A stranger you have never met posts limited details about a scenario that they have experienced/witnessed and are annoyed about. Do you

a) agree it annoys you too
b) demand more details before giving a decision and criticse their spelling and grammar
c) intimate that you are only 3 cousins removed form the Dalai Lama and thus forgive the person, love them and wouldn't ever get annoyed at anything ever, and anyone who does get annoyed is just too sensitive for their own good
d) come up with various, and increasingly unlikely excuses/reasons for the person behaving like they did including (in no particular order): dire nail emergency, dire child related emergency, dire need of sex related emergency, rare disease affecting 1 in 10,000 people but could have been that, bizarre circumstances that would mean someone had to ram a baguette up your nose or the world would end
e) accept that sometimes people are a bit rude, and that's life really

'Mom' is:

a) Only used by Americans, bloody yanks, coming over here and using our forums, how dare they, taking over the world with their bastardised English, and while I'm here I'll tell you about this really stupid American I met once when I was in New York/Disneyland. . .

b) Used by Brummies, you London-centric bunch of twits

c) Do you really care what other people call their mothers? Really?

d) Done to death, I can't believe someone has started another thread about it.

genuine question what are the [pombears] and is it a good or bad thing if you get one and why isnt the emoticon in the list of smileys - does that mean only a select few get to use it?

A post asks in Property and DIY for advice on buying a house for £850 000.
Is your helpful response :

A) £850K? Alright for some. I can't even afford £85!

B) Hmm, you'd be hard pushed to buy a lock up garage where I live for that price. Can you stretch to £2m?

C) Thanks to the bastard evil Tories house prices are sky high. Eighteen month sago under labour you could buy a whole town in the South east for that price.
