Too much indignation/outrage!

[Gralick]

Everywhere I went today, people were doing this face. Every thread I visit on here, posters are indignant.

OK, it has its place but AIBU to wish folks would just chill out a bit and stop taking personal offence at every bloody thing, ffs? I'm indignant at all the indignation!

And I am professionally offended at your indignation at all the indignation!

Come sit with me, OP, I'm too tired to be indignant today.

Sorry op, I'm probably one of them It's been a very strange day. I'm exhausted now!

Good reply, thecat

Come and sit on the exhausted but chilled bench with me & Welsh, Flo. I have cold beers, pretzels and a peaceful smile.

Actually, I might have to go & buy some pretzels now. I'll go peacefully

I'm in a good mood and can't be offended today. I was even very patient when someone in front of me at the till took AGES to find their purse in their handbag. Still smiling

I like your mood, where :)

I'm on my way op........

My brother is one of these people - the 'professionally offended', it must be exhausting being so angry all the time looking for percieved slights. When he does find genuine reason he is almost gleeful he has something to be outraged about.
I do love him but he's very hard work

Agree about MN lately. I was on a thread about nub theory and the OP made the mistake of saying she wanted a dd. She got handed her arse on a plate and lots of professionally offended poster's laying in.

I'm new (ish) here and I'm amazed at judgements being handed out by the indignant.

But I can't help rubber necking ...

No pretzels in the shops, Flo. I got spicy poppadoms instead. Hope you're not offended

Welcome to the home of the irate woman, Zampa. Take a seat. Lager or bitter?

What's nub theory? Dare I ask??

Spicey poppadoms are great. Anyway I'm too chilled to care now....

YANBU

But I suppose that's the nature of AIBU. You can come out of a thread feeling like you've done a few rounds in a boxing ring. Then I nip into baby names for some nice fluffiness.

In my RL, all is fine and happy. No indignation or outrage (currently) around me.

I am saying nothing about anything.

I have a theory that you should only 'be offended' when someone is actually trying to offend you. Some people seem to go out their way looking for things to be offended by.

It's a lovely day and I've been to the gym. Too spaced out to be offended or outraged... for now!!
