To be annoyed to learn a certain thread was not genuine.

So the sports day thread where the child was victimised for being slow and adopted has been pulled and seems not to be genuine. Why would someone do that?

thats right, for some reason i thought the documentary was called catfish instead of 'the girl who became three boys'

I knew i was talking shit, apologies Grin

Mrsjayy · 13/06/2014 16:06

Oh I saw the channel 4 one it was strange and tragic all at the same time

MrsKoala · 13/06/2014 16:09

i saw that documentary too Shock . I was thinking 'you didn't think it odd you had to txt him all the time . The whole thing just boggled my mind.

I didn't mean creepy like he was creepy Card, i meant i thought it was a trap and the person/little girl was going to be a serial killer or something and the add scared me

TurtleyAmazing · 13/06/2014 16:09

If i remember rightly wasn't the girls she duped her real friends?

TurtleyAmazing · 13/06/2014 16:13

I remember thinking 'surely they knew something was wasn't quite right'

I would like to imagine that i would pick up on the many many warning signs.

Mrsjayy · 13/06/2014 16:13

Mrs k Grin your seriel killer fear, yeah I think they knew her

Mrsjayy · 13/06/2014 16:15

They were kids though it was probably exciting for them to have a boyfriend

TurtleyAmazing · 13/06/2014 16:15

That makes it even worse then mrsjayy

bruffin · 13/06/2014 16:15

Wonder if the gp party one was the same troll as that involved adoption as well

TurtleyAmazing · 13/06/2014 16:16

I imagine so, how old was they? i've got 15/16 in mind.

Mrsjayy · 13/06/2014 16:19

Yip much worse

Mrsjayy · 13/06/2014 16:20

What party one

TurtleyAmazing · 13/06/2014 16:24

I think she actually met one of the girls parents too. If they was already friends then i would imagine the parents had met her as her before? It was all rather strange.

slithytove · 13/06/2014 16:30

Gp party was a great thread, still sad that was a troll

bruffin · 13/06/2014 16:32

Mrsjayy
The gp party where the op was uninvited by her dn because she was annorexic and would upset dn's friend. Op had an adopted dd who the dn wanted her to drop off at party then lie why she wasnt attending.
Was deleted for trolling a few weks ago

TurtleyAmazing · 13/06/2014 16:35

I stupidly took GP to mean general practitioner instead of grandparents Blush I thought that thread was bullshit too.

Mrsjayy · 13/06/2014 16:35

Oh was that the grandmas birthday one

BigRedBall · 13/06/2014 16:35

I knew the GP party thread was a lie! What a loon. I had no idea it was deleted.

Mrsjayy · 13/06/2014 16:36

Oh I thought gp to be dr I am on another thread moaning about acronyms,

LadyIsabellaWrotham · 13/06/2014 16:38

Also got a shameful feeling of pride and vindication that my trolldar is up to scratch. Nobody in 21st century Britain talks like the Disney villainess in the sports day thread. I'd have put money on it. The stage whispered "common" was the nail in the coffin.

LadyIsabellaWrotham · 13/06/2014 16:39

The anorexic party uninvitation however I thought was random enough to be true, though I only read the first couple of posts.

ballsballsballs · 13/06/2014 16:39

I've reported sock puppetry in Relationships today. Fuckers.

Wellwellwell3holesintheground · 13/06/2014 16:40

I nearly started a thread after sports day because the mum next to me kept going on about how the black kids won all the races and heavily hinting that the races should be segregated! I didn't because it really does sound like trollery.

sillystring · 13/06/2014 16:40

I never clicked on to that grandparent anorexic thing, glad I never bothered now :)
