to not understand or find 'drunk' threads funny?

I really don't understand drunk threads....

When I've been out drinking and I get home I either go straight to bed (without taking my make-up off eww) or chuck a pint of water and then go to bed.

I have no effort to do anything, but crash out in bed.

I have to gather the will power to brush my teeth nevermind switching on my laptop and starting a thread. As it really is the furthest thing from my mind.

Also I do realise that people use their phones to start threads. But when I'm out having fun with friends or my partner drinking, thats generally exactly what I'm doing. I don't think - hang on a second and whip my phone out and start a thread on mumsnet.

And I just don't find posts such as -

weifjwp uwrh fvh i ma soooooo durnk!!! wefpwehf

Funny.

Aibu?

I had a drink of alcohol last Christmas. This New Years Eve I had three glasses of home made wine I was given as a present. Lethal stuff. I felt down and reached out for comfort. I was at home and had been posting most of the evening.
Hope that explanation helps.

The ^&&&jsdiew threads are so few and far between, they're easier to ignore than the repeated deliberate typo threads that a lot of people find hilarious.

Horses for courses really, some people find them funny and others find them a bore but nothing to get ones knickers knotted about.

Yes the deliberate typo threads are really starting to grate lately.

Your problem seems to be failure to take into account that other people are not you. "

This.

I don't post drunk on MN because I don't get drunk any more. But I have emailed people drunkenly in the past and yes, my typos are pretty bad (but go unnoticed until the next day). Therefore I tend to find the drunk threads (YES WE ALL KNOW YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SPsFANJO) quite amusing because they remind me of those drunk email days.

I also have MN logged on the whole time, and FB, and email - so could post on any of them completely bladdered should I choose to.

Math has it - just because some people do things differently to you, doesn't make them wrong, so YABU.

I haven't spotted any SP threads. Well last night I was..erm.. Poor SP.

VestaCurry · 01/01/2013 13:50

They're not my cup of tea (boom boom) but they've been going on MN for years and are just a bit of fun as far as I can tell.

Let's have an extra special Friday drunk Fred this Friday as a demo of our rights to have one Grin we can use up all the leftover drinks from Xmas and I promise to wear new Xmas knickers with good elastic in them.

I defend my right to a drunk thread so there.

I've come back to MN after not being on here for a good few years and I've mentioned that a few times. I'm not an inadequate bitch though Smile.

AlienRefluxThanksFuckThatsOver · 01/01/2013 14:14

right, really don't think this needs to turn into a cunt fest now does it? who's pissed?

SoleSource · 01/01/2013 14:18

My god paranoia!! I don't know who you are. Referring to the fat trolls.

EmmaBemma · 01/01/2013 14:20

I always find the extravagant typos a bit contrived. I have been in some absolutely shocking states in my time but, should the need arise, I've always been able to find my way around a keyboard. i just type a bit more laboriously and am pretty free with the "xx"s.

Nancy66 · 01/01/2013 14:20

did the 'pound of minge is so expensive' thread ever end up in classics.

Can't believe people bought that one.

LadyBeagleEyes · 01/01/2013 14:22

Jeez, people are grumpy today.

SoleSource · 01/01/2013 14:23

Hides thread cannot be bothered. Got slight hangover. I never drink, alcohol is boring.
