This is why you shouldn't read your emails in public

[Fraca]

Just received an email from a colleague - the email was entitled "Shits Today". She's sent it to approximately 100 people and I wish, more than I've wished for anything in a long time, that I could see a) her face when she realises what she's sent, and b) read the replies she gets.

Im in a cafe and am trying very very hard not to laugh out loud!

Spot on. 😁

@AgaMM and that's your contribution today is it? Belittling a poster in a public forum..well done you.

I once received an email from my line manager commenting on a paper I had written, telling me that I needed to consider the impact of the proposed service change on the "feral elderly". That conjured up some highly entertaining mental images.

And not to mention the "genital reminder" email I got from someone about completing a template that she was waiting for, which she sent to at least 20 people...

Wasn't there a mumsnet thread years ago that complained they tried to take their bag into the cinema with food it it but that security took it away from them and "licked it in a locker"

My FIL messaged a very prim and proper lady last week following a lunch she had hosted. Sadly he thanked her for the 'woeful' rather than wonderful food....

Loving the shits, the shites and the discocunts.

And yes, I laugh at them all because I'm a child.

We all need a disco cunt in our lives

🙄

Love it, and agree I would find it hard not to laugh out loud at something like that in public. I don't care if that makes me immature, etc!

Although "to shift someone" means to shag someone in Ireland so would have been even worse here 😆

When the party is actually fun, I believe I am. Do you know me?!

Where’s the belittling?

My son’s school report said he was a conscious child.
it’s true I guess.

Thanks OP, this thread has made me
laugh out loud!

This thread has reminded me of a card that was sent round at work for everyone to sign for someone who was retiring. It was one of those musical cards that played Cliff Richard's 'Congratulations' when you opened it. People were trying to sign it without opening it too much so as not to alert the retiree, so once it started playing they'd close it just enough to sign it. We were in fits because all you kept hearing was "cunt" "cunt "cunt" coming from various desks all day.

You're very easily amused OP.

If the fun sponges could just fuck off and let the rest of us can enjoy the thread, that would be great. Thanks.

Who pissed on your chips?

This thread is gold. Really brightened up my day.

An awful lot of boot faces people here today, so you never get the giggles yourselves? For me it's spoonerisms, they have me on fits, probably leave others cold.

Perhaps she is, but that's a lot better than being a miserable cow who can't wait to sneer at someone's else's harmless enjoyment, isn't it?

Fair enough. I mean I don't really understand the post or why the email was funny. I also don't understand why it's an AIBU and not in Chat. But duly chastened I'm fucking off.

Hahahahaha! This is glorious stuff.

I once sat in a huge conference hall, audience of thousands, where the main speaker walked on to the stage, started up his PowerPoint presentation which was projected on the wall, and started talking, oblivious to the fact that the title said 'LOCAL DEMOCRACY - IMPROVING PUBIC CONFIDENCE'.

The public/pubic typo is one that anyone who works in the public sector is usually very alert to, so it was surprising that it had slipped through. Particularly given that it was written in letters that, when projected, were about a metre high.

@luckylavender It is in Chat. Not sure where you're looking, but this is Chat, not AIBU.

So it is. I'll go back to bed.

This is not an airport. You do not need to announce a departure.

👋

I am very very happy that this thread has made some people (me included) smile. That's made today a worthwhile one for me :).
