I haven't read the whole thread I am so important I don't care if this has been said fifty times already, it's not been said until I've said it.

AIBU? give me some sympathy and agree with me

I don't mean any offence but... I am a twat

I'm not being rude but... I am a twat

There must be more. Snark away...

Lolol. I am definitely going to read something on here and just see I'm a twat now.

Except when I read something pedantic about grammar that ignores the actual post as per Passenger's excellent example. Then I will read I'm a self important twat Grin

Yawn = I'm a twat
'we' have done this before = I'm a twat
it's you're not your = I'm a twat
End of (intent - to end the discussion, Since they have spoken, the Last Word has been had) = I'm a twat

Grin

That lack of paragraphs in your post makes it unreadable = I don't care how deeply distressed you are, I never miss an opportunity to be the grammar police on here.

AmandaPayneAteTooMuchChocolate · 04/04/2013 17:29

I have read the first four pages = I can't be arsed to read the whole thread but I don't want you all to tell me off for not reading the thread.

MiaCulper · 04/04/2013 17:29

Have you name-changed for this?

If yes, I'm going to try to work out your usual posting name and out you, despite your attempt at anonymity.

If no, see Interesting first post.

AmandaPayneAteTooMuchChocolate · 04/04/2013 17:28

= I know that this is a troll, but I just can't leave well alone

= I don't know how to 'watch' a thread

FrankWippery · 04/04/2013 17:27

You sound like a twat - You are a twat.

Oh yes Tee Grin Which leads nicely to that other staple of the G&T board...

Just enjoy him = I am bitterly jealous and just want to piss on your chips

But I want to protect the poor, mug-like, lesser MNers from getting drawn in by an evil troll = this is the 73rd post calling troll in two pages, but I couldn't bear to be left out of the pack pile-on.

(Lesser spotted nowadays.)

ImTooHecsyForYourParty · 04/04/2013 17:26

Grin tee. Or
I'm worried my child isn't normal because he is really interested in learning latin and has an iq of 1062.

Away with you, braggy braggerson! Grin

usualsuspect · 04/04/2013 17:26

marks place = I'm not really interested in your plight I'm just nosey.

I've just seen that thread Fanjo. Inspired I give you...

I don't want some big debate = I want to rile you all up because I am an attention seeking twat and/or 14 and on school hols.

The other night there was a brilliant chorus of, "Where's the OP?" and, "Still no update?" etc.,etc, starting at about 9.15pm, when the OP had said that she was going to have a serious talk with her DH, who was expected home at 9pm.

FGS, give the woman half a chance before you start your rubber-necking.

Tee2072 · 04/04/2013 17:22

I don't want to brag, but do you think my child is gifted because they can recite all of Shakespeare, do advanced maths and has written a novel? He's 2. - I know my child is gifted. I just like to brag.

usualsuspect · 04/04/2013 17:22

Leave the bastard = he's a twat, and I have nothing useful/helpful to add to the conversation, but I want to stick my oar in anyway.

"My cousin's, daughter's friend had X Y Z happen" = I am making this up because I want to make my point sound more weighty but I have no evidence.

K8Middleton · 04/04/2013 17:15

You can't disagree with a regular without all their clique piling in to have a go = I have been an arse, called on it and I'm still persisting in being an arse.

OP posts:
MiaCulper · 04/04/2013 17:14

You sound lovely. = Despite your OP making it plain that you are distressed/hurt/angry/confused, I'm going to pick you up one word you may have used in an ill-judged manner in the white heat of posting.

(Often followed by a little humphy face.)

I'm not looking for a bun fight = I'm so totally looking for a bun fight I have just drooled in my lap in anticipation.
