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?

Hi sorry just caught up with this.

I don't mean The Drunk Thread I mean drunk threads in general. If you have a few glasses of wine and come home a little tipsy and decide to post on MN then fine.

I just don't understand posts where the person cannot even put a sentence together like -

hvvvving so ugorg mhcu fuuuuuuuun!! am soooooo ddrnukkk!

I just don't get it.

If people want a few glasses of wine and a chat on here then go for it. I have no problem with 'The Drunk Thread'.

I'm not paranoid either Hmm. Just pointing out I'm a pleasant re-addition to MN Smile.

SarahRT · 01/01/2013 14:29

I don't drink, used to and back in the day and before my wheels completely fell off, had the constitution of a killer whale, but often lurk around the drunk thread, I love it, love happy giddy tipsy people, but when it all gets sad and despairing I suppose it reminds me of dark places where I used to be, the real drunk thread never gets sad.

So Usual please don't stop with your thread, it's sometimes my virtual drunk Friday night, the fun without the effects!Grin Sound like a right old bloody saddo.

TapirAroundTheChristmasTree · 01/01/2013 14:31

If you don't get it, then don't read it. It really is that simple.

ScarlettBelle · 01/01/2013 14:37

Again DON'T mind The Drunk Thread

I DO mind just drunk threads in general.

If you're at the point where you can no longer spell a single word right then I find it odd that it would go through someones mind to post on MN.

I remember on another forum I used people would post

"in tyheqi girllls toooilet haaaving toihhe bbbest niihht eevvver"

Mooooo.

TapirAroundTheChristmasTree · 01/01/2013 14:40

Which is why I said, if you don't get it, don't read it.

Some people come here to chat, whether it be on the drunk thread itself, or on their own drunk thread. It is obviously not what you would do, but we all do things differently - it's one of the things that makes MN as good as it is.

Feelingood · 01/01/2013 14:40

the trolls have got fat over christmas and need to go on diet!

Moominsarescary · 01/01/2013 14:46

I'm fat at the moment, and unable to drink. I'm also as grumpy as fuck and found myself wanting to shout get out get out at my bump last night, Rachael off friends style.

So ya all bu to be drinking and having fun, stop it now!

SPsFanjoHasSatelliteNavigation · 01/01/2013 14:50

No one says you have to find them funny. Don't like it don't click on them.

I have posted drunk because i was in bed and bored. There isn't a rule against it

OverlyYappyAlways · 01/01/2013 14:53

EIBUToday IMVHO!!!!!!!!!!

SPsFanjoHasSatelliteNavigation · 01/01/2013 14:54

And call it "fakey" all you wish. I couldn't give a rats arse. If I was going to fake a thread it would be better then the fact I'm in a bottom bunk Grin

Don't like it then you don't have to post on it.

Naysa · 01/01/2013 15:14

OP YANBU.

Reminds of the girls who I used to tutor for drama. Most of them go out clubbing fairly regularly now.

They update their statuses saying how "tis ben a gra5 nitema gurliiies . kuv getin pisd :') "

Just makes me think. Well done. You managed to consume so much alcohol that you can't perform a routine task, such as typing. Aren't you a clever little girl?

Same with random drunk threads. Most of them look fake/exaggerated anyway.

Just silliness really. If you've got nothing better to do than "pots o7n mn totees durnk" then should you really be drinking? Why not do something productive?

TheHoneyDragonsDrunkInTheIvy · 01/01/2013 15:17

Snidey, bitchy threads are worse than silly drunk threads. Thankfully I can't see snd snidey bitchy threads anywhere I may currently have my eyes shut

LadyBeagleEyes · 01/01/2013 15:23

Grin Honey.
There are a lot of snidey threads today.
It must be all the hangovers.

OverlyYappyAlways · 01/01/2013 15:26

so I am sober and here is sentence I look pissed lawyers why am drunk all time without alcohol ? Confused

I fixed that one..... still makes no sense, I have a Lawyer in it now

Pagwatch · 01/01/2013 15:27

I sent dh a text yesterday that looked like a drunk thread but that was because I didn't have my glasses.

That's old age right there. Not posting badly because I have my knickers around my ankles or because I am pissed but I am too blind too type and too old to remember where I left my bloody glasses.

Happy fucking new year Grin

Pinot · 01/01/2013 15:29

I quaite laike a good old snidey bitchy thread

There were a few stoooopid threads last night, not just yours Sole or SPs. So I don't think the OP was meaning to be snidey - it just turned out that way when we all piled in :o

Paggy you drunkard

SPsFanjoHasSatelliteNavigation · 01/01/2013 15:29

I've been accused of bern stranded and now faking a thread about bottom bunks Confused

My phone was full of drunk texts and FB messages last night trying to wish people a happy a new year

Pinot · 01/01/2013 15:32

Plus if you're going to start an obviously attention seeky thread, then you gotta expect some of that attention is going to be negative. Tis the law of averages.

I never post drunk as I am a soppy, tearful drunk. No-one needs to see that my DH tells me often

Pinot · 01/01/2013 15:32

oh xposts

hello
