To have boiling piss, red mist rage and steam coming from my ears?

[MenopausalHaze]

Why do people do this? Make a post about someone - a friend, or DC friend or whatever and then say "We'll call her X" "Or Z" "Or Julie" "Or some other bloody made up name".

Helllllllo??? Why don't you just call her by her real name? Nobody knows who you are anyway do they?

And breathe. As you were.

Cos everyone is paranoid aboutbeing recognised. Or their scenario being recognised and then the correct name really would prove it.

Do you really not understand that? Strange.

Cant see why its something to be bothered about tbh! As long as they get the story they want to over it doesnt matter what they call people!

Is you one of them frothing bezerkers like?

I most definitely am frothing yes! Do I not bloody understand it? No - I buggery don't since you ask! It would take more than a false name to stop me recognising a scenario - wouldn't it you?

You don't know any of them so why do you care? And how do you know they aren't their real names and the "let's call her Julie" is just a decoy to throw you off the scent and make you think it's a made up name, but actually, she is called Julie...

Well they would know wouldnt they if they were called something stupid like .... ummm Skylark-Jezebel as opposed to plain old Jane ...even then you can bet it would be a Jayne, of Jay-nah ....ad nauseum on wanky spellings.

but your bog standard Ivanhoe and Columbus wouldnt raise an eyebrow.

Sometimes you have to point out the bleedin' obvious that you have name changed the people involved otherwise someone usually posts saying " I hope they aren't their real names you used.."

Froth on...

Precisely I don't know any of them! So why all the cloak and dagger shit? If they want to throw in a false name why don't they just quietly do so? Why all the "We'll call her...........". It's pish, piffle and pissing well unnecessary!

There was a girl, we'll call her Betty
And a guy, let's call him Neil.
Now I can't stress this point too strongly,
This story isn't real.

That gave you boiling piss?

Wow

What happens if someone doesn't take their shoes off when they enter your house?

You have completely missed two points MoFo. One is the tongue in cheek aspect of my post and two is that we all have a nickname don't we? Pffffft.

Boiling piss coming out of your ears?

You need to see a doctor about that. Straight to A&E, NOW!

If someone doesn't take their shoes off in my house I'd be more likely to warn them I haven't hoovered for a year and they do so at their peril!

Well one recent thread has talked about "Anna" and "Bella". I assumed those weren't randomly chosen names but deliberately chosen to instead of "A" and "B" to personalise the people involved and make the story more natural. I thought that was quite nice. Certainly didn;t make me froth.

Not to mention the boiling piss stains on the carpet.

I thought I had boiling piss once. Was cystitis.

The answer to your question is paranoia. I don't want

YADBU but I did have a little titter reading a thread earlier where the lady wrote something like;

'so then John (that's not his real name btw) went?'

Just the thought of a load of MNetters thinking 'dammit, I know a John but turns out it's not him'

Ok it was funny in my head

It's funny in my head too greeneyes!

But but but...if someone DOES use real names, the others are obliged to carp "aren't you worried about being identified?"

You can't win!

I've only done this once because a couple of my old school friends names are relatively in common. OK individually, but in the same sentence unwise.
Both my DDs are friends with pairs of sisters that again are very risky in the same post.

Uncommon

I really don't expect anyone not to do it on account of my boiling piss you know!

YANBU at all

Especially when they give them a name like 'John' or 'Sue'

And then go on to describe the fact they have one leg, pink eyes and 3 nipples

I mean, what's the point in changing their fucking name?

Probably it would be better to use the names of stations. London Bridge. Catford. Tunbridge Wells.
