Miserable bitch that i am but folk get on my pigging nerves most of the time.

Its got worse as ive got older too.
I make no bones of the fact that its not a healthy or an advantageous trait of mine, but there you go.

On here i can slag folk off...get my arse kicked, i can tell you funny stuff that has happened, and you will laugh with me, i can tlel you how things REALLY have made me feel, from yesterday to 20 years ago, and you will say, its ok, i know what you mean. Some will say "actually, i disagree and this is why" this makes me think in a whole new direction that i would never ever consider.

I spend too much time on here i know, but i like it, and i like you all (mostly) and i like thae fact that there is always some one here.
So ta very much Grin

Genius beertricks

How about a tshirt that says

if you talk about shite I will fart.

LineRunner · 28/08/2011 16:47

Gay40, You are so right about the tyranny of phones. It's so good to know that there are people out there who understand that some of us just aren't cut out for telephonic communication.

You could deliberately piss off everyone and after a quick facechange you could be back in the gang again

yes, a fake moustache, a vial of tears to streak on your face and your pockets turned out, Dickensian orphan style.

OriginalPoster · 28/08/2011 16:59

Or walk up to complete strangers and say, I was just wondering...

'how many peoples have you slept with'
Or
'what should I say to my toxic SIL?'

With no preamble

Like you can on here

Gay40 · 28/08/2011 17:00

I always put the right address, but we rarely get post as I do everything online.

FellatioNelson · 28/08/2011 17:02

I abhor 'chatting' on the phone. Actually, once I am forced or shamed into doing it, it's not so bad, but I get almost phobic at the thought of phoning friends for a chat. That's why Facebook is a godsend for me. I can communicate in short, non-committal bursts so they know I'm not dead, but I don't have to commit to a long arduous conversation at a time when I'd rather be left alone to read a book and eat biscuits.

SinicalSal · 28/08/2011 17:02

You could get special emoticon masks that you flick up in front of your face at appropriate moments rather than risk unsightly wrinkles

SinicalSal · 28/08/2011 17:03

Oh fellatio me too

Gay40 · 28/08/2011 17:05

Ditto Fellatio.

A chat. I'd rather cut my legs off and roll the stumps in salt.

FellatioNelson · 28/08/2011 17:09

I hate them. I never know what the hell I'm supposed to say! I prefer a conversation with a definite point to it, like 'shall we meet next Friday? Yes! What time? Eight. Goodo. See you at eight and we'll catch up then. Bye.'

That's my idea of a phone chat. The thing is, once you have me in the flesh I don't shut the fuck up. Blush

OriginalPoster · 28/08/2011 17:09

I'm so antisocial I don't even do Facebook. My friends are used to me going quiet for long periods of time when they talk about last nights' reality TV, theme parks, celebs and school gossip all of which cause my brain to flatline.

GinSlinger · 28/08/2011 17:10

this is wonderful because i always thought it was just me and now I am entirely reassured that no one at all is wondering why I haven't called them. They're simply grateful that I haven't. Bloody marvelous.

As you were.

garlicnutter · 28/08/2011 17:10

Oh, Sal, I loved that idea so much I googled it (of course!)

You can get a hi-tech version and a lo-tech one for law enforcers.

Thogh the write-up for the LED mask says rather too much about the wearer, I suspect.

FellatioNelson · 28/08/2011 17:11

I avoided FB for ages, but once I ventured into it I realised that it is the anti-social person's dream come true. You can pretend to keep in touch with your friends without actually having to do it.

PernodPeril · 28/08/2011 17:22

They can't be arsed with me, and I can't either. MN is fab!

ConstanceNoring · 28/08/2011 17:22

Op, fuck off will you, there are enough miserable bjtches (lol) around 'ere. -me included--

Obv I am joking please don't hate me

< wibble>

S'funny innit in a sad kinda way

izzywhizzyletsgetbusy · 28/08/2011 19:14

I'm undeterred - the invite stands Agent. I'll get in a couple of gas masks and some very long tapers Grin

AbsDuWolef · 28/08/2011 20:07

Well, have just ignored a call from a friend. He talks sooooooooo much I can't handle it. if he wants something, he can text me. It takes two seconds and I don't have to listen to hours and hours of pointless chat.
