To feel inconvenienced by a tragic accident?

You are not unreasonable OP. It’s human nature to think of ourselves. When you have been looking forward to something and something stops it happening, the disappointment can be overwhelming.

Ignore the virtue signallers.

Not at all.

Flip it. Someone post’s on here that their OH was killed driving to work and they saw a comment on Facebook from someone moaning that their day had been ruined because of the resulting traffic delays. Everyone would be outraged and sympathising with the poster.

A bit like this thread.

Exactly.
The people parroting this term, are using it to make themselves feel better, so repetitive.
How dare anyone have a different opinion to theirs!

No they are not, some people just care. Not sure why you can’t wrap your head around that fact. Sheesh.

No, it's not.

Yeah OP, please make sure you spend the rest of your days carrying a heavy sense of morose at ALL the tragedy that’s going on in the world

Unnecessary and unfair.

Someone will be getting a knock on the door to commence everyone’s worse nightmare and all you have to worry about is having to eat a take away instead of a sit down meal.
Imagine someone you love going out and never coming back, then imagine someone being pissed off because your loved one died and ruined their day.,
Then realise how much of a dick you are.

Tragic things happen constantly all over the world. We might be unwittingly benefitting from some of them. You should show respect but it's not possible to feel sad about every single tragedy if you don't know anything about the victims.

How original of you.Seem to remember op saying this.Hmm interesting.

So we all have different experiences.

I was annoyed when a couple of posters said the person who got killed was probably not innocent. I lost a Brother in a car accident, no fault of his own.

A lot of people who didnt know him have had empathy for what happened. It doesn't mean they are virtue signallers.

At least you can see it. That's something.

Nah just a sense of humour

Do you need some smelling salts?

How old are you 10? lol

Who's made a big performance about caring? OP asked the question. No-one has started a thread about how much they care or that they give to charity.

I think you can feel both. I once had a train delayed due to someone jumping on tracks. I did feel for the person and their family AND I was annoyed that I was going to miss my flight and miss my friends wedding. Selfishly my own inconvenience was the forethought.

Not at all, read my first post on here where I told her perspective was needed. I just can’t stand grief vultures and virtue signallers which mumsnet is full of and that I’ve had experience with in real life.

It really isn't.

OP asked the question first. Then proceeded to post other delightful comments. You seem to be her number 1 fan.

So why refer to me as Doris, was that meant to be a compliment? it’s an older person’s name, how many people, who are young are called Doris🙄
You really are showing your true colours, on this thread, just getting annoyed with posters because your thread isn’t going your way.

There is a term that exists - I hope someone can remember what it is - that demonstrates that those who make a big performance out of ‘caring’ are usually the ones that you need to watch out for

Exactly this except I will go one step further…
Its like giving to charity ONLY so you can tell everyone and then asking all of your friends if they give to charity and telling them they are awful people if they don’t

Have a 🥇.

Some people are even ‘better’ than you. They care and don’t have to tell everyone they care because it’s real and not virtue signalling. People that tell people they care in the way they have on this thread are virtue signalling, it’s like people who give to charity and tell people.

Love it.
