When I look at the top of the page and my inbox has a little glowing envelope?

I only ever really PM 2 people (who I knew before joining MN) and I've only ever had nice PMs from other posters.

So why when I see it light up, do I always get that funny little feeling?

You know like when the phone rings after 9pm or there's a knock at the door at an odd time of the day/night? Grin

Am I alone in this? Blush

Softly I read that as you've just 'dicked' your inbox Shock

I was going to remark on how flexible you are...

"Have you got a minute?" at work = brown trousers time.

WorraLiberty · 06/10/2012 23:06

I was also going to remark on the fact you've grown a penis

But how and why you did that, is no concern of mine....

Flexible and a hermaphrodite.

Handy sometimes

When certain people ring my landline (work, mil etc) I'm always too anxious to answer it straight away in case I'm in bad books so wait for them to leave a message. The message always says...'mines can you ring me back' so am none the wiser and then I get really nervous!

Oh and I hate 'can I just say something' and 'can I have a word' followed by door closing. Gulp Blush

I LOVE it.

and I got loads at MOOG organisation time. I should have left one in there just so the little spot could wink at me Grin

WorraLiberty · 06/10/2012 23:11

Softly Grin

I like.... "Can I ask you a question?"

I always reply with.... "Yes and you've just proved that. Seeya later"

What's a MOOG organisation?

Sounds like something run by a bald hard man with a fluffy white cat

"I've got a bone to pick with you, Iodine" Said by my dad EVEN now makes my stomach sink into my boots and worry about what I've done wrong.

Nagoo · 06/10/2012 23:20

people say 'can I ask you a question?' Grin

Moog was the orgy of giving.

I accidentally C&P a link to a cock ring trying to do that. It's been a fun night.

Oh right Grin

I get terrified by "Can I have a word?" at work - but I have been horrendously bullied in my former career.

My inbox flashing does make me panic a bit if I've just disagreed with someone. I don't answer landline calls from numbers I don't know and I've been known to hide upstairs if someone knocks the front door. Blush

wow - a flashy envelpoe, and to think I nearly went to bed and didn't come back to this thread

decides not to read it yet, just to keep pretty flashing inbox for a while longer.....

bonnieslilsister · 06/10/2012 23:34

I always get panicky and feel guilty when I see a police car or man/woman I have no idea why cos I live a pretty boring life and dont break the law!

WorraLiberty · 06/10/2012 23:34

It could be a long night steppemum, I can just imagine you sitting up all night staring at the illuminated envelope with a little smile on your face Grin

Depends on the disagreement Worra Wink

WorraLiberty · 06/10/2012 23:36

bonnie and supermarket security guards

I can never look one in the eye...despite never having stolen anything in my life!

WorraLiberty · 06/10/2012 23:37

I think you should wrap yourself, your family and your whole house in tinfoil sooty

You just can't be too careful...

I feel like this whenever I get a brown envelope through the door !

maras2 · 06/10/2012 23:41

I bloody love it.Unfortunately it's only ever happened twice in 4 years.If I could,I'd PM myself.

bonnieslilsister · 06/10/2012 23:41

For some reason security guards don't bother me....it is a mystery

ilovesooty · 06/10/2012 23:41

BasicallySFB · 06/10/2012 23:43

I only got them following a mightily awful ruck (I've NC - several times - since to stay incognito such are my scars!) and a donation to a particularly upsetting blanket donation.

I may start sending messages ....
