AIBU to be shocked and horrified?

[WorraLiberty]

I'm shocked and horrified at the amount of people who say they are 'shocked and horrified' at things that don't really warrant shock or horror...just a bit of an eyebrow raise and perhaps a spot of pearl clutching for good measure.

I think it's shocking and horrific if I'm honest

I'm shocked and horrified you felt the need to start a thread

I just like an excuse to clutch at my pearls, really. That's why I'm shocked and horrified at many, many, things.

YABU

Frankly I'm shocked and horrified at your lack of empathy.

I don't blame you Groovee

I wish I could raise one eyebrow.

[Irrelevant but true]

I'm shocked and horrified that MsVestibule is openly admitting to having a pearl necklace....I know it's Saturday night but that's a little TMI

Haven't got any pearls- can I clutch yours, Worra? Or would that shock and horrify you?

Hahahahahaha was thinking the same - how to make sure everyone thinks you are a drama queen and bu before you've even started!

I'm hocked and shorrified on a regular basis myself.

Hoping your pearl necklace is made from pearls .....

Haven't got any pearls- can I clutch yours, Worra? Or would that shock and horrify you?

Not so much shock and horror but more of a "STOP, THAT THIEVING BASTARD FROM GETTING AWAY!!"

Also has a touch of the Drama Llamas tonight

Okay, that's it. You and I are going for a DNA test. How come you know what I'm thinking if you aren't my secret twin?

I've had the very same thought for the past couple of days and was tempted to do an AIBU but was too scared of getting flamed.

And can I add "outraged" to "shocked and horrified" please?

I'm shocked and horrified that I got a cold, I don't want a cold

Do you want to Google Pearl Necklace then...?

Rubs hands on thighs is a Reeves and Mortimer fashion...

I love it when OPs underplay their emotions, hedging their bets on whether they're BU or not.

'AIBU to be mildly miffed/a tad annoyed at my MIL/DH?'

Sometimes you need a bit of OTT emotion to pull in the punters

Graham I'm squatting inside your head...did I forget to mention it?

It's so spacious and roomy in here, if a little mucky

People do seem to love getting all worked up around here. Someone earlier said "I'm boiling with rage on your behalf". OP was only mildly miffed. They want a cup of tea and a nice sit down, they do.

Ziggers that's how I imagine the Queen would post

I would be shocked and horrified but I can't be arsed I have no energy left!!

They want a cup of tea and a nice sit down, they do

Or a glass of wine and a pearl necklace...

Well I'm just livid at you all being shocked and horrified!

Joan I've just read your post in a northern accent for some reason

"Graham I'm squatting inside your head...did I forget to mention it?

It's so spacious and roomy in here, if a little mucky"

It sure is!

'Would one be unreasonable to tell the whole bally lot of my fucking faamily to do one? (apart from Wills)' is what I'd like to imagine to be more her style worra

Especially if she'd been on the pop since luncheon.

can I clutch someones pearls or is that shocking and horrifying?

Worra, I am absolutely beside myself and spitting with rage here... I have no idea why....
