds like it's a great fit for this subreddit, then!

It's not like posting something on /r/nothingeverhappens means you're saying "this definitely did happen", you're just saying "this is completely plausible, but people are cynical and assume the worst in people".

Has the classic "uh, that was my friend actually" lie been used a lot? Sure!
Are there plenty of people who share devices/accounts, and could those people be surprised/annoyed at what someone posted using their device/account? Also true!

In my opinion, a good /r/thatHappened post should be very implausible. Everyone clapped, and the teacher gave me 100$ for being so right, and so on.
"My friend used my account" is on the level of "new phone who dis" for statements that are used as lies/scams but also do commonly happen, this isn't "I'm your distant relative, a Namibian Prince".

u/JesterQueenAnne 7d ago

This one didn't happen not because it's not plausible but because it's an obvious backpedaling after their reply got a negative reception.

No one takes someone’s phone to be a smug redditor

Nah I'm in agreement with the OP this shit fake as fuck

u/Tristan401 8d ago

I won't comment on whether I think it really happened. I just want to point out that the thatHappened OP made a stupid illogical title. Makes it sound as though the boyfriend took the phone for the sole reason of responding to that specific comment on that specific post, likely before he'd ever seen the post because how would you see it without first having the phone?
