I've fixed so many crowns over the last couple of days my superglue has run out

And I seem to have glued my thumb and little finger together.
Seiously, anyone else find themselves eye rolling very frequently at this? Clearly I need to be nice.

Is this a metaphor for people's emotions?
Or literally teeth?!

StealthPolarBear · 19/02/2020 20:15

Ooh I never th ought teeth. I assumed tiara type crowns
This seems to be a chain letter thing doing the rounds about being nice

Yes totally agree.

tywysoges · 19/02/2020 20:23

AIBU to be upset I’ve only been tagged once? Grin

LoonyLunaLoo · 19/02/2020 20:25

I thought teeth too 😂 I wasn’t sure if you had a lot of teeth or you were glueing other peoples!

But I get you know and I agree it’s a stupid idea.

yogo · 19/02/2020 20:26

I've noticed it's all the bitchiest people I know posting it.

And yes eye rolling and tutting here.

StealthPolarBear · 19/02/2020 20:28

Ooh I'll polish all your crowns on this thread:)

My brain went straight to teeth at the title too Grin

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 19/02/2020 20:31

It’s shit-especially on the ones you’re not tagged-completely missing the point that it’s not about that-it’s so much fucking more then fixing crowns and being kind.

dudsville · 19/02/2020 20:33

So, i now know that you aren't talking about teeth, but i don't know what you are talking about!

frillyfarmer · 19/02/2020 20:33

It just seems to be an opportunity for people to share another photo of themselves in a bid to fish for likes.

I think if we want to lift our friends up and "fix crowns" go and see them. Call in for a cuppa, phone them - actually exercise some care and effort directed towards them rather than tagging them in some menial post with another 10 females.

Hearhoovesthinkzebras · 19/02/2020 20:35

I have been tagged in 10 of the stupid things today alone. I'm studiously ignoring them all.

I am sickened by the narrative accompanying them - whether or not the allegations of DV would have been proven in court in this case is largely irrelevant it's the fact that so many people seem to be so openly excusing a potential da (maybe they were both drunk, maybe he'd annoyed her in some way, she thought he'd been.cheati g on her, he should never have phoned the police...) The narrative that this is spreading about the seriousness of dv, about how society considers the victim to be at fault or to blame has shocked me. As I say, no.matter what the facts of this 1.case are the attitudes that are being expressed and shared about DV really need addressing.

SnorkMaiden81 · 19/02/2020 20:38

It's just self indulgent bullshit isn't it.

I don't wear a crown. I have a bright yellow hard hat with a torch on it and it's already fixed firm.

StealthPolarBear · 19/02/2020 20:40

Dudsville I'm assuming it's a metaphor for build others up, don't slag them off.i do get the irony.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 19/02/2020 20:41

I’ve seen the posts, no one has asked me to “fix their crown” so don’t know what that says. Seems attention seeking to me.

SnorkMaiden81 · 19/02/2020 20:42

Actually, I do feel better for that little buff. Who knew? Grin

StealthPolarBear · 19/02/2020 20:43

No I've not actually been tagged in any. I'm just bitter :o

anothernamejeeves · 19/02/2020 20:45

Honestly social media is really starting to piss me off

woooooo · 19/02/2020 20:50

I too thought you were on about teeth, was going to reply about not using superglue for crowns as it kills the teeth 🤣 🤣
I've been tagged twice. I have not passed it on. Don't need to post a picture of myself to fix mine, or anybody else's crown thank you 🤷‍♀️

TheBigFatMermaid · 19/02/2020 20:51

I've been tagged eleventy billion times!

Izzwizzo · 19/02/2020 20:54

This has been all over my Facebook today and has given me the proper rage. It's supposed to be about building each other up but the message "don't take offence if I didn't tag you" makes me gip!! If it was about building people up then no-one would be excluded. I couldn't care less but it does worry me that others who might feel hurt by this exclusion could be the very vulnerable ones that this post is supposed to empower. As others have said it's just another "look at my photo, am I not amazing" load of balls! Breathes out and heads back to fridge for wine moves on

StealthPolarBear · 19/02/2020 20:54

Humph. You must be very photogenic

OP posts:
StealthPolarBear · 19/02/2020 20:55

Amazing and kind

I snorted my freshly retrieved wine out at that

My most humble apologies of course they are all very very batshit tedious kind
