Re: hotel complaint. I was mid-post and it went poof! Am I looking in the wrong section?

OP posts:

The eBay thread was made up too? I'm so gullible clearly...

arethereanyleftatall · 16/12/2014 18:12

You weren't alone!

Mrsmorton · 16/12/2014 18:12

LQTM at lenor not taking a dump in peace.

usualsuspectsparkly3 · 16/12/2014 18:13

Its like Jackanory on here these days.

The Ebay present one might as well have had (bullshit) in the thread title.

Mrsmorton · 16/12/2014 18:14

Was the ebay one where BIL had the gifts on ebay before the wrapping paper had made it into the bin? Yes, couldn't bring myself to read that one.

arethereanyleftatall · 16/12/2014 18:15

eBay one was completely bonkers, why on earth would you tell your ils about your eBay shop if that was your plans?!? Mind, it had pages of omgs.

arethereanyleftatall · 16/12/2014 18:16

Very wise mrs. M. I wasted a good ten minutes.

ladygracie · 16/12/2014 18:16

Oh, I never think that threads (esp cheeky people ones) are made up. I think I secretly love the idea that there are people who are THAT outrageous out there somewhere!

stillwearingaredribbon · 16/12/2014 18:16

It didn't take a genius to figure out liftzilla was bullshit
The second thread was started when it all seemed sorted
How did she know there would be more to report?
Plenty of other red flags in there too
Unless it's something totally banal I believe nowt on here anymore

usualsuspectsparkly3 · 16/12/2014 18:20

I didn't read the hotel one but I'm sure there have been similar hotel ones on here deleted before.

Do we have a hotel troll?

CaulkheadUpNorth · 16/12/2014 18:24

I read it and was skeptical. I would much rather someone posted that they were a bit bored or lonely or whatever and just wanted to chat rather than making up some ridiculous lies.

MokunMokun · 16/12/2014 18:25

Sometimes I prefer the made up threads though much more fun than another shoes off in the house thread.

Did the OP update after the phone call in the eBay thread? I'm curious what she would have said happened. I hope she did and it was suitably outrageous!

5EllipticGoldRings · 16/12/2014 18:33

Brilliant idea Talizorah , let's campaign for Fiction Corner Xmas Grin.

Mrsmorton · 16/12/2014 18:36

Could call it "under the bridge"

clam · 16/12/2014 18:52

My rule of thumb for detecting trolls dodgy threads is the point at which I think "Who on earth would DO this?" Then I sit back and realise that, in fact, no one would. Hence troll.

Jill2015 · 16/12/2014 19:19

The Ebay present one might as well have had (bullshit) in the thread title.

Totally agree.

26Point2Miles · 16/12/2014 19:30

The CSA/illegitimate dc one has gone as well.... Mnhq deletion message say they have doubts about the op

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 16/12/2014 19:40

Excellent name MrsM

Mumsnet HQ, Can we have a "Under the bridge" So we can read and critique the fictional threads please.

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 16/12/2014 19:45

It was blooming obvious it was made up! Hence my comments on it last night.

She was 'very dehydrated'.Yeah,sure she was.Wouldn't think of tap water though and was perfectly well.

Until she came down with a migraine that enabled her to spend the night staring at a computer screen.

The Windows don't open at all but they only open a certain amount,in the same sentence.

Won't open the windows to cool down a boiling hot room because it's cold outside.

The rubbish about sorting her laptop.

Thinking he was going to set the police on miss innocent after leaving the hotel.

Asking the new hotel if the guy from the last hotel had phoned them about her.

Come on!

It is pathetic though and there were people genuinely concerned for her and wanting to help her as she pretended to be in such a state.It's just not funny

Dixie, twat about someone in a lift share, that didnt wanna do it, told person, the person starts harassing op and then it just gets weird.

5EllipticGoldRings · 16/12/2014 20:10

Mrs M Xmas Grin

arethereanyleftatall · 16/12/2014 21:07

Trip trap - I was shaking my head in disbelief at that hotel thread. So clearly nonsense, and yet so many, many people being lovely to the op.

Jackie0 · 16/12/2014 21:56

Trip trap, was it you that kept telling the op to go to bed ?Grin

Of course now we know why she wouldn't name & shame.

Quiero · 16/12/2014 22:30

I wondered if liftzilla started out true but then the fucking Pom Pom wavers got so excited and started demanding updates the OP had to start making shit up.

It was evidently a pile of bullshit.

Threads like that always make me raise an eyebrow.
