Am I?

Really?

I don't think so. Angry

In fact, I think I've been too damn reasonable for too damn long.

Imo it's high time I started getting really un bloody reasonable.

Hmmm.....possibly
but possibly not.

I hope that helped just as much as your OP did :)

Janoschi · 10/05/2012 00:24

This could be viewed as a good start.

Pray carry on.

LimitedAppeal · 10/05/2012 00:46

Thankyou for your support bogey and Janoskipants. I have been down about this for a while.

It's a MN issue really. But I dare not talk about it. In case I get deleted for not washing under my armpits or something.

OP posts:
bogeyface · 10/05/2012 00:49

Or washing your mooncup with a toilet brush instead of in the dishwasher possibly?

MaryPorter · 10/05/2012 00:51

Hmmm over the last few weeks I have been questioning my own reasonableness. In RL though, not MN.

I still (just about) think that I am reasonable and right and everyone else is unreasonable and wrong. But if one more thing happens it'll tip me over the edge.

Sorry that's not helpful to you. It made me feel better though.

LimitedAppeal · 10/05/2012 00:58

Yes yes maryvirgin. I am teetering on that edge also: Sometimes I know I am reasonable, others I just know it even more.

It is quite similar to wanting to wash my mooncup with a toilet brush iykwim (to use bogeys analogy) as that is not an unreasonable thing to do in an organised MN sort of way.

But at the same time and in the same time and space continuum I want to scream and shout, break the rules, write to the letters page of the D Telegraph. Sad

I want to buy a tiny trumpet from a tiny shop in tiny land and blow it so loud that all the big people in Giant land cant sit down for a month. Do you know what I mean?

OP posts:
MaryPorter · 10/05/2012 01:07

Hmm yes, I think I do.

I would like to see what satisfaction I could get out of being unreasonable, because being reasonable does not fulfil me. It is pointless being right if no-one else believes I'm right.

However, I probably wouldn't enjoy being unreasonable either, cos that would make me an arse. There's no pleasing me.

Janoschi · 10/05/2012 01:07

I'm not sure how reasonable I can be towards someone who calls me Janoshkipants. Especially when they miss out the 'c'.

MaryPorter · 10/05/2012 01:10

Also, being reasonable and right in RL has left me in a very lonely place right now :( so maybe I should've just shut up and put up with the status quo. Or I should've screamed, stamped my feet and blown that trumpet.

Who knows?

Who cares?

:(

MaryPorter · 10/05/2012 01:12

I am also not Maryvirgin, but hey, I have bigger gripes right now Grin

squeakytoy · 10/05/2012 01:14

I only want to post so I can see what my name comes back as Grin

Noqontrol · 10/05/2012 01:23

Oh well I've done unreasonable for ages. Fancied a change so now I'm doing reasonable. I find I'm quite enjoying it

LimitedAppeal · 10/05/2012 01:57

skweekyboytoy please don't post on this thread if you have nothing useful to add.

Just because you are only air-filled or helium or maybe the breath of mermaids doesn't give you leaves to humaniliate others. fags. Angry

VirginMary I am right with you on this. Hang it all I am going to hand out a big dollop of unreasonableness. You've given me courage. Even to people who do the leaflets down at the clinic. Feck em I say.

Because let's face it nobody else puts the bin bags out do they.

I am getting quite worked up now.

OP posts:
LimitedAppeal · 10/05/2012 02:02

I knew everything has gone to bed. It's typical of this site. To start a meaningfulless idea and then get stopped mid flow as others just go up to their rooms and tealeaves me in the lurch when I am going on and on. Shame on you.

OP posts:
LimitedAppeal · 10/05/2012 02:12

Message and indeed thread notdeleted as entirely reasonable and is breaking no guidelines at all. Especially geneva convention and milk after teabag .

Also any replies along these lines will be read and digested and not deleted.

Unreasonable replies only. Ta.

ds has now come downstairs for the seventh time since going to bed.
No bloody wonder I need medication.

AutumnSummers · 10/05/2012 09:15

YANBU. But you can't have my trumpet. I bought it last week. Not to tame the giants, but to control them! Mwuhahahaaaa!

MaryPorter · 10/05/2012 09:44

I an going to join you. I'm going to be unreasonable all day. I've already started by sending dc to school. This is most unreasonable of me. But I don't care. Come 3pm and they'll have got over it.

gettingalifenow · 10/05/2012 09:48

Pray tell, oh mums net sisterhood, where can I purchase said tiny trumpet?

Beleive me, if I had one, I'd have been blowing it every day for the. Last six weeks! Than I'd feel all better.

And limited IMO UR being entirely R. HTH!

LimitedAppeal · 10/05/2012 09:59

Thankyou. maryhospital I am glad to see you leading the way here.

I also have been very unreasonable today by lying in and NOT sending ds to the CM.

Also I just made him get his own cup of water. fags. he is four so easily old enough.

I bought the tiny trumpet from the teeny shop on corner of 41 Incy-Wincy High Street. The one next to Thorntons and just before Superdrug.

No hang on there's an Asda in between

manicbmc · 10/05/2012 10:02

Don't do drugs. Confused

NoOnesGoingToEatYourEyes · 10/05/2012 10:06

I can't be bothered to be unreasonable today but that's working in my favour because I'm just sitting here on the sofa, alternately glaring at everyone or ignoring them. Apparently that's achieving unreasonability all on it's own.

I've got no idea whether you are being unreasonable or not because I just can't motivate myself to read the thread. Something about Thorntons selling trumpets in Asda to people who's names are spelled wrong? They are BU.

MaryPorter · 10/05/2012 11:05

Are you ok, limpedness?

Later, when I'm taking a break from being unreasonable, and if you feel up to it, I shall list all the ways in which I am currently being unreasonable. And then you can rate them for me.

LimitedAppeal · 10/05/2012 13:58

ok virgin. (waits patiently)
