Could it be that she just thought of funny bird story and didn’t mean any offense? I like to tell the story how pigeon pooped on my head in Paris. My daughter and I sat under the tree on this beautiful boulevard very much enjoying ourselves and then we heard this splash sound and it was literally the largest pile of bird poop, then my daughter tried to wipe it off using a napkin and bottle of water and ended smearing it all over my hair. No disrespect to bird lovers. Just funny story? My dad is big bird lover, he thinks this story is funny too.

My best friend is very much dog lover but I think it’s ok to tell a story how my brother went looking for his tennis ball that fell in the bushes and he grab a handful of dog poop. She isn’t offended because she herself stepped into her own dog poop in her own yard! My best friend dislikes birds and is scared of them. She makes jokes about birds all the time. Yet others like birds. It’s ok though.

I mean these are stupid poop stories and there’s nothing meaningful or deep about them but they don’t necessarily mean to offend. Maybe it’s annoying when the timing is wrong? How well do you know this person? Do you communicate outside of Facebook? If she told this story face to face would her voice sound snarky? There’s a lot of miscommunication online. Social media is really so drama and arguments inducing and lately there is a lot of hate so there is that.

I don’t know this person so I believe that if you say she is mean, of course she is mean. But there must be more than her telling stupid jokes
