To think all of this hand holding bollocks is going a bit too far now

It used to be that when something bloody awful happened to someone, they'd ask for a bit of hand holding, but its getting ridiculous now.

All it takes is for someone to post summat like "I've burnt tea" and the first sodding responder says "ooh you must be so worried, I'm holding your hand". This is then followed by a million other "I'm holding your hand too" posts.

How many fucking hands does one person have?

Seriously. Sheesh. Knock it off.

SP have you washed them first? I don't want mucky paw germs that could cause a sniffle that would have folks wanting to hold my hand and all that shizzle.

I need a handhold. My dd took all the credit for cooking the Sunday dinner whilst dh was out playing golf all day and he believed her! She's 6 Ffs!
I'm being oppressed!

MalenkyRusskyDrakonchik · 30/06/2013 20:03

True. But then it seeps through in the end, doesn't it?

ThisReallyIsNotSPNopeNotAtAll · 30/06/2013 20:04

Baby Obviously, I'm not feral Grin I'm quite high on hay fever tablets tbh.

In all seriousness I haven't seen this hand holding around but then again I tend to stick to the pointless threads like this Grin

I personally havent seen any of these threads of which you talk, babyheave.
Though you sound like you have a point.

Beer, forgotten all about that song.
For some reason, I recently heard a version of "Put your right leg, put your right leg out. In out in out, shake it all about"! Nearly forgot about that one too! Grin

There is a trend for people asking for opinions and then getting very annoyed should they receive anything other than copious amounts of tea and hand holding.

God forbid you should offer an opinion that doesn't match theirs.

DameFanny · 30/06/2013 20:08

U OK hun?

Buzzardbird · 30/06/2013 20:08

Good point everlong, I need to get over it don't i?

Buzzardbird · 30/06/2013 20:10

She did make a mighty fine yorkie pud though kontika. Grin

And lawks

Allthingspretty · 30/06/2013 20:23

Maybe there needs to be some altetnatives.

I suggest "I hate or I have to piss on your chips OP"
when the post andment is needed

DameFanny · 30/06/2013 20:24

I know! Pity me!

Amrapaali · 30/06/2013 20:35

Yes, yes. Oh, and please stop handing out those vile biscuits. They look radioactive and I'm sure, taste rotten. Biscuit

Are you biscuit aficionados even using it right? Dont just scatter them like confetti. Use it when you say No Comment.

Ummm..actually that IS a bit silly. "David Cameron, is it true you had an affair with Rebekah Brooks?" "Here, have a custard cream" Confused

I giveup. Hold my foot, somebody please...

nenevomito · 30/06/2013 20:37

Are you goodnessing me Olivia?

To clarify. Support = good. posting for anything = not so good.

though I'm warming to the idea of holding feet. So long as they have socks on and don't smell.

Can I help hold a foot? Maybe do a bit of reflexology?

Amrapaali? Is your foot still free?
