in thinking that "Are you ok?!" or "oooooooh I bet that hurt" is a fucking stupid thing to say?

When someone has clearly just REALLY fucking hurt themselves?

Just stubbed my toe, which as we all know hurts more than having babies albeit briefly, and was hopping around swearing when DD (15) said "oooh I bet that hurt, are you ok?"

I didnt swear at her (as I would if her father had said it!) just rolled my eyes and said "REALLY?!" . To be fair she did smirk and say sorry!

Why is it human nature to say such a blatantly stupid thing?! Man falls down 2 flights of stairs and every limb he has is bending the wrong way. "oh, are you alright?" Take a wild guess, genius!

AIBU?

PS, I make a point of trying not to say this, but it does sometimes slip out!

She was just asking you if you were ok

If this comes across as unpleasant lulu I suggest you don't enter any more AIBU threads Grin

When people ask if you are ok, they mean, for example, in this instance: does it only hurt or do you think you have broken your toe?

And I bet that hurt, that they feel sorry for you.

Only "Sorry" would be a bit off, as she had nothing to apologise for.

Next time she should say: hit it harder. Wink

Foggles I would love to have heard the chinese whispers that led from a broken arn to dead! Thats some leap!

First Sharon knew about it was when they were lighting candles for her in church.

Anyway, I digress. Is there anything that can be done for a broken toe? I thought there was no point in going to A&E because they couldn't do anything anyway. Just for future reference y'understand.

Bogeyface · 18/01/2013 21:50

They can strap it up, and keep an eye on it. DD plays rugby and they are really hot on broken toes, it can end a career. If it doesnt set right then a second break can be much worse, and thats the main reason, according the email we got about injuries from the coach.

And lighting candles, that would freak you out wouldnt it?! :o

I am thinking that all of MNHQ has claimed a snow day except poor Snowlivia who has spent 3 hours struggling in to MN Towers and has now been left on her own to deal with Friday night drunkards, the top-of-bridge-challenged and the bumsex crew without even a supply of emergency jaffa cakes. It's enough to make anyone a bit tetchy.

WorraLiberty · 18/01/2013 22:55

Really?

When it gets past 6pm, I imagine them lounging in sumptuous bubble baths with a glass of wine...idly moderating using their mobile phones Grin

ImperialBlether · 18/01/2013 22:55

I think what she said was OK and you can't think of anything better she could have said.

What I hate is when someone makes it about them - so you stub your toe and are writhing about in agony and they say, "Ohh I hate that, that happened to me the other day..." and bang on for ten minutes about how much their toe hurt while yours is the colour of a black olive and throbbing like mad.

Bogeyface · 18/01/2013 22:59

You get jaffa cakes for bumsex?

BAck in a mo, need to change the room mate agreement...

Yep Imperial

In fact anything that someone else makes about themselves is massively annoying. I know someone who makes everything about themselves.....:o

You might think that, we couldn't possibly comment.

Iceaddict · 18/01/2013 23:22

Would you rather she didn't say anything and just watch u hopping around like she didn't care?
