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.

No-one has tagged me yet. I prefer to wear a beret anyway.

Fanciedachange1 · 19/02/2020 22:07

Ugh I saw one with the caption “...don’t be offended if I haven’t tagged you but I had to pick the best people who I thought would be up for a laugh and join in with the fun...”

That just doesn’t sound right with this message about kindness!

SpaceDinosaur · 19/02/2020 22:56

@Fanciedachange1 that's freaking brilliant!!!

Anyone else noticed that the people participating in this drivel are the ones who were typically the bitches, who post attention seeking posts, do things for "likes" but you wouldn't think of as "there" for you or as a "kind" person?

I untag myself, delete the post and curse them under my breath 🤬
Ugh! Want to make a difference? The. Touch base with people and LISTEN

@SnorkMaiden81 my crown is bright yellow too but I don’t have a torch, I feel sad now. I’d look a bit of a twat with a torch on my head onsite in broad daylight but I want one!

I’ve not seen this but I scroll fb like a pro looking for silly videos and ignore pretty much everything else, never check my notifications either.

The whole situation is odd to me, very sad of course but the public outpouring and brushing over of potential dv then all this kindness stuff and news articles.

@StealthPolarBear I thought teeth too, I was wondering what awful accident had befallen the op to need to glue so many back together!

Saisong · 20/02/2020 06:43

I don't know whether to be please or pissed that this has passed me by on social media - I've only heard tell on here and one oblique reference on FB which was a slagging post anyway.

I shall take from that that one has a better class of friend; who have butlers for that kind of thing Wink

ChidiAnagonye · 20/02/2020 06:45

I have been tagged. To which I duly untagged myself. (Doubt they would’ve noticed as about 100 people friends women they know were also tagged).

harrietthepie · 20/02/2020 06:47

Nobody has tagged me, I doubt they will except one person who comes across as nice and caring on fb but in reality doesn't give a fuck.

PatchworkElmer · 20/02/2020 06:51

Nobody has tagged me either, thank goodness!

I’ve also done some internal eye rolling at known workplace bullies sharing it. They wouldn’t know what kindness was if it danced naked in front of them.

FrenchFancie · 20/02/2020 07:01

No one has tagged me, thank god, and I’m not about to do one of these posts.
It’s like those stupid ‘reach out I’m always here’ posts. I was once in such a dark place that I was thinking of ending it and trust me, I would not have wanted to reach out to anyone! My mental illness made me believe that I wasn’t worthy of taking people’s time up.
If you are truly concerned about your friends, stop making stupid Facebook posts and call up the person who has dropped off the radar a bit and ask them if they are ok? Do they fancy a coffee and a catch up?!?

theneverendinglaundry · 20/02/2020 07:06

@frillyfarmer couldn't have put it better myself. Absolutely this.

Yestermost · 20/02/2020 07:17

I am very proud not have been tagged as I would be the least likely person to copy and share any bullshit post.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 20/02/2020 07:58

I've been tagged two or three times. I dont wear a crown. I wear noise cancelling headphones so I dont have to listen to peoples relentless bullshit.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 20/02/2020 08:00

Are we supposed to share it after tagging?

No, fuck that. Dont need to social media to tell me to be kind.

Oblomov20 · 20/02/2020 08:23

This has really pissed me off in so many ways.

The crowns. The 'I didn't tag you, but don't be offended', people even posting about it.

She had chronic self esteem issues, depressed for a year after winning strictly. She had terrible relationship choices.

We'll never know what truely went on.
He was a z lister, who loves the fame. He probably was cheating with the 60 year old tennis lessons lady. Did she throw his phone. Or hit him with a lamp? His phone call : ' she's trying to kill me' makes him sound like a wet blanket dweeb.

Most of my teenagers friends have MH issues, and the girls are cutting their arms. They can't get a camhs appointment for 18 mths. Let's address that, the cuts to MH, rather than CF and tennis Lewis. Hmm

Oblomov20 · 20/02/2020 08:24

I too thought you'd been supergluing people's teeth from the title.

IndecentFeminist · 20/02/2020 08:27

I haven't been tagged. But have eye rolled a lot at the missed irony of 'no offence if I didn't tag you, I tagged those I thought would make this fun' 🙄😂

camelfinger · 20/02/2020 08:31

Meanwhile men are beating the shit out of each other and women. Such bullshit that it’s assumed that a better society will be achieved by women princessing on the internet.

Deedypus · 20/02/2020 12:43

I’ve only seen one of these thankfully and the woman posting it is desperately lonely so I presume the whole crown thing is an attention seeking post.

I normally feel quite sorry for her as she’s just a bit awkward/blunt and has been actively bullied by the people she thinks of as her friends in this area (she’s from abroad) but I’m not sure she realises this. I can’t be doing with her friends as they are archetypal Mean Girls material so keep my distance. It’s a shame she doesn’t too rather than “fixing” their already odd egos.

JuniperBeer · 20/02/2020 15:13

Ahhhhh. Just seen one. NOW I know what you're on about. It's almost as bad as the "I like bananas" or whatever for "raising awareness of breast cancer" 🙄

StealthPolarBear · 20/02/2020 15:27

Ooh you're in our little club now :) welcome, come on in and let's laugh at all the others on the outside.

MrsWombat · 20/02/2020 15:28

If you are confused about what this is all about, take a look at the facebook profile of that relative/colleague that you have unfollowed but have to have as a friend otherwise they'll be a row. I bet she's been tagged and shared. Grin

CormoranStrike · 20/02/2020 17:37

Hah @MrsWombat that’s exactly how I found it!

PureAlchemy · 20/02/2020 17:43

I haven’t been tagged either.

The whole 'no offence if I didn't tag you, I tagged those I thought would make this fun' wording Hmm does come across (to me, anyway) as a bit of a veiled insult.

I’ve seen some other people share it with the wording changed to 'no offence if I didn't tag you, I tagged those I thought would take part’ which is better.
It’s got less of an “I've left the rest of you out because you’re joy sucking bores” vibe about it.
