Most people have stories of how or why or when they blocked someone. It could be an annoying ex that just doesn't seem to get the message, or some internet troll who thinks the world revolves around them. Why did you save yourself?

I recently blocked my sister in law and her moron husband. They were staying with us and I had to have a kidney biopsy done. This required me to be overnight in the hospital to watch for internal bleeding. When my husband brought me home on Saturday morning they were blaring music and making as much noise as they possibly could. My husband asked them to turn the music down so that I could go to sleep, and while they did turn it down as soon as my husband walked away from them her husband started yelling 'F--- her and F--- her nap, who sleeps in the middle of the day, its time to get loud and party as well as saying everyone hates me and I should just F--- off. Well my husband heard all this and confronted them and it turned into an even bigger argument. One in which his sister accused of us doing illegal things (we aren't), not taking care of our kids (we do), and defrauding the government (of course not). Funny thing is, she is guilty of all these things but wanted to make us look like we are. Let's just say they are no longer welcome in our lives or our children's as we can not be sure of what kind of crazy stuff they may say to them when we are not present.

When my cousin texted me that I wasnt "family" anymore, and that she would teach her 4 kids to disrespect me (I helped take care of them while living with them for 2 years)
This is after she ran around calling my immediate family and friends (mom dad sisters coworkers etc.) and told them that i was trying to "steal" her wife from her...

I get a text from a friend asking if she could ask me a really weird question. I say go for it.
Long story short, she was showing this guy some pictures of her boyfriend and showed a picture with me it it. The guy saw the picture and asked her if he could meet me. He was apparently a friend of a friend.
She asks me and I warily say yes, knowing I could block him because he wanted to meet over Instagram.
I was very 2D with him and didn't say much about myself, but red flags were popping up. He said that my friend told him that I am a country kid and liked Christian guys, send me pictures of himself for no reason, he was in high school still (I'm a freshman in college) and goes to a no-name school on my town. I played along and being polite.
Then he said that he makes me happy.
This was two hours after exchanging insta handles.
Instant block.
Apparently told my friend that I made him happy and that I was really pretty. She knew she made a mistake when that happened.

It was a whole drama in a small community, that I was absent for so I had missed it. I kept in contact with the guy (SB) not knowing anything had happened and one day I invited him to a discord server called "Counting" (it had a stupid KEL picture as the icon) and I got a message telling me to remove SB and block him. I trusted the person who sent me the message (HM) and so I asked why. Turns out SB was very sexist and was very toxic. I trusted HM and removed and blocked SB.

On an art site, I had attracted someone who liked my work. No big deal at first. One day, she asked for a request despite the fact that I don't take requests. I was getting worried that she was going to be one of those "choosing beggars" I had heard horror stories about, especially because her request was quite literally worded as "please please please draw this for me", but thankfully she took it fairly well at first.
However, I later learned that she had traced one of my art pieces to make into a free-to-use base, and was using this base for her own drawings. Promptly blocked her after that, and then blocked her again when she made a new account just to get around it.

On Reddit, there was this one user who would constantly cyberbully me. The last straw was when they called me a swear word and told me to kill myself. I have now cut all ties with this person and have gone offline.

There's this one girl who I've been friends with for a while now. She kind of "weird" as people would describe her but I didn't care.
See the thing with her is she does not respect boundaries. I don't know if it's just me but at a certain point she was being obnoxious and always crossing the line. Like how I keep telling her I genuinely hate it when she steals things from my backpack and makes me do some obscure thing to get it back. Like what?😅 we are in highschool
Anyway, one day I posted a funny photo of my cat stretched out on my bed(Like a normal catowner) and she responded to my story with "Do you f*ck your cat?"
I still kind of talk to her today and I genuinely don't know how to unblock her

A friend of mine had been crossing boundaries I had made very clear to them. These included things along the lines of sending me cursed images and depression jokes when they had been told not to because it was hurting my mental health. They also consistently were getting my pronouns wrong (I go by they/them). It got to the point I talked to two different school counselors about her actions before eventually blocking her. I eventually unblocked her since I didn’t want to lose a friendship I have had since I was 7. Our relationship is better currently, but still slightly strained.

Guys sorry for paragraph but I need to give a lot of background info:
In year 6, I had a good friend called... let's use her real name because she deserves to be confronted... Zahrah. Me and Zahrah were inseperable. We wrote songs together and planned a courier together as singers. Only problem was, she had a horrible friend called Alexa. Now Alexa was your mean-girl stereotypical soon-to-be-bully, and i didn't notice all of the huge red flags popping up. She'd exclude me in group activities and had a really mean friend Elyce. Elyce was MEAN. She was rough and she swore a lot and she went through puberty before all of us, so we thought she was "SO cool". Then we have side members, Halle and Narjes (Jess for short).
When we went to camp, we were all put in the same cabin together. Mind you, I had not been diagnosed with autism, and only knew i had Anxiety, so i was already nervous to be there for...3 days i think? Anyways, I got super excited and was thinking how much fun this will be, and how I was not going to miss home as much. And so day 1 went well. But at night, i had a panic attack. You see, i also have not enough melatonin to put me to sleep, and now i taake meds for it, but at the time i needed music. But the headphones wouldnt connect with my iPod (as that was all i was permitted to take due to rules with no phone policies and my music was on the phone), and even the night guard had to come in and help with it, which i found even more terrifying at the time. But he was really nice. I kept sobbing and crying and breathing so lightly i thought i would pass out, but i calmed down eventually. Then he had me put on my music out loud. My friends said they were ok with that, but in the morning they were complaining about how loud and annoying it was.
Next day was ok, but GET THIS. My headphones finally connected that night, but my friends ASKED ME TO PUT IT ON SPEAKER. They said they were just joking then and said it was super calming, but i declined.
Last day, was super excited to go back home. That evening, in my cabin it was utter chaos. We had to get ready for a dancing thing to celebrate (?) and I was panicking again, so I did what calmed me down, and read my Harry Potter book. But Elyce and the others didnt understand. She yelled at me and called me a "f**king b***h" and the others pressured me until i had an overload. I was screaming and crying and they were saying "Don't cry like a baby, grow up!" I turned to my (at the time) Bff who i thought i could rely on, but she yelled at me too and abused me. I stormed out of the cabin and shut the door but they LOCKED IT. For ages i sat outside and cried, cuz i wasnt supposed to be out there and i would get in trouble, but then they opened the door and said really nicely that they were sorry, btu giggled and were acting weird. After that, I reported them to a really helpful teacher (Bless you, Ms Mackenzie) and she helped. That night, they woke me at like 2:45 by all going to the bathroom at the same time and flushing really loud, no regards to me. And then they started eating lollies that Elyce had stashed in her bag, WHICH WERE NOT ALOWED. I asked them to please stop, its too early, but they didn't, and so i asked more firmly. They were offended and rude, but quietened down, but at 3:00 they began talking louder once again, which woke me up AGAIN. I said "well i'm awake now, and there's no point going back to sleep now. Can I at least have some candy?" but to my utter horror and surprise, they told me "No, you were rude to us and have been mean the whole time and yelled at us. An anyways, there's nothing left!" and then laughed. So when I got back, long story short, they continued bullying me and so I eventually had to block Zahrah on everything i could possibly find and cut her out forever.
Sorry for the huge paragraph, I've been through a lot of sh!t... Don't read it if you don't want to. I hate hearing the name zahrah (sorry to all the nice Zahrahs)

I met my (ex) internet friend for the first time earlier this year. I visited her. I drove hours to her place, picked her up and drove even further to the capital to spend some quality time with her. Turns out she's full of herself. She only wanted to do what she likes, didn't care about what I wanted to do and talked about her self constantly. I was having a rough time this year but she didin't care. I stopped texting her when I got back home. She asked what was wrong and I just explained that with dealing with bs with a guy I liked, two jobs, no time off and moving it's really hard to grab a clear thought. Still she made it all about herself and about how hard her 2022 was as well - NO you live with your parents, don't have to pay for anything and you don't even have a job and don't care to get one! All she does is hang around her dads house all day but somehow thinks she has it harder than I do being on my own working 7 days a week. I don't want to pity myself but that made me so mad I just blocked her.

i had friends that had developed from working with them for over 20 yrs. we all retired and scattered to respective retired areas so social media was a connection we could keep. over the years we were together we respected each other and our respective views and opinions. but, once apart it seemed that respect fell apart. regardless of a post being twisted humor or funny political (nothing ever mean or insulting and it was the kind of thing we shared in connected life) i started getting sent to facebook jail on a regular basis. finally decided that i would not allow them to censor my thoughts anymore and blocked them. it's sad because i still care about them.

Chatting with a guy I had met on Facebook dating, and all seemed to be going okay... until he sent me an article about Richard Simmons. Okay? He knows I value getting in shape and losing weight? He said it reminded me of him. I asked him how, since the article was all about Simmons not being seen. He said, you're an introvert. Richard Simmons has become a shut-in, a recluse, and a hermit. Instant block and delete. Dude doesn't even comprehend my entire temperament, is completely ignorant of what introversion is, we are done. Let the ghosting begin.

I've never gotten along well with one of my cousins, for many reasons, but this was the final straw.
My daughter (who was almost 2 at the time) and I went to go stay with my aunt after she and my cousin came to visit.
They lived in Scotland, which is like a day's drive from where I used to live.
On the way, I was in the back with my daughter and cousin's son; my cousin and aunt were in the front. I was in the middle, and I could clearly see my cousin's phone as she was texting her fiancee at the time.

I'd never met the guy, and he knew nothing about me. My cousin sends a couple of texts to him; one said that I wanted nothing to do with my mum, even though she was dying of cancer.
Well, firstly, she was NOT dying; and secondly, my mum is an emotionally abusive narcissist, and we have a difficult relationship.
My cousin then sent another message, saying that I called my daughter fat, but feed her nothing but junk.
I have NEVER called my daughter fat; and do not feed her junk all the time.

I didn't say anything at the time, but it was awkward af when I then had to meet this guy in person.
After we got home, I sent my cousin a FB message, telling her I'd seen the texts, and thought she was a POS for that and other reasons; then I blocked her.
That was like the second time in my life I'd felt able to call anyone out on their bs.

Who the F*** doesn’t like cinnamon Altoids? I got my friend some last year for his birthday and he threw them on the ground and said “F*** these, You know I don’t like cinnamon!”. Like wtf dude! It’s a birthday present!
I ended up sharing them with another friend in my computer science class.
F*** you Leo!
